Our thanks to regular client Julia for sending the following update and photo which made us smile.

“I came down this morning to the usual wildly joyful greeting. While I was clearing up last night’s offerings, one puppy got a large clip off the bag of puppy food, and then this melée happened.  I thought you might be amused to see it.
Best wishes,

Julia”

I just wanted to take time to send you an email to let you know how impressed I am with your dog food. Our black lab Pippin is 4 and has always had a tummy issue, we tried absolutely everything. She looked in good condition, happy and fit but her tummy was obviously not right.

We then tried INVEST ‘N’ DIGEST SALMON

And my goodness WHAT A DIFFERENCE! Finally she has ‘normal’ stools, which are easy to pick up, and she’s happy and smiling and so am I! So Pippin and I wanted to thank you!                                          I sing your praises to everyone who will listen!

Penny

Thank you so much for the feedback Penny and for sending the lovely photo of Pippin.

Our thanks to Chapel Farm Sponsored Agility Handler Katie Lines for the following update.

You may recall I’d said that that my goal for 2024 season was to get Bailey to Championship level and to qualify for Crufts.. well I am absolutely delighted to confirm that we’ve done BOTH!

Crufts 2025 Agility here we come!!!! I won a Crufts Agility class with my now retired boy, Archie, in 2018 and it has been my dream to get there again with Bailey (who was Archie’s apprentice ha!) to see him on the famous green carpet..! How thrilled am I to say that we have qualified!

So now the busy Crufts prep period begins but I just know that we will go and enjoy every minute!

I would just like to take a moment to say a massive THANK YOU to the Buccleuch team at Chapel Farm for taking the chance on not only a younger handler, but for also supporting the world of Agility.

I have mentioned before but I’ll say it again, Chapel Farm 24+ made a significant difference in Bailey’s performance across 2024’s season – with quick recovery times and high energy. I feel this was reflected in his haul of winnings.

Thank you for the update Katie and our Best Wishes to you and Bailey at Crufts
