Winter 2017 and Spring 2018

The Winter and the Spring were filled with shows, travel, long trips and short trips – and the hunt for a new house.  The dogs and I have moved out of the flat in Leiden (with the upstairs neighbour who really enjoyed making our life difficult) – and have found a house in Zeeland with a lovely enclosed back patio garden which is our very own.  We still have our holiday house and field in Czechia and all in all we have had quite the last six months.  We spent almost four months on the move in the van, hotels and Czechia whilst we sorted out our “new” house in Holland, built in 1881.  In between, we did a lot of shows in Belgium and Holland, the Winter Classic in Zagreb, Croatia and Crufts in the UK.  Highlights were Peony 3x BOB in Zagreb and then Luxembourg Champion, Makar 2x BOB in Belgium and JBISS-2 in Zagreb, Belle being Best Opposite Sex, Luxembourg Junior Champion and Crufts Qualified at the Luxembourg Spring CACIB Show.  We had quite a lot of success in the ring which helped keep us buoyant when the Homefront wasn’t in place.

Now that we have Wifi again, TV again, a BED of our own for the dogs to share again – life will return to normal and we will also start updating the website again!  Here are the dogs enjoying the new patio garden at our 1881 house.

And here are some photos of Makar, Belle and Peony at our shows since October 2017.
