What an absolute pleasure it was pampering these three Chinese Crested show dogs- two Powderpuffs and a Hairless. Princess, Ciara & Dexter were so well behaved, so playful and affectionate 💕. Thanks so much to their owner Ida who gave us a lesson on how they should be correctly groomed for the show ring. We love learning about these unusual breeds so it was great fun altogether 😃

What a great weekend we had at the Dublin Pet Expo 🤩 I was there promoting the West Highland White Terrier alongside Marie Hogarty who was representing her breed - the Cairn Terrier ❤️
Ms Capri is in heat so had to stay home which was a little sad but Cobi was happy to come along to strut his cuteness and was so super friendly with everyone who came up to pet him ❤️
Carson the Poodleman sort of stole the show on the Saturday so had to stay home on the Sunday so I could concentrate on the reason I was there 😝
Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello, especially our current and past students. I was bursting with joy for you guys when you were telling me how much you were enjoying your new career and businesses.
Huge thanks to Marie for offering to share the stand because I defo would have been a bit lonely on my own ☺️
Massive thank you to Rachel for her company and fabulous assistance on the Sunday… so great to see you and share many a laugh as we always do 😆
If you saw us and liked my lil Westie and would like one of your own please get in contact and I’ll put you in touch with reputable breeders ❤️
P.S: did you see my earrings?!!!!!! 🙌😆

Congratulations to Cathy’s 9 month old male West Highland White Terrier… 𝒁𝒂𝒄𝒌𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝑺𝒊𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒓 𝑰𝒏 𝑺𝒊𝒍𝒌 (Cobi) ❤️ who on Saturday gained his 11th Green Star and 5th Best of Breed title 🥳
His girlfriend 20 month old 𝑰𝒓 𝑪𝑯 𝒁𝒂𝒄𝒌𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝑮𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒓𝒐𝒔𝒂 𝑪𝑱𝑾24, 𝑪𝑾24 (Capri) to date has won 14 Green Stars and 13 Best of Breed titles 🥳
Dog showing is such a fun hobby and one I used to think I wouldn’t enjoy until I began showing Capri in the summer of 2023. I like to keep busy and I’m my happiest when hanging out with my dogs and like minded people.
Dog showing which dates back to the 1850’s is an exciting competitive activity where dogs compete against each other for awards. It is a competition where a dog’s attributes and confirmation are compared against a breed standard for its breed.
There are various types of shows with some more serious than others. Anyone can show a dog (child or adult). If dog showing is something you would be interested in and wish to know more about you can contact the or please don’t hesitate to ask and I’ll try help in anyway I can… thanks, Cathy 💕

With recent research done by the Kennel Club I would like to take this opportunity to try to help you make the right choice when choosing a puppy.
The Kennel Club has confirmed 3 out of 10 puppies die before their first birthday. Many more develop health and behavioural issues which result in expensive vet/ training bills or lead to the puppy being dumped at a shelter. The puppies in question came from puppy farms or illegitimate backyard breeders.
How do I know this? A reputable breeder will ALWAYS tell you to give the puppy/ dog back to them if there was a problem or an unforeseen circumstance occurred where you could no longer care for them.
It can be very difficult for some to tell whether the breeder they are choosing is a reputable one. I’ve complied a list of questions to ask them. Please be vigilant. Rogue breeders earn a lot of money so they will go to extreme lengths to pull the wool over your eyes.
GOOD SIGNS TO WATCH OUT FOR:
✅ They ask you a lot of questions about why you want the puppy/ why you choose their breed/ what you plan to feed the puppy/ where they will sleep/ how much exercise do you plan to give them etc
✅ They are honest with you about the amount of exercise the breed will need/ what to feed them/ how to maintain their health/ how to take care of their coat/ how often they should visit the groomer
✅ They are happy to discuss the health and breeding lines of the parents and even better if they can show you health test results to show the parents are healthy. Dogs with problems will pass them onto their pups. Such tests include but are not limited to…..
⚠️DNA Testing
⚠️Elbow Dysplasia Screening
⚠️Eye Screening
⚠️Heart Screening
⚠️Hip Dysplasia Screening
⚠️Respiratory Function Grading
✅ They ask you to keep in touch and let them know how the pup is getting on and to contact them should you need any further advice.
I know a lot of reputable breeders so feel free to contact me if there is a certain breed you are interested in ❤️

Great results yesterday from the Northern Ireland Association Terrier Champ Show with amazing weather and craic with friends 💃🕺🐾

Ir CH Zackshine Glenrosa was awarded a Green Star and Reserve BOB

Zackshine Sinner In Silk was awarded a Green Star, BOB and 2nd Best Puppy In Show

Thank you to terrier specialist Robyn Price Killeen for thinking so highly of them 🥰

I am incredibly grateful to Ken Crockett for sharing his wisdom and guidance on how to correct my grooming of the WHWT. I just hope going forward I can remember and put into practice what he told me 😝. You can see from the attached photos how much better they look after he worked on them. The shaping is far better and more true to breed standard 🤩

Thank you to Linda Moran Harte for handling Capri for the BOB judging. Also a big thank you to all of Team Havasu for your hospitality and support ❤️
