Hi from Burghley and our pink carpet! It has been a crazy show hence a late post from us. I ended up building the show stand in my own in Wednesday as one of our team had an emergency and was called home unexpectedly so Jenny had to drive down and save the day on Thursday. Our WiFi has finally been installed properly so we can now get online thank goodness! Hope you’re having a fab weekend!

Rays first time directing a studio shoot with the boys modelling. The boys were resigned to being bossed by Ray, and then Ray fired Brutus half way through the shoot. She got the job done though. New Faux-Fur in Grey Taupe and a lovely new Rattan Dog Basket now on our website :-) They are coming with us to Defender Burghley Horse Trials! 🤩

It's Defender Burghley Horse Trials this week and we're doing a million last minute jobs to get ready to head down tomorrow. This video was filmed in 2019 - can't believe it was 6 years ago. Look at my hair 🤣 So excited that we'll be catching up with so many Burghley friends in a couple of days!

PINK CARPET UPDATE ... it will be staying for this year at least! We decided not to make the change but will endeavour to look for a similar hot pink, more eco-friendly alternative for next year ❤

Dear everyone,

I hope you all had a very nice bank holiday weekend. This is me having a rest with Theo and Brutus. We had to wake up at 4 am because we had two shows today and I decided to monkey about a bit because it was my last time competing in the puppy classes because it’s my birthday this week and I will be one year old and I will move into Junior classes. I’m nearly a grown up.

Anyway, my human says she is very proud of me because I won Best Puppy in Breed at both shows but to be fair there were no puppies at the second show. It was a nice way to end my puppy career.

Brutus did a good job today as well. He won his 25th CC and the human is very proud of him too.

Theo mainly supervised and gave us a pep talk before we went into the ring. He’s quite bossy even though he’s an old man.

The best bit of today though was that the humans had a picnic and they shared their sausage rolls with us. They were like little bites of heaven!

Little stinkster Theo has had a bit of a day. He had two yucky cysts removed today but because he has a funky heart, the surgery was done by lovely Jess with Theo heavily sedated and high as a kite instead of a GA. Thank you to Jess, Av and the rest of the team at Regan Veterinary Group for taking such good care of my little man. 🙏 ❤️ 🙏 Back at the office now and he has just trotted in as though nothing happened ❤️

Hi everyone, I'm Heidi. I have done a week's work experince at Charley Chau this week, and today is my last day! I just want to share the work I have completed. I have created a new collection of toys, treats and chews on the Charley Chau website, full of yummy and fun things, which will also be on the Charley Chau stand at Burghley! Please take a look: https://www.charleychau.com/collections/dog-treats-chews-toys

I'm also hoping to be at Burghley for one day so I hope I meet some of you there.❤

Burghley prep is well underway and a rather exciting delivery arrived today from Green & Wild's full of delicious treats and some fabulously fun toys. Ray was very keen to help with unpacking the delivery! 🤣❤️🤣

Talking of Burghley ... we're seriously considering retiring our pink carpet even though we love it. We're thinking about a more environmentally friendly coir carpet that can be power washed and re-used. Here's a very rough mock up (my amateur Photoshop skills) of the stand with an approximation of a coir floor - a lighter tone and a darker tone. The coir is definitely less eye catching than the pink, and some products are lost on the coir (like the Raised Rattan Bed under the table) but we can deal with that with strategically placed rugs. What are your thoughts?

Still on the trip down memory lane, celebrating 15 years of Charley Chau. This was our first ever show stand at Defender Burghley Horse Trials back in 2013! We've started prepping now in earnest for 2025. We have no idea how we got a stand at Burghley as we subsequently found out that the waiting list was / is huge and it's hard to get in. And to be offered the spot on Avenue A where we still are today was apparently unheard of. A lot of exhibitors around us were very bemused when we rocked up and told them we designed dog beds 🤣 It's so funny looking back at our stand build from years gone by - so many products and fabrics that we no longer carry but will always be so fond of! We turned up in 2013 at Burghley in a transit van and set up our tent behind the stand (no longer allowed) and we were so tired after the first day that even though there was a huge party going on at Dubarry with the sound system booming after hours, we just passed out in our sleeping bags and slept right the way through til the next morning even though it was pouring with rain hammering the tent all night!
