Katy – A new MadinCrowd Champion!

We are thrilled to announce that Katy, Madincrowd Mercy Chant, won her third Challenge Certificate on 17 June 2021 at National Working & Pastoral Breeds Championship Show and, subject to Kennel Club approval, this win will make her a Champion.

Katy’s elder sister, Dora (our Madincrowd Bathsheba JW) won the Reserve Challenge Certificate and also Best Veteran – her first foray into a Veteran Class now she is 7!  Our grateful thanks to our judge, Maggy Jones, for thinking so highly of our dogs.  It was such a hot day and all the dogs did so well in the heat.

Dora – Best Veteran!

Puppy videos

We have added a link to our MadinCrowd Facebook page and YouTube channel – these can be found on the sidebar to the right or by clicking on the links in this post.

Puppy videos are updated regularly to our YouTube channel so that you can see how the puppies are progressing and we use the Facebook page to put snippets of what we do with our dogs as well.

Do hope you enjoy the posts!

 

 

New kid on the block!

We are thrilled to announce that we will be keeping one of Dora‘s puppies – Toby, aka Madincrowd Edred.

He is a delightful little dog and is already getting the hang of charging through the tunnel in the garden.  Puppy agility has started and he will do anything to get hold of his sheepskin tuggy!

 

 

Puppy Tea Party

Whilst we still had all the puppies together we decided to have our usual Tea Party as its a wonderful get together and great way to get puppies socialised and to meet children of all ages.

Saturday 1 June was a lovely sunny day for a tea party in the garden with puppies and children taking centre stage!

Friends brought their children and cake, we made the tea and squash – it was great fun and the puppies loved all the fuss and attention.

Well Done Boris!

Boris, Madincrowd Gabriel, has done it again!  He was Best of Breed at the National Working & Pastoral Breed Championship Show which took place at Malvern on Saturday 13 July 2019.

By winning at this show, Boris has qualified to represent Lancashire Heelers in the Vulnerable Native Breeds Competition  which takes place at Crufts 2020.

We are all so proud of him and thank you to Lynn for showing him so beautifully – we will be there rooting for you!

Burghley Game Fair 2019

Stephen took Bilbo & Pickle up to Burghley for the Living Heritage Game & Country Fair on the last May Bank Holiday weekend.  He met up with son David and family who brought along their campervan.  I stayed at home with Dora and the puppies and had various friends staying or visiting so it was good for Stephen to have the company and help!

Our thanks also go to Carole Beaumont, her husband and Ella for helping out on the stand on the Sunday and also to Vanessa, Dom and Tweed for joining Stephen on the Monday.

Our grandsons had a wonderful time trying out all the hunting and shooting activities, as well as taking the dogs around the agility course and helping out on the stand!
