Greetings to all and I must start with a correction, Mrs E Minto emailed to say that I had accidentally swapped her dogs around in the final results, that I listed for Crufts this year. Instead of Best Bitch and Best Puppy being Anacan We Got The Power it should have been Anacan Rock My…
Ahhh and that’s that for another year. Crufts, the biggest dog show of the UK calendar has been and gone. We build ourselves up to it, we prepare our dogs, ourselves and chose the outfit with excitement. We book a hotel, drives for hours, get to the NEC, load the trolley, lug all the equipment…
Welcome to 2023 and lots to catch up on. Our puppies have started to travel to their new homes. Some here and some travelling abroad. Most of the time we take the pups to their new homes or the new owners come to collect them. The time travelling back with the family members can be…

Sadly, due to a number of reasons we were unable to make the last show of the year, BUBA at Stafford on Sat 4th Dec, apologies to Chris Quantrill. With our three entries absent, there were still six dogs present. The final results were Mrs Mintos, Anacan Invincible Best Dog and Best of Breed, Reserve…
Welcome to Winter, we are in no doubt that the seasons are certainly now embracing more wintery times. The change of the clocks is now very obvious, darkness has settled upon us by 1615. Storm Arwen gave most of us a battering, leaving huge piles of leaves now needing collecting but until that’s done the…
Greetings, Autumn is definitely with us now, with a drop in temperature and piles of golden leaves for the dogs to dash through on our walks. With most shows now having caught up a little, for us there is a slight lull in news. The Nordic Open Show at Ryton on Dunsmore is our next…
Hello dear readers, here we are back on track and as promised previously I have results and information from America on The Morris and Essex Dog Show. Geraldine R Dodge was the youngest daughter of William Avery Rockerfeller Jnr and when she married Marcellus Dodge, they we considered the wealthiest newlywed couple in the country….
Good morning to all. Apologies for the gap and this short missive. This week is just a short update as to the upcoming shows with Canaan Dog Classes. Not always the best place to meet the breed but its always nice to chat about our dogs (pun intended) if you fancy a ‘meet and greet’….
Hello to all Canaan followers. When exhibiting a rare breed with, perhaps, not the best reputation in the showing fraternity, positive feed back is always welcomed. It was truly wonderful to speak to Sue Dykes again at the Scottish Kennel Club. She has judged the breed twice in recent years and has first-hand experience of…
For the first time we ventured north, north and further north in the Autumnal weather. The Scottish Kennel Club were holding their postponed May Championship Show back-to-back with their usual October Show. Canaan Dogs are only scheduled classes for the May show. Our judge was A3 list (non specialist) Mr Keith Nathan. All four entries…
Hello dear readers. This weekend saw another show that still scheduled Canaan Dog classes – the National Dog Show at Stafford County Show Ground. As at Paignton it was split between inside halls and outside rings with tents although no benching. We made two journeys, firstly for Gundog Day with my sister’s Portuguese Pointer –…
