Relocating

Just a quick note to say apologies for the lack of updates recently.
Marcasite Poodles HQ is relocating.
I have bought myself a lovely 3 bedroom semi-detached house and am currently in the process of moving in.
The best news, aside from the idyllic sea views that I don't think I'll ever tire of seeing; is that there will be a lot more space for the dogs. I have a fantastic garden for them to play in and there is a nature reserve opposite!

Huge thanks to all of those who have wished us well and sent cards etc. I really do appreciate it.

British Utility Breeds Championship Show

Well, I braved it and did another show!

At 4 am yesterday we set out to Stafford with our friend Marlene Carter of Somanic Poodles and together we all had a fantastic day.

Peggy was entered into minor puppy bitch - a class for female puppies aged 6 - 9 months. I am delighted to report that Peggy won a Very Highly Commended (VHC) certificate; meaning that we came 5th in our class, beating 3 other dogs.
Peggy moved like a dream and stood very nicely for the judge (although she did give her a gentle kiss on the cheek as the judge went over her LOL)
I honestly could not have asked more from my Peggy pup and am so very proud of her.

Of course I was a nervous wreck with a dry mouth and was shaking all over as soon as I entered the ring with Peggy, but perhaps I was slightly less nervous compared to the last time. I'm really hoping that my confidence will improve if I choose to continue showing.

I also had the chance to catch up briefly with Naomi, who owns Edna's half brother Wallace and a stunning white girl called Vivienne, as well as meeting lots of lovely new people too.

Unfortunately there are not many photographs from the day, as I only had my camera phone with me, but below are some of the ones I managed to take.
