We had a very busy and exciting day, and the team couldn't of done it if it wasn't for the help of team Pinebank, in particular Karen Taylor. The judges for the day included Sarah Whittaker (Bramatha) judging dogs and Jenny Donnely (Eskmill) judging the bitches.

We are all really proud of Madison's children Mac, Dime & Atty on their very first Championship Show, and Mac's first ever show !!

Crufts 2011

Well another Crufts has been and gone, we had a lovely day, first off I handled Bumblyn Red Kite owned and bred by Lyn Irwin to a 4th in Yearling Bitch. I then took in Jive Bunny who came 4th in Graduate Bitch, last but not least was Madison who was in Mid Limit Dog, he made the cut, but was un-placed.

Another Best of Breed

Today at Folkestone, Hythe Open Show under Suzi Tagg (Oiyou) Bunny won Post Graduate and Best of Breed! Really pleased with my little girl, she showed her socks off, congratulations to Sharon and Lowry (Swantonwood Lowry of Wrensmead) who won Puppy and went Best Puppy In Breed, Dime did us proud and came 3rd in the same class.

Well that was the last outing before Crufts next week, the outfit has been sorted, the shopping list made, just to bath and trim the team ! See you all there !!

Maidenhead Open Show

Well what a day ! The team attended Maidenhead Open Show under breed specialist Liz Nicholls (Lineover), and had a wonderful day ! Atty (O. Atico, Madison daughter) won Puppy and went Best Puppy In Breed, she was expertly handled by Karen Taylor of Pinebank fame. Dime came 3rd in Puppy, Bunny was 4th in Post Graduate, and Madison the proud father came 2nd in Open. It was a lovely day, and topped off by the Best of Breed winner Jane Calverley's Gwenadillo Seek A Wish JW winning Gundog Group 3 under Ann Youens (Riverglide).

Eye Tests !

Today we took the team to have their eyes tested, and were pleased to announce that three of Madison's children (including our own Dime) passed with flying colours!
Dime has clear eyes and is clear of glaucoma
Bunny had her eyes tested again and they are still clear.

Dime's First show

Today was Dime's very first show, we attended Portsmouth & Southsea Open with Flatcoats being judged by Carole Coode (Warringah). Dime was entered in Junior as there was no puppy class, he did us proud! He was a little star, I'm so pleased with him, he received a very credible 4th, and seemed to take everything into his stride.
