Some of the colours that a mantle x harlequin mating can produce.




















  Not forgetting any throw backs from 10-20 generations ago. Do bare this in mind now.

Annandale Canine Society

Open Show 
at Halcrow Stadium
in Gretna

In AVNSC Working Puppy 
3rd place for Culseandanes Loki Mischief 





In JH for the heats for Scottish Handler of Year
Al came fourth out of a strong class of 6 with Loki once again. 
All competing got a wee medal for entering,
which I thought was a nice touch for the kids at any age. 

In the fun class run by Middlebie and Waterbreck Dog Training 
Al took in a Papillon called Jack and gained a 5th place. 


A really nice show at Annandale and I shall be attending again with Al hopefully it will be a bit cooler as we had to wet Loki feet a lot or drook him too but he took it all in his stride bless him.

Stacking your dog

Well a Great Dane that is. 



Turning round to go into a stance. Make sure you have enough space for this.  If in the show ring and you feel your huddled ask to go last or ask your fellow exhibitor to move back a bit. 

collar around neck 

check front legs

collar and lead up high 






Check back legs 



Double check all legs 




Stand tall with your dog.
