Our last show of the year at L.K.A. Championship show. Jude was the only one of my dogs attending today and he won 1st place in a good Junior class. I wasn’t showing any Vizslas today but Pat Evans was showing her Cassom Kalti (full brother to my Cassom Barega and Cassom Kiah). He has been consistently well placed in his classes throughout the year but today did even better winning the Post Graduate class under Mrs M. Mackay. Well done Pat and ‘Kai’!

Today we took our latest babes Cassom Rock Star and Cassom Bridget Jones to their first Match night. Neither of them have had any show training yet but they both did extremely well with Rock Star being the overall winner of the ‘Puppy Walk’ class which I was delighted with. They both absolutely loved their first time in the limelight and all the attention they received from everyone. These 2 youngsters are half brother and sister to Jude so I hope they will follow in his footsteps into the show ring when they are old enough.

We had a great day at North Wales Cocker Spaniel Club CH. SH.. The dog judge today was Mrs Sue Telford (Courtmaster) and the bitch judge was Mrs Debbie Sawko (Avandora).
Scarlett made her first appearance in a big minor puppy class aged 6 months on the day and loved all the attention. Despite not being able to stand still for more than a few seconds she was still shortlisted in the class which I was pleased with. Jude showed really well and won his A.O.C. Graduate class. He then went on to be awarded the R.C.C. in strong company, which I was absolutely delighted with as he is still only 14months old.
Many thanks to judge Sue Telford and to everyone for their congratulations and lovely compliments.
