First let me take this opportunity to wishing everyone a lovely Easter with your beautiful Papillon. This edition of Our Dogs has an early closing date for Breed Notes, so I will not be able to include UK Toydog Ch Show results. It will take a couple of weeks for these to now appear. Our…
Exhibitors who attended certain days of Crufts are being warned to take their dogs to the vet if they show symptoms of a rare bacterial infection.

Easter is fast approaching and with it we adjust the clocks and get some lighter evenings.

Well Crufts has been and gone for another year. Wasn’t it delightful it was to see the little Westie go BIS with the Whippet RBIS. How very humble and down to earth both exhibitors were, they truly deserved the honour of the accolade. The BIS judge Mr Derek Smith was immaculate in his grey suit…
