Critiques for Mac and Lottie

Mac’s critique from the Welsh Kennel Club Champ show, Judge G MarleyVD Wallington, Sophtspot In The Zone – this 7 year old is in good overall condition. He is well balanced and a pleasing size. He has a good head with correct width of skull with correct fine ears. He has a good neck, correctContinue reading “Critiques for Mac and Lottie”

Birmingham City Champ Show

A first for us, we’ve not been before. Dave drew the short straw and the very early start to come with me as we were taking all 3 Spots. He was rewarded with a bacon and egg butty for breakfast and a very a nice late lunch! He also had the responsibility of taking theContinue reading “Birmingham City Champ Show”

The Welsh Kennel Club Champ Show

It’s only the 2nd time I’ve gone to Builth Wells for a show, it’s not that far, but it takes nearly 4 hours! We booked a lovely AirBnB about 30 minutes from the Showground to make it easier to get to in the morning. It was a really cold, wind day, struggled to believe it’sContinue reading “The Welsh Kennel Club Champ Show”

Mac’s critique from DCoS

Mac’s critique from Dalmatian Club of Scotland, judge Lauran WheatonVeteran dog2nd Wallington’s Sophtspot In The Zone – He pushed the first dog all the way, it wasn’t a straightforward decision. This boy is also handsome with a masculine head. Well balanced, nicely boned, good feet, nice depth and width of chest. He has good angulationContinue reading “Mac’s critique from DCoS”

Scottish Utility Breeds Association Champ show, and Dalmatian Club of Scotland Champ show

I love a joint champ show, and it’s a first for us, going to Kelso, and for the first SUBA champ show. Yesterday we took Mac and Seren his time, although Lottie did join us later to say hi to people! We started with SUBA, with Mac in Veteran, I still can’t believe he’s aContinue reading “Scottish Utility Breeds Association Champ show, and Dalmatian Club of Scotland Champ show”

Mud, glorious mud!

We took the Spots to a secure field, as Mac is super sensitive to smells at the moment so has to be on a lead for walks. The secure field allows him to mooch around rather than going where I am. The pond/puddle has become a squelchy mud pond, and all 3 loved going forContinue reading “Mud, glorious mud!”

A weekend at Naini’s

The Spots love going to my parents, they love the space, the stream, the ponies … they love everything!! We’ve had some trees cut down after storm damage, so it seemed the ideal opportunity to get some core balance and on practise … Seren also had her third birthday … Naini made her cake andContinue reading “A weekend at Naini’s”

Photoshoot

I wanted to get some more professional photos of the Spots, maybe for adverts, so I asked the lovely Natalie from Hellherder Photography to do a photo shoot. We travelled down a a lovely secure field in Ashby de la Zouche for it. The field was at the top of the hill and we hadContinue reading “Photoshoot”

Easter break

Ellie came back from university so we’ve had a few days off, doing the beach and going to my parents in the Lake District. The Spots love both the beach and Naini’s, they are their ideas of heaven! We like to go to Formby, I love the mix of dunes and sand, you can getContinue reading “Easter break”
