2013 Eukanuba Champion Stakes Final

Well what a wonderful experience this day was!  I felt so honoured to have made it through to this prestigious final and be representing our breed amongst such esteemed company.
As always Klasi showed so well and I could not have been more proud of him! 

After just 5 years of showing (and 6 years of owning dogs) it was a dream come true for Klasi to have gained is title at the age of three and in just 5 weeks from first to last CC. Huge thanks to Judges Peter Taylor, Ken Sinclair and Jill Peak.  Klasi then had 9 months off so we could concentrate on our youngsters and came out at his first show back to win his fourth CC under Andrew Brace at Blackpool.  Shown only another 5 times this year mainly in Stakes classes, he won Open Dog Stakes at Windsor under Stuart Mallard, the RCC and was 2nd in the Eukanuba Champion Stakes daily heat at EOE under Bill Browne-Cole and Peter Radley.  He then Won the Eukanuba Champion Stakes daily heat at WKC under Mark Cocozza and was 2nd in  GC stakes under Margaret Deats and then qualified for the Eukanuba Champion Stakes final under Val Foss at Darlington. At Driffield he then won BOS under Gary Thomas and Good Citizen Stakes under Kevin Berry.
We are so very proud of this boy and reaching the final was just something else and more than we could have ever hoped for!

A big thank you for everyone who has made this possible and to Eukanuba for a fantastic and memorable day!
