🐾 Ambassador Spotlight: Beth & The Yorkshire Five - Life With Labradors, A Spaniel Queen & A Fox Terrier
East Yorkshire → Lake District → Muddy fields and magical forests. Meet the family behind @tails_from_yorkshire.
📍 Meet Beth - Country Walks, Horses, Dogs & Endless Adventures
Beth lives in East Yorkshire surrounded by animals (and we mean surrounded). She has four horses, five dogs, tropical fish and one wonderfully fat cat.
Life is outdoors, muddy, busy, joyful and occasionally chaotic in the best way.
“I love exploring the countryside, taking photos and competing with my horses.”
Photography is how she collects memories. Dogs are how she collects happiness.
🐶 The Pack (and Their Personalities)
Beth shares her life with five very different dogs:
- Minnie – 3-year-old working Labrador
- Molly – 15-year-old working Labrador
- Margot – 5-month-old working Labrador puppy
- Maple – 2-year-old Cavalier King Charles spaniel
- Bear – 9-year-old wire-haired fox terrier
If Beth had to sum them up in three words:
Loyal, chaos, entertaining
Which every dog owner knows is the perfect combination.
🏔️ Why do we choose Biothane for our custom collars?
✨ Favourite Memory (Warning: You’ll Laugh)
It’s Christmas Eve.
Dinner prep is underway.
The sausages are on the side for pigs in blankets…
…enter Molly.
Puppy Molly climbed the kitchen worktop, pierced a hole in the sausage string, pulled the entire chain out and ate every single one.
“We had no pigs in blankets for Christmas.”
Zero regrets from Molly.
100% iconic Labrador behaviour.
Molly = legend.

🎨 Coat Colours & Collar Favourites
Beth’s pack is full of beautiful coat contrasts:
- 3 × black Labradors
- Maple: black and tan
- Bear: light / cream-coloured
Her favourite colours for them?
Sandstorm is “absolute favourite.”
Greens, olive, moss, earthy tones and Merlot.
These tones look stunning on dark coats, especially outside among fields, leaf fall and forest trails.
🌟 Top choice:
Treasure x Pixie (Foxes Glade embossing) - Beth’s all-time favourite combo.
“It’s classy but not too bright. The embossing shows up well on the colour and it shows up well against the coat.”

🌿 A Typical Adventure with the Yorkshire Five
Beth’s walks aren’t staged, planned, or overly tidy.
They’re real.
- Off-lead freedom
- Somewhere with water
- Everyone chasing a ball
- Dogs being dogs
- Mud, puddles, chaos, joy
“The priority is dogs being allowed to be dogs and enjoy themselves.”
That is EXACTLY what Woof & Snout designs stand for.
Mud? Bring it.
Rain? Gorgeous.
Water? Absolutely yes.
Everything wipes clean and nothing smells.

🏞 Favourite UK Place to Explore
There was no hesitation:
The Lake District.
Dog-friendly trails.
Wild water swims for Minnie.
Views that never get old.
Every season is beautiful.
If you see breathtaking photos of shiny black Labradors against red leaves - it’s probably Beth.
🎒 Walk Essentials
One thing Beth never leaves the house without:
A ball.
(Realistically… multiple balls.)
If you have working labradors, this is not a choice.
This is law.
🪡 How Beth Found Woof & Snout
“We were lucky enough to join at the very beginning…”
That means Beth is one of our original pack - from our very first days. She has been there through it all - watching collections evolve, seeing our patterns, our embossing and our business grow. And we've gotten the opportunity to see her wonderful pack grow too, alongside her beautiful photography. Having been here from the start - Maple, the Cavalier King Charles, is known as the collar queen 👑.

🧩 Style Inspiration
Beth’s style:
Earthy, natural & outdoorsy
…with a touch of Merlot just to make things spicy.
Her dogs are often photographed:
- in woods
- against autumn leaves
- by water
- in frost and snow
- tucked under foliage
Her aesthetic is nature first, dogs second, collars third…
and somehow all three look magical at once.
👥 Community & Friendship
“It’s a family. We love each other. We laugh. We cry and we argue.”
Woof & Snout ambassadors often say the same thing:
it doesn’t feel like “influencers” — it feels like a pack.
Beth has made too many friends and wouldn’t go back.
“I can’t imagine life without them.”
That is the dream of a dog brand community.
📸 Photography Q&A

Whatever makes her smile.
“If I look at it and it brings me joy, that’s enough.”
That is the most wholesome approach to photography ever.

Why she loves taking photos:
“Dogs aren’t here forever. Capture every memory you can.”
