AUGUST - SEPTEMBER

SAT 26 SEPTEMBER

Belfast and a late change of judge for us. Kathy Gorman took over due to illness of Hilda Parkinson. A very tiring journey but pleased to win Limit with Frankie and third with Libby. Much better news with Didi (Bitcon Darling Diva) who won her junior class then went on to be reserve best bitch.

MON 21 SEPTEMBER

Nidderdale open show under Teresa Dunsdon. Great day with Frankie getting BOB and Libby BP.

SUN 20 SEPTEMBER

Darlington under Graham Osbourne (Beaters) You wonder what gets in to the minds of the dogs. Libby refused to move in the class and was very spooked. She got third which was good considering. Frankie was short listed but didnt get any further but not too bad for her first limit class. Took the dogs back to the site later and moved libby again and she went like a little trooper so god knows what was wrong with her.

SUN 13 AUGUST

Spending the week with the caravan with Celia and Robert Woodbridge in Kent Beautiful weather (dont think it ever rains here) A bit disconcerting to sit in front of the awning with a glass of wine and hear lions roaring and watch giraffes wander over the skyline!! On to Richmond show and Patsy Hollings a bit of a mixed day as Frankie gets third in post grad and Didi our Vizsla got a fourth in junior. Travel back up to Darlington this week hope the ground is better than last year!

SUN 30 AUGUST

After a lovely sunny week in Scotland its SKC weekend under Freda Marshall and Libby gets 4th While Frankie gets 5th less said about that the better at least it didn,t rain!

SUN 23 AUGUST

WKC under Jinty Gill Davies. Great start to her career for Libby (Hunterheck Casts A Spell) as she wins her first ever class! Not such a good day for Frankie as we discovered a mix up in the entries by higham press spoilt the day. Never mind its on to SKC tomorrow morning.

SAT.8TH AUGUST

Bournemouth under Silvia Bunting. A lovely warm week away with the caravan and Frankie won her post grad class now for the long trip back home!! But a great start to the month.

SAT.5th AUGUST

National Gundogs and a change of judge to Margaret Jamieson from Carolyn Muirhead due to illness. Rained all day but a fantastic result for us as Frankie (Hunterheck Midnight Blues) won post graduate bitch then the bitch CC and Best of Breed. It really made the long trip down worthwhile!! Heading off to Bournemouth with the caravan on Sunday.
