Welcome – we have sadly had to miss another show as we were unable to attend Darlington Champ Show this last weekend. We also missed catching up with Julie Kelly and her Raven (Anacan Raven) and are delighted that she has attended a show again. Results are as follows (all owned by Mrs E Minto…

We have our slight gap in show results for Canaan Dogs and have no news from others about any events they have attended. We have Discover Dogs on the horizon, something I have loved to attend in the past. With our dogs on the stand and also to just visit and see what’s new in…

Well, those early bank holiday deadlines did for me again and I missed last week. I can now officially still blame covid on my brain fog, along with being asleep by tea time most days. I think the thing that has hit the headlines most in my showing world this week, was the declaration from…

Many years ago, in the early days of exhibiting Canaan Dogs, there was no import register as there is now, so the first people saw of breed was in the Any Variety Not Separately Classified classes at open and championship shows.

Another wonderful weekend has passed and this weekend we attended Bournemouth Canine Association Championship Show. It has been some years since we went to this show and the venue was new to us.

Good morning, another Champ show has been and gone. It really is beginning to feel as if our hobby is getting back on its feet. What I think is almost unanimous from those exhibiting in the sunshine is, they like the more relaxed party feel without the benching. Only time will tell if we in…

Social media is abuzz with chatter about Southern Counties Champ Show. Some saying no distancing and masks, judges looking at teeth etc and others saying get over it. Something we all seem to be in agreement with is…. Hurrah we are back at a dog show. Whatever your view about the pros and cons, most…

Greetings fellow Canaan followers. How do I start this… After beginning to recover from Covid my progress slowed to nothing. I was diagnosed with Long Covid, something I was very sceptical about until I found I still could not stay awake for more than a few hours at a time, even unloading the dishwasher was…
