Isn’t it great when your day starts off with the post delivering a pleasant surprise, Katriona Milroy was just one of those people with a broad smile from ear to ear. The organisers of the East Anglian Supermatch had confirmed that her Farleysbane Frilly Filly From Farthinghall had qualified for this event. The Supermatch will…
Who thinks we are experiencing the oddest weather? Snow, sleet, gales driving rain, frost, sunshine and that is all going on during one day. All I can say is bring on summer, it can’t come soon enough. Earlier this month The Papillon( Butterfly Dog) Club held their Open Show at St Mary’s Church Hall, Solihull….
We had all better get our chorister vocal chords in practice as we will be singing in unison ‘The little goat herd’, for in October we are all setting off for the goat shed. This year at SWKA it will be a double show for Papillons on the same day. On Sunday 6th Oct 2018…
This week we will cover the Open Shows that have been held. Firstly let take ourselves up to Bonnie Scotland where the The Papillon Club of Scotland held their Open show. For this show it was to be breed specialist Melanie Mann (Melangel) that was taking the helm and having the pleasure of spending the…
The second Championship show of the year took exhibitors to Staffordshire Showground or better known to many as Bingley Hall. It was a cold morning and the grass was covered in frost as if starched to every blade end and paths were slippery. The Papillon’s were to be judged in Annexe B which has the…

Whatever your dreams maybe for the forthcoming year, I hope they are fulfilled to the brim with nothing but love and laughter. I expect like…
Happy Santapap Christmas everyone, during these last few days for the run up to Christmas I am sure the list of ‘to do’s’ is getting progressively longer. Either the wrapping is getting near to expert level, or if not, like me you’re getting yourself sticky plastered with Sellotape. Whatever your Christmas may bring, I wish…
Bonfire night day saw Northern & Eastern Counties Papillon Club hold their Open Show with Breed Specialist Jacqueline Hill (Caraideas) from Scotland judging. It must have been very exciting day for her and I am sure she had a lovely day going over all the Papillons present. N&ECPC are renowned for a friendly atmosphere and…
Let’s backtrack a little for the Championship Shows for breed notes this week. For those readers that perhaps have missed a few of the results along the way, we can get you back up to speed and firing on all cylinders for the run up to the end of 2017. Goodness, where has this year…
Hello Papillon lovers. How delighted was I when out of the blue a message popped up on the screen asking if I would consider writing the Papillon breed notes for OUR DOGS. Some of you will already know my background and know that I wrote the DW Papillon Breed notes for many years and readers…
Well, the sun brollies are in use, ice cream a plenty and it has all lasted more than twenty four hours. Now that is something to go on the memory board and rejoice. Of course, this is at the time of writing these breed notes, but let’s stay positive, Mr Sunshine is all set up…
Three Counties at the Malvern Showground is next on the agenda for the Breed Notes. We were not at the show this year and unfortunately no snippets have come through except for the results. As far as I am aware the weather was dry, so hopefully the rings outside could be in use. Much better…
