Blackpool Championship Show

Another super day at this lovely show, with Kiddy coming 2nd in MPD and showing so well, Rufus 3rd in Limit and the Klasi winning Open and his 7th CC! We are so thrilled for him to have taken the ticket here two years in a row and are very grateful to judge Howard Ogden for thinking so highly of him.  Klasi also went in open stakes under Jill Peak and got a very respectable 2nd and then Kiddy was shortlisted in a humungous Pet Plan Junior Stakes under Ken Sinclair and got some wonderful comments!.  Sadly we missed our other stakes classes as they all clashed.

Below is some SloMo Video of Kiddy and Klasi on the move and the judges critiques for both.

MPD 2. Crow's Just Kidding Of Angel's Legacy, 7 months, shown on Dutch ATC number yet interestingly out of Vanitonia Dam, equally stunning and title bound. So well constructed, shorter in muzzle, not quite the freedom yet in profile action but this will develop as he does, has shape and style. Superbly conditioned, has depth, level, balanced angles, glorious.
OD 1. Crow's Ch Mongoshi Gatecrasher 5 years old at his peak with grace and flow, he is a touch up on leg for perfect balance and could have a darker eye but the whole picture is absolutely crested and particularly once his skilled handler lets him freely circuit to showcase his reach and drive and elegance. Unwavering profile, immaculately conditioned that was unrivalled here, clean front, level, deep, good head proportions, muscled, goes true enough, good tail carriage and surely a significant addition to the gene pool. CC.

Border Union Championship Show

Another amazing day in Scotland making the 10 hours round trip more than worth it!
Judge was breed specialist Irene Jennings, who gave Kiddy 2nd in Puppy Dog, then Ziggy 1st in a very strong Post Graduate dog, then Rufus 1st in Limit Dog and the icing on the cake Will 1st in OD and then his second CC!!!
We are so delighted for Will as he has been a real challenge and went so well today.  Also for Ziggy who is only shown once a year and showed like a total pro.  He has now always been placed first under this judge right from when he was a puppy winning RBPIS, so I was a special moment!
Just awesome day, so massive thank you to the Judge for thinking so highly of our boys!

Unfortunately we didn't manage to get any video of Will, but here is Ziggy on the move in SloMo

Three Counties Championship Show

Beautiful Sunny Day at this showground which was lovely.  We only had Kiddy entered in the breed under breed specialist Stuart Payne and he was placed 2nd in MPD.  We had another great day in the Stakes however with Klasi winning open stakes under Liz Cartledge and then coming 2nd in Champion Stakes under Mrs J Gill-David and then Kiddy getting a VHC in a massive Pro Plan POTY heat under Mrs C A Coode.
Was lovely to win a really nice trophy in open stakes too, especially from such a highly renowned judge!
