City of Birmingham Champ show

We took Mac and Eire along, it was Eira’s first time at a champ show, she went along to get used to being in a crate, and experience the sounds and smells of a show. She had a wander round and even a little go in the ring after the show. Mac was in VeteranContinue reading “City of Birmingham Champ show”

Driffield Champ shows

So we are back showing after 8 months out!! There were 2 Champs shows as last year’s show was cancelled due to the storm. Driffield 2025 was judged by Jackie Kitchener. Mac took 2nd in a strong Open class. Seren was not placed in her large open class. Driffield 49th (last year’s show) was judgedContinue reading “Driffield Champ shows”

British Utility Breeds Association Champ Show

The last show of the year for us, and just Mac and Seren. It wasn’t really our day, Mac got a Very Highly Commended, Seren, in the biggest class of the day, wasn’t placed. We are now going to take some time out, have a rest and plan next year’s show schedule.

North of England Dalmatian Club champ show

I took Mac and Seren to the club show, with the damper weather I didn’t want Loodles in a crate all day. The hall was cold and the matting got slippier and slippier as the day went on. Both showed their socks off in strong, large classes, but it wasn’t their day. Seren, particularly, didContinue reading “North of England Dalmatian Club champ show”

British Dalmatian Club Champ Show

It was a huge entry for the BDC Champ show, with a judge for the girls (John McCarthy) and a judge for the dogs (Mrs Jenvall). Lots of class clashes as we had 2 rings, but all three got short listed in big classes and Lottie got reserve in her mid limit class, so aContinue reading “British Dalmatian Club Champ Show”

Midland Counties Champ Show

We took all three Spots to Stafford showground for Midland Champ show, under judge Bill Deamer. The classes were huge, so no placings for any of the Spots, but they all looked great.

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”
