CRUFTS!!!
Well it is that time of year again, and the countdown has now begun to Crufts 2010!

Welcome to the UK Selma, Perditas Another Chance for Caldecacre
Such a terrible start to 2010, both with Baby Blizzard and also with more personal, family news. Some things make you realise how precious life actually is, and that it should be lived to the full and for the moment. I would like to take this opportunity to say how much I love and appreciate my fami…
Baby Blizzard!!
As most of you will know, we had resigned ourselves to thinking that there would be no puppies for Blinken and Boo this time. The repeat scan had shown no babies and so when Boo started to get some milk and look more rounded we presumed that she was having a Phantom pregnancy.
I wanted there to be a…
.... and so into 2010!
What a year 2009 has been!

Caldecacre Cerisierre - Ivory - 28/01/2007 - 13/11/2009
It has been a long time since I have updated my Blog.
Some devastating news that left us stunned and heartbroken. I am not often short of words, but simply cannot find words enough to even touch on the loss we and everyone that knew Ivory are feeling. Our thoughts and hearts are with Tracy at this v…
The Crazy Caldecacres visit the Showstorming Schunikkas!
Sadly we had to cancel our previous visit to Josi and John (Schunikka Dalmatians) because all the girls came into season. So when the timing was more appropriate we decided to travel down to Daventry to see them.
After really long walks, we gathered all the Caldecacres together in the van, and made …

A brilliant day for Callum and Blinken. Callum won his J…
Ivory meets her Prince ;-)
The time had come for Ivory to meet her Prince. Tracy was quite emotional about this after waiting for nearly 9 years for her own litter. I offered to be with her when she took Ivory to be mated to Paris (Washakie Nutcracker Prince).
Both Callum and I have been full of cold over the last week or so.…
