6th February 2012 - After a very busy weekend, I am pleased to announce that we now have two Caldecacres learning German. 

Caldecacre Sea of Roses (Rose) has settled in very well with Jeany and Jojo Brehme at Kennel de los Perros Santos, in Scheden (see below). And now Pebbles' sister, Caldecacre Congeniality (Wilma) has joined Silke Zander at Kennel vom Justinahof, in Julich . We hope to visit you both real soon :)

28th January 2012 - Today Rose (Caldecacre Sea of Roses) attended her very first show at just 6 months old. She went to 'Festival der Rassehunde Castrop-Rauxel with her family. We were amazed at the news that not only had she been such a good girl and had lots of fun in the show ring, but that she had also won BEST PUPPY!! Wow!! Well Done Rose, and also well done to her new kennel mate Lola (Toots Fairytale) who went BIS!! What a great day for kennel 'de Los Perros Santos' :)

24th January 2012 - Well it certainly has been a while since I updated this page, and so there is so much news!
We have new additions to the family! Potter (Caldecacre Shiver M'Timbers) is from my Shiloh x Selma litter born July last year and he is maturing really well.
His sister Indie (Caldecacre Sea the Stars) has gone to live with her Sire and will be shown by Amber, whilst another sister Daisy (Caldecacre Swab the Decks) and brother Zemolo (Caldecacre Sharknozemolo) will also be shown and all will make their Debut at the Joint Clubs Show in February. Another sister Rose (Caldecacre Sea of Roses) has traveled to a far and distant land and is happily settling in with her lovely new family in Germany at kennel 'de los Perros Santos' and in exchange we now have a fantastic new girl, Ruby (Be a Star de los Perros Santos)  ;-)

Be a Star de los Perros Santos has joined us from Germany :)

What a FANTASTIC day at SKC under Brenda Rance (Olbero) where Blinken won his Stud Book Number by being 3rd Open Dog, being placed above some lovely Champions. His progeny did well too, Shulune Ice Phantom of Dalamanti was 2nd Junior Dog, Shulune Fantasy Snapdragon was 2nd Yearling Bitch, Shulune Ice Fantasy was 3rd Junior Bitch and not forgetting Caldecacre Charisma (Pebbles) 3rd Puppy Bitch. Also Caldecacre Couronne under Charmindals was 2nd Limit Bitch and Celsie von Schunikka was Res Post Grad Bitch, such great results, well done everyone :)

This year's camping trip to Wales was just as much fun as previous years'! This year we had a grand total of 19 Dalmatians, 2 French Bulldogs and Bart the Terrier altogether over the weekend. Fantastic time spent with friends, lovely walks, and Countryside, lots of BBQs and great food, wine, Pimms and even Champagne (Thanks Lester!). Plus a Champ Show to top it all. We had so much fun :)

Pebbles (Caldecacre Charisma) has started well in the show rings, and enjoys herself very much. She is now Qualified for Crufts 2012 as is her lovely litter brother Jude (Caldecacre Callin' Hey Jude)
 

Fantastic news from the Ukraine - Blinken's daughter, Gwynmor Deri Di, becomes Russian & Ukraine & Moldavia & Balkan Junior Champion!!

Congratulations to her breeders - Rhys & Annemiek, and her owners Tanya & Pavel, Blinken and I are VERY proud :))

A wonderful CRUFTS as always :)
A lovely weekend with special friends started with us staying with Josi and John and the Schunikka Dalmatians, wonderful company, food and wine, thankyou :))
Some great results for Team Caldecacre and 'Family' with three 2nds, and two Reserves, Well Done everyone!!
Fantastic meeting up with so many friends from here and abroad, and special kisses from my favourite Frenchman! ;-)
Then to round off a great weekend Michelle and some of the Shulune gang came to stay here at Caldecacre to Celebrate all the fantastic placings for both kennels and some for the two combined!!
