First of all let us introduce ourselves, we are LizAndyCris Westies . We are a Mother and Daughter duo, Jenny being the Mother and Liz the Daughter. Liz has 2 older brothers, Andy and Chris. This is where the kennel name affix LizAndyCris came from. We live in Derbyshire in a little town called Heanor, and when I say little... it is 'blink and you have missed it' little!! Not only are we Mother and Daughter, we are a 'team' breeding and showing dogs together and, ...we are best friends. We both enjoy every minute we spend with our Westies, not only around the ringside when they are in their best gear, but at home where they are cherished family members in their 'everday overalls'. I should at this point highlight that none of this would be possible without the 'backroom staff' and their wonderful efforts behind the scenes, Paul & Sean - my Mum's and my respective partners. The 4-legged friend has been part of our family for over 50 years, and in that time we have owned many different breeds down the years, from Sheep dogs to Collies, Dachshunds to Jack Russells. We started in the show world some 25 years ago with German Shepherds, we had a lot of fun with it,and also a lot of success. We still have a Husky, Jack Russell and German Shepherd as pets to this day, as well as the Westies. We retired from showing 15 years ago, and around 7 years ago in 1999 owned our first WHWT, that one soon became three, these little animals sure do grow on you. It was only in 2004 that we decided to take a visit to Newark Showground when an open show was taking place, initially to look for a stud dog for one of our ladies, but what a silly move that turned out to be!! As you can guess, from that day we were hooked back to the joys and fun of the show world all over again. For 18 months we travelled to the top and bottom of the country, just as spectators, to watch this beautiful breed show their little socks of around the ring and to try and learn all the tricks of the trade. It was October 2005 that we became the proud owners of our first real hopeful in the Showring Lynnsto Laska at LizAndyCris Click on her name to read more October 2006 brought the opportunity to purchase a dog that we had admired from him being only 6 weeks old. We couldn’t believe our good fortune that this chance had come our way, we soon brought home our little boy Alex - Comdale Curtain Call at LizAndyCris Bred by Steve & Denise Jenning - COMDALE .Click on his name for more Use the navigation buttons to check out the rest of our site
