Southern Counties had a foreign flavour with a judge from Italy, Mr Francesco Cochetti judging the breed, Dr Goran Bodegard from Sweden judging the Toy Group, from the USA Mr Ron Menaker judging the Toy Puppy Group and BPIS and finally for the Veteran Group Paula Heikkinen-Lehkonen from Finland. We did return back to the…
So, lets kick start the Championship news with a double showing weekend in Scotland. The first of these shows was at SKC where I am sure there was a friendly welcome as you went through the doors to your respective rings. Here the judge for SKC’s first show of the year was Sean Carroll (Denemore)….
So here we are at the Birmingham National at Stafford. One of my favourite shows as the committee always put 100% into making it a day for the exhibitor and this show was no exception. Papillons were judged in the Prestwood Centre away from the humdrum noise of the main hall. The other bonus was…
To give you a little heads up of the forthcoming shows for the The Papillon (Butterfly Dog) Club. The clubs Open Show on 17th Nov 18, will be held at St Mary’s Hall, Solihull. The judge will be Mr Doug Johnston (Dourhu). Doug’s late wife Ruth would have been so proud of this day. Next…
Come on summer, you have to be there somewhere. A cold day at Malvern for WELKS Championship Show, what a blessing it was for the Papillon exhibitors as the Papillons were judged in the Severne Hall, where everyone was snug as a bug. For those that were showing outside they certainly needed thermals. Mr Tony…
The Butterfly Papillon Club held their Championship at The Kennel Club Buildings at Stoneleigh and the sun was apparently shining brightly. Here Tom Mather (Barkalots) was judging the dogs and Carolyn Roe (Sunshoo) the bitches. Caroline Lee- Slater was judging Best Fringes, Junior Handling and was referee for the day. It was of course a…
A favourite show for all the toy breed enthusiasts is UK Toy Dog held at Staffordshire Showground or better known to many as Bingley Hall.

So, somehow we are in April, how did that happen? Before we know it LKA will be looming on the horizon. Hope everyone had fun over the Easter holidays and for those at the shows over this period please remember to let me know your results and successes. Next week I will give news from…
Easter bunnies at the ready whether it be of the cute fluffy variety or the chocolate look alike hidden under the duvet, behind the sofa cushion or at the back of the cupboard safe guarded from prying mitts. Enjoy your chocoholic moment with every mouthful, are you going to share…… what a silly question! Having…
So, another Crufts done and dusted and before we know it will be that time of the year again. Let’s hope summer is just around the corner with unlimited use of the sun umbrellas, goodness, after all the snow, rain, gales, freezing temperatures and whatever else the weather has thrown at us in the last…
Well Crufts week is finally here, no matter what the weather throws at us, would we miss it? Not in your wildest dreams. Whatever day you are at the NEC, I wish you a day that is spent full of happy socialising, fun and entertainment. Most of us will be lighter on leaving the halls,…
One week away and counting… yes, Crufts is on our doorstep, ready and waiting. Where does the time go, it doesn’t seem two minutes since the last Crufts and here we are another year on. I can personally guarantee, by the end of the week we will not be using the sat nav as the…
