Chandi and I had an amazing time at the premiere of ‘Cats and Dogs 2 – The Revenge of Kitty Galore’. The open air theatre in Holland Park was amazing, and we were so well looked after by Concorde media, for which we are very grateful!

Chandi and I had an amazing time on the  Britain’s Got Talent Live Tour – we played venues up and down the country including, The Edinburgh Playhouse, Wembley and The 02 Arena! We loved meeting all our wonderful fans and appreciate your support so much!

On tour at the 02 Arena.

Chandi and I were very privileged to meet the legend that is Jayne Torvill while we were at the 02 – we used Torvill and Dean’s Mack and Mabel routine as the inspiration for our Crufts 2007 routine – I can’t believe I got to meet Jayne and tell her just that!

****Just want to say a special ‘hello’ to a very special little girl I met yesterday. Her name is Charlotte and it was a privilege to meet her and hear all about her dogs – especially Treacle – together they won first place at a show for their dancing! Good work! You go girls! XXXXX *******

Winning our Britain's Got Talent semi final.

*************Thank you so much to everyone that voted for Chandi and I during Britain’s Got Talent – I am so grateful for your support, and overwhelmed and humbled by the amazing things you are saying about my beautiful girl! We won our semi final with a staggering 58.1% of the public vote, which put us in second place going into the Final. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and there are some exciting things in the pipeline for both of us as a result.

*********************************************************************

Chandi is a world class HTM and Freestyle dog – hard to imagine that I found her in a council dog pound when she was only 4 months old!

********STOP PRESS: Chandi and I won all three HTM and Freestyle Finals at Crufts 2009, making Chandi the only dog to have won all three Finals at the same Crufts. In fact Chandi is the only dog to have won both HTM and Freestyle Finals  either at the same Crufts or in different years. In total, Chandi and I have won four Crufts Finals, two more than any other dog!**********

Winning the International Freestyle competition on the final day!

There are videos of us performing winning routines on the ‘Canine Freestyle’ page,  the ‘Heelwork to Music/Dressage’ page, and the Crufts 2009 page. 

My new Freestyle Training Manual is also for sale via this site. It is suitable for beginners through to advanced   – full details on the relevant page.

Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to leave such wonderful comments; I truly appreciate each and every one!

We are working on two new routines, that I hope will not disappoint our friends and fans from around the world – your support means so much to us, and I hope you continue to enjoy our work!

Blue Peter - BBC TV, March 2006

November 12, 2008.

Posted in Uncategorized on November 12, 2008 by Tina and Chandi

This is definitely a day that needed it’s own post – it is 10 years to the day that Chandi came to live with me. We met for the first time on November 11, and then I collected her the following day. One of the best days of my life. I knew the minute I brought her home that I had done the right thing – Pepper took one look at her, let out a little squeak and then they proceeded to chase and play. I seem to remember decorating the Christmas tree six times that year, something that got old quite quickly – it was just too close to the racetrack that the dogs made around the sofa. It was, quite honestly, like living in a ‘Tom and Jerry’ cartoon – I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so much in all my life!

November 12 was also the day I nominated as a birthday for Pepper, as I didn’t know her proper date of birth – it was very strange that Chandi came into our lives on that day.

So, happy birthday, Pepper, and happy anniversary, Chandi – and here’s to the next 10 years …
