A weekend of fun was had: two Corgi Champ show, laughing and chatting with lots of people and camping with my good friend, 4 dogs in my small campervan. Such Fun!

We where lucky enough to have a 1:1 session with Michael Craig of Highflyer show dog Handling.

Happy Christmas from all of us. As we gear up for another year of adorable small corgi antics, we wanted to take a moment to wish you all a happy holiday season and a prosperous 2023! May your days be filled with joy, laughter, and lots of glitter (if you know, you know it’s a corgi thing!).

Barney aka BrownieGlen’s Bwbachod (left) made a staring appearance at this month Kennel Club’s Discover Dog exhibition in London. His owner Kevin Egan was interviewed by The Guardian’s Tim Dowling “Health, intelligence and temperament are my three sort of keynotes,” says Egan. Corgis are obedient when well-trained, but their natural intelligence can make them prone to mischief. “They have the IQ of a five-year-old child, apparently,” says Egan. “If you don’t train your corgi, your corgi will train you.” As we speak on the phone, all three of Egan dogs begin to bark simultaneously because the clock has just gone four, and they know it’s feeding time.” Full article click here

Doris’s Gotcha day on what would have been my Nanny’s Birthday.

Referred to Daleabbey Kennel and the wonderful Louise Hill and beautiful Phoebe and her 10 puppies.

Emma lost 2 amazing ladies to lung cancer with six months of each other, her Nanny (Doris) and mother-in-law. This made her realise that life is short, and she started my journey to add a dog to their family.
