While promoting the Schipperke breed on the breed stand at the Discover Dogs area i (Karen) was asked if i would liked t0 make a short film about the breed. Of course i agreed as any publicity for this wonderful breed is not a bad thing and i was proud to have been asked to do it.

Amazing!! Ristine Gold Pandora aka Dora has had a feature put in to print looking back at the history of her pedigree. It is a very interesting insight into her ancestry. The feature has been printed in the publication "Schip Tales International" dated 15th May 2020. It can be purchased through Amerson as a one off subscription.
We are very proud to have been asked to allow this feature to happen.
Many thanks to Dawn Bannister for her research and the putting together of this article. It is a very interesting read.

2020 OMG! Where do we start! What a day we had at Crufts this year (2020)! Ridgebrook makes TV debut!!
It all started with an email we received a week before Crufts! The email , headed "Filming for Crufts", said the following-
" We're contacting you because Channel 4 would like to photograph and film some breeds with the Crufts light in the background, this will be shown before and after the advert breaks during the TV show.
Would you be available with your SCHIPPERKE at 8.30am on the day of exhibiting (THURSDAY)?"
Well of course we said yes. What an honour to be asked to represent your breed on TV and by Channel 4 no less for the world to see!
Below is a video of what was filmed
