Spring is well on its way

The days are getting longer, it’s getting drier and warmer, which means the Spots are enjoying more time outside. Mac and Lottie are having a few days away in the Lakes, Seren has stayed at home. It’s good to mix up who has time away, as you never know when you may need to separateContinue reading “Spring is well on its way”

The Joint Dalmatian Clubs Champ Show

All three Spots went to the last Joint Dalmatian Clubs Champ show, and all came home with a rosette and place card. Seren was up first in a large Yearling class, and placed 3rd. I was pleased with this placing as she was a bit of a fidget bum, and kangarooed a bit on theContinue reading “The Joint Dalmatian Clubs Champ Show”

Spring is coming

Finally the signs of Spring are appearing. It’s hard to believe that this time two years ago we were planning the Ailsadot Astral litter. Both Mac and Lottie have matured nicely over the last couple of years, and Seren is beginning to mature, she’s still very much a puppy mentally, and going through another growthContinue reading “Spring is coming”

Christmas 2022

We always spend Christmas with the girls’ grandparents, my parents. But covid meant that we missed a couple of years, and last year Seren was in season, so it was lovely to be back there this year. My parents live in the Lake District so we were surrounded by beautiful scenery, snow on the topsContinue reading “Christmas 2022”

Formby Beach

We always go to the beach during the Christmas holiday, it’s a bit of a family ritual. As always we go early so we are usually leaving as everyone else is arriving! The tide was a it’s highest, something we haven’t experienced before, so the Spots were totally confused, as they are used to runningContinue reading “Formby Beach”

Formby Beach

With the weather being so hot we decided to head to the beach for an early morning run, let the Spots let of some steam, but keep cool in the sea. The tide was at it’s lowest so we had a bit of walk down to the sea. The Spots loved chasing each other andContinue reading “Formby Beach”

Leeds Champ Show

Frank Kane (he of Crufts fame) was judging Dalmatians at Leeds, so I decided to take all three to the show. The girls showed their socks off in big classes, Mac was less enthusiastic on the run, so didn’t get as highly placed as he could have done, but that life. Mac got third inContinue reading “Leeds Champ Show”

The Royal Cheshire Dog Show

A day out for all three Spots, just up the road to the Cheshire Show ground. It was incredibly hot, luckily we managed to get some cover do the dogs were in the shade. All three got placings, Mac won his Open class and Best in Breed, Lottie got Reserve in Post Graduate, and SerenContinue reading “The Royal Cheshire Dog Show”
