It's my 10th Birthday today! DOUBLE DIGITS! 🎁🎂🥳 This beautiful picture was taken at the national, ringside with Rudi the Kooikerhondje 🥰 we only entered handling that day so we got to spend the rest of the day helping others (no real results to post about, that's just how some shows go) and chatting, we can't wait to get back out at shows again very soon!

Fastest round trip to Stafford for a dog show ever 🤣 after a very stressful start (the dog we should have been using wasn't available when we arrived!) Abi had all of 7 minutes to practice with beautiful Joy, a three year old Border Terrier. With no time to fine tune Abi and Joy managed to bag 4th out of 8, not bad at all considering the circumstances! Another dog looking at Abi in awe with the waggiest of tails 🐾🥰

Fun morning at UK toy dog championship show 🐾
Started the day off with JHA handling where Abi handled her 16th breed, a handsome Bichon Frisé called 'Cloud'. It was a strong class of 7 and Abi placed 5th 🤩
Then onto Min Pins, none of ours entered today but Abi handled Aggie in a quality Limit class and placed 4th 😍
In YKC handling Abi and Vader worked their socks off to place 3rd in a huge class of 10, bagging £15 for the puppy saving account 👛
We finished the morning off by collecting this beautiful memento for Abi winning her first Challenge Certificate with Aggie, massive thank you to Tracey for getting this made 🥰 and to Dalsetter for making it 😁

Absolutely love this photo 🥰 from the junior handling results from Crufts article in Our dogs. It shows just how much Abi loves her special little man 🐾
Lovely critique to go with it too, thanks to Marina White:
Abigail Twigg, Miniature Pinscher. Absolutely loved the way Abigail could free-stand her dog, bending over from the waist to keep her baiting hands low so the dog looked its best in the free stand. There’s no doubt she has a very bright future in dog showing. Not an easy breed to use for handling but she showed a lot of skill with a difficult breed and had a good rapport with her dog.

The moment Abi won Best Junior Handler in Show on Saturday 🥰

Abi always rewards the dog with a fuss/food before leaving the ring, win or lose. I think this is one of the things that makes her an amazing handler and why the dogs love her so much 😍

30/09/2023

Looooong day at West Bromwich and Wednesbury Canine Society:

Catching up on critiques, one for Abi and Vader from Birmingham National and a lovely photo of them winning special beginner group 4 to go with it 🥰

Bamtybo Dark Lord At Teffys. B&T of lovely size and outline. His eyes are dark and they fit well into his face. Good arched to neck, gentle sloping top line. His front and rear angles are well-balanced and he has an excellent attitude in the ring. BSB.

11/08/2023

So much going on still so catching up again! Two show weekend:

Saturday was an early start for JHA at the hound show where we had a last second change of breed (massive thanks to Vicki Woodcock for saving the day!), Bunny the Ibizan was a little unsure where her mum went so made Abi work hard, however Abi's calm nature got them a very respectable 3rd place 🥰 then we waited for the Basenji classes where Abi ran Heksie and placed second in both the Hound Show and the Basenji Club Show 🤩

On Sunday at Evesham the new dream team Abi and Trix win junior handling class (6-11), first in post grad, reserve best of breed and third in a massive yearling stakes class 🥳 thanks Jo Carless for this quick pic while I was running round making sure we didn't miss any classes 🤣

Many thanks to Victoria Wilkins (Velvetquest) for this wonderful critique for Abi and Seb in the handling classes at Coventry Foleshill:

Abigail Twigg handling a Kooikerhondje. This young handler looked as if she thoroughly enjoyed her time in the ring. Her charge made her really work but Abigail stayed calm and carried out all of my instructions and moved at the correct pace for the dog, showing her charge off on the move. On the initial presentation she stood the dog correctly and shadowed when needed. I just really liked this pair and I know in the future she will be a cracking handler! Well done.

This win was followed by a fantastic Reserve Best AVNSC win in a huge entry for AVNSC utility, many thanks to judge Steve Jones:

Guy’s Gladsheim Eleodoro, Kooikerhondje, very nice head and expression, forelegs straight, well laid shoulders and a strong level back, handled by an excellent young handler, she moved the dog at the correct pace to show very good true movement, it was a joy to watch them both in the ring. Res Best AVNSC.

Long day at Birmingham and District Toy Dog Society but what a great one 🤩 Abi was a busy bee helping on the secretary's table, selling raffle tickets, stewarding and handing out anniversary cake. She somehow still had time to show, handling a Long Coat Chihuahua to Reserve Best of Breed 🥳 a beautiful 4 month old Papillon in the puppy walk (large entry) and was placed third 😍 in miniature pinschers, Agatha had her debut with Abi, placing 2nd in a very strong puppy class 💖 then with Dala Abi got 1st in post graduate 🐾 and 1st in Junior Handling 6-11 🥰

10/12/2022

Fantastic day for Abi at LKA championship show 🤩
Early start with JHA in the main ring at 8:30am but it was worth it as Abi smashed it 🥳 first out of 8 👏🏻
In the breed classes they placed 2nd in post graduate 💖
In Kooikerhondje's it was Neo's turn with Abi today, they were placed third 😍
Fantastic breakfast buffet provided by the JHA and lunch buffet with the Kooiker Clan 🥰 Abi won best dress and the raffle too, thoroughly enjoyed our day 🐾

05/12/2022

Abi practicing with Neo, maybe another Kooikerhondje she will handle soon 🥰 they all seem to love her instantly 🐾

04/12/2022

Lovely day at the British Utility Breeds Association championship show yesterday. Abi was entered in the JHA semi final with super Seb 💕 They placed 4th out of 9 🥳 onto the breed classes and at Abi's first championship show (with Seb) gets placed 3rd in a strong Open Dog class 🎉 super proud of these two as always. Thank you to Mark and Katy for the photos 🥰

12/11/2022

Abi decided she wanted to have a go at teaching the dogs some basic tricks (I've only ever taught them to be show dogs, lol) this was after one session with Dala 🤩

12/11/2022

Many thanks to handling judge Jenny Shorer-Wheeler (Leicester City Open Show), after the YKC training day Abi's corners are much tighter and were working on the interaction between dog and handler:

1. Abigail Twigg handling a Min Pin. A confident young handler who knew what was expected. I would like to see a touch more verbal interaction with your dog and keep practising nice tight corners but a comfortable winner today.

12/11/2022

Critique from West Bromwich show (no photo as it was a double show and I was running all over the place, lol), many thanks to handling judge Keith Groom:

Abigail Twigg - Min Pin. Very attentive of her dog, aware of her position in the ring, moved out very well in a controlled manner.

12/11/2022

Many thanks to handling judge Lisa Marley (Bellili) for this critique and for being so patient with Seb the bait thief 🙈 photo was taken after the crime 🤣

Abigail Twigg aged 8. Abigail was showing a very cheeky Kooikerhondje who at one point did steal all Abigails bait just as she was setting the dog up, this didn’t put Abigail off she was very patient and waited until the dog was relaxed again before resetting the dog. Moved her dog at the correct pace and showed great rapport throughout. Excellent shadow work and worked hard to keep her dog focused.

11/11/2022

28/10/2022

Had a lovely day at the YKC training event 🤩 Abi and Dala practiced handling first and then had a go at Agility (Abi's favourite new activity), Hoopers and Obedience. She enjoyed turning one of the trainer's into a mummy for the team building exercise 🤭 Back again tomorrow for the YKC Crufts handling qualifier 🍀

16/10/2022

Lovely critique for Abi and Dala from Coventry Open Show, any excuse to post this awesome video again 😍 many thanks to Dale Hick: Twiggs Monarkle Fire N’ice at Teffys, 3 ½ year old Min Pin, red, still appeals in size, ticks boxes for compact and sturdy. She has a good head shape and forward facing dark eyes full of character. Good neck and topline with high set tail. Well rounded with enough depth with straight bone in front, although wide enough. Clean rear set up and moved with lift. Handled impeccably by her young handler today.
