We finally made it to the Canine Fanciers show over the weekend. I was so proud of how Piper handled herself, she was a little unsure about the big noisy dogs but loved every person she met and did everything I asked of her in the ring.

Piper went Baby of Breed at her first show! 🏆

We had the gorgeous baby Daisy visit for another groom today. She did amazing of course! Her lovely owner Kate has picked up where we left off by grooming her at home so she is totally accustomed to it already ❤️

This little girl will always hold a huge place in our heart - Siesta has grown so much, is doing so well and is so very loved with her family. Look at how far she’s come! 💕

It was take your dog to work day (haha not really) but Spice did come with me to work to begin her health testing, starting with hips and elbow scoring as well as her dna swab. Hoping for some good results in the coming weeks ❤️

Miss Daisy came for a visit and a little groom! It was so cute to see that she remembered me and our place. She’s grown so much! 🩷

While we had planned to take Piper to her first show over the weekend, it was unfortunately cancelled so we will have to wait a bit longer for that. Instead we visited our local Obedience club for some puppy socialising and show training 🐾

We have another guest staying with us this week - beautiful baby Gnomo! He only left the nest a month ago and has grown so much since then. He is enjoying playing with his sister and mum but I know he can’t wait to see his paw-rents again soon! 🖤🐾

Little Miss Piper had her last vaccinations this morning so now she’s ready to take on the world! 🌎

We’ve been practicing and getting ready for her first show coming up 🖤

The genes are strong! 💪🏼 I received this adorable picture update of little Siesta and doesn’t she look so much like her great grandmother Squeak! Their ears even match! 🩷

Thanks to for sharing the photos of Squeak with us and for pointing out that they are twinning! x

We had our old friend, Hudson staying with us the last couple of weeks and it was like he never left. He made himself right at home and back in charge of all the other dogs! He’s starting to show his age a little bit now but is still such a sweet boy 🖤
