Latest News25 February 2010 Here are a couple of photos taken on 28th January at the Pup of the Year competition. Oh what fun we had! We had a fab day, such a prestigious event to have qualified for. It was my 2nd year on qualifying, last year it was Tippi there and this time Dixie Dean. Dixie was a true super star - he so enjoyed himself and was so on his toes. We were shortlisted in such stong competition. My dear freind, Rachel, joined me on this special day, and we both had a fabulous day. It was held at Ragley Hall and the surrounding grounds were absolutely stunning. A day I wont forget in a hurry. Thank you to all the people for their lovely comments on Dixie. Also many thanks to PURINA and DOG WORLD for a fabulous day and all the lovley goodies we recieved.
31 January 2010 On 28th January we went off to the Pup of the Year finals with Dixie Dean, which as you know is for the elite few. We are only the 4th Shar Pei to qualify for this, and only the 2nd Shar Pei to get shortlisted, so as you can imagine I am one happy lady and so proud of my boy. So many lovely comments from many a future judge, so I am looking forward to the forth coming shows.

Frazer was the Top Shar Pei 2008, See www.kolnago.co.uk to view Frazer and the Kolnago stock. We are so, so excited as they both carry fabulous bloodlines in health, temperament and type. Reds/red fawn brushcoats expected from this very exciting litter. Show and pet homes, but most important is that they are loved as part of the family.

What a fabulous day Tippi, my friend Andi and I had. No expense spared, we were welcomed by the Purina reps and received a welcome pack and the benches were all kitted out with your dog’s name above it, a lovely Purina Pro Plan doggie duvet, \ large sack of puppy food, dog world goodies, etc. The competition went ahead in a wonderful venue, with a lovely carpeted arena all lit up with spotlights, etc., so when you had to exhibit your pup you were all lit up. Tippi performed like a true star, she wasn’t fazed by anything and she showed her socks off. After the competition we had free drinks from the bar, then on to a lovely four course meal.WOW! It was a truly memorable day and I will never forget it for sure. Maybe one day I will get the chance to qualify for this prestigious event again. Thank you to Purina/Dog World for a fantastic experience. 9th January 2009
