Happy 1st Birthday to my darling Nellie “Jelly Baby”. …. I have loved you from that first “¡Hola!” that first cuddle, and what a journey we have been on these past eight months.
I thank José Hellín for entrusting me with loving you so. And to Lisa Parker for turning you out so beautifully for show, for her occasional handling, for loving you, and for keeping me in check with the chunkers!!!
From your first show at BUBA, a baptism of fire, under Judge and breed specialist Beccie Woods, being awarded a 1st and qualification for Crufts 2026;
🐾 to your 1st in Class at Crufts 2026 under Judge and breed specialist Caroline Wareing;
🐾 to your Reserve CC at The Schnauzer Club of Great Britain Championship Show under Judge and breed specialist Peter Bradshaw;
🐾 to your Challenge Certificate from Scottish Utility Breeds Championship Show under Judge and breed specialist Andrea Holland.
🐾 To your holding Our Dogs Best Puppy in Breed in the UK for a number of months:
🐾 to your obtaining your Stud Book Number and Qualification to Crufts for Life:
🐾 to your Best Puppy in Breed at both Isle of Ely and Herts & Essex Open Shows; and
🐾 to the 10 first places, 6 second places, 7 third places, 2 reserves, and 1 VHC,
to the many miles, the many smiles, the odd tear, and all the fun we have had. I thank you darling girl you bring such joy, you brighten my world. And you have most certainly lived up to your name Dando Guerra del Badulake with Wallensis, achieving so much with so many firsts for a white in breed here in the UK, of which I am so immensely proud.
You bring many an adventure, and long may it continue. I look forward to the year ahead whatever it may hold…. Happy 1st Birthday darling girl. 💜🐾💕
