Lottie came to us from Pat Munn on 3rd April, 2015, at 7 months old, and we took her to her first show, the Papillon Club Championship Show, just over 2 weeks later, where she showed really well, and gained a 2nd place in both Minor Puppy Bitch and Maiden Bitch, under judge Mrs Amanda Bruce-Jackson (Tijuana).

 

While in puppy, Lottie won several puppy classes at Championship Shows, including winning Best Puppy Bitch at Paignton, and Best Puppy in Breed at both Bournemouth and Welsh Kennel.  She continued her winning ways into Junior winning many classes at Open Shows, but just missed her Junior Warrant by 2 points.

 

During 2016, Lottie was only not placed twice at Championship Shows, she won the Post Graduate Bitch class 3 times.  She won Reserve Best Bitch at the Papillon Club Open Show in July, under Kevin Arrowsmith (Rozamie / Arrowbien), and won 2 Best of Breeds at General Open Shows, once at Ilfracombe & District Canine Society under Mr Sean Corrigan (Catdanse), and the other one was at Stithians Agricultural Show under Mrs A Phillips (Jansclan).

 

During 2017, Lottie has been placed in all her classes at Championship Shows, including winning Post Graduate bitch 4 times, and Limit Bitch 4 times, she also won the Reserve CC under Andrew Brace.  At Open Shows, she has won 13 Best of Breeds, and won the Toy Group twice, the first time was at Exeter & County Canine Society under Carol Marsden, and the second time was at Blackwood & District Canine Society under Angie Aylett (Angcherish Chihuahua's).  She also won her Show Certificate of Merit, and has qualified for Top Dog of Devon & Top Dog of South Wales.

 

Lottie has had a great 2018.  She won her 2nd RCC at Richmond Championship Show under Albert Easdon, and her first CC at the Ladies Kennel Association Championship Show under Lorraine Gillhespy.  She also won Reserve Best Bitch at South Wales Papillon Club Open Show under Evan Ryan, and Best Bitch & Reserve Best in Show at the Papillon Club Open Show under Doug Johnston.  At general Open Shows, she has won 11 Best of Breeds, and won the Toy Group twice, the first time at Exonian Canine Association under Claire Champion, and the second time at Liskeard & District Canine Association under Jane Paradise.  She won 20 points towards her Show Certificate of Excellence, and has again qualified for Top Dog of Devon.

 

2019 was another great year for Lottie, where she won her 2nd CC under Mrs Liz Stannard, at the Welsh Kennel Club Championship Show.  She also won Best Bitch and Best Opposite Sex at South Wales Papillon Club Open Show under Mrs Michelle Osborne (Tykkydewas).  At the general Open Shows, she has won 12 Best of Breeds, won the Toy Group at Wiveliscombe & District Canine Society, under Mr Robert Fitzgerald, and won Reserve Best of Breed in Show at Plymouth & District Canine Society, under Mr Paul Wilkinson.  She won another 25 points towards her Show Certificate of Excellence, and qualified for Top Dog of Avon & Somerset.

Thanks to all the judges for thinking so highly of Lottie, and I hope in 2020, she gets her 3rd CC, and her final points towards her Show Certificate of Excellence.

​

In 2021, after we were finally allowed to show again after the Lockdown's Lottie, won her final points to gain her Show Certificate of Excellence.  Since she became a veteran in August, she has won 1 Best Veteran in Breed at Birmingham National, 1 Best Veteran in Show at the Joint Papillon Clubs Championship Show, and won the Veteran Group at Minehead & District Canine.
