9th November - another show day missed, this time Gundog Breeds of Scotland championship show and later in the day the English Setter Society of Scotland's Open show.A lovely Best Puppy at both shows for Wendy with Persie( Wansleydale Beguilded) and 1st and 2nds for Linda with Rupert and Yvonne with Rosie. Not too sad about missing the shows, more sorry to miss the "post show stay" in Northumberland and the lovely walks on the beach!
2nd November -Setter & Pointer championship show. One of my favourites but although I had entered this year I was unable to attend. Still the Wansleydales had a good day - in the dog classes Wendy was second with Persie (W. Beguiled), Linda and Rupert won the Graduate class with Jeanette and Jos (W.Goldsmith) Reserve in Limit. Andrea and W. Chartreuse for Hathermere were in the cards again with a lovely 2nd in Graduate, and the 2 Rosies took 2nd and 4th in the Post Graduate bitch class. Star of the day again was Team Glenmaurangi with Sh Ch Wansleydale Star Queen who won the Bitch CC, her 18!.

16th October - off to Malvern for Gundog Society of Wales championship show. Another class win for Linda and Rupert, and also Yvonne with Rosie. Second places today for my dogs, Margo and Dash. Wasn't disappointed with Dash's second place as the class winner, Quensha Cowboys and Angels, went on to take the Dog CC and Best of Breed. This young orange boy is sired by Yvonne's "Charlie" (Sh Ch Wansleydale King's Magic JW) so it was really keeping it in the family. Reserve bitch CC winner was Sh Ch W Star Queen at Glenmaurangi - But our special winner today was Anne with Daisy (Wansleydale Bedazzled at Calydene ) whon won Best Puppy in Breed.
13th October - today it is the Semi Finals of the KC Junior Warrant competition held in London. Both Linda with Rupert and Yvonne with Rosie had qualified and although I would have liked to go and support them thought I had better stay at home and help David look after Alice and her puppies. Sadly neither caught the judge's eye to win through to the final at Crufts 2020 but I am sure both put in a strong performance.

11th October - a long and very wet journey to Builth Wells for the South Wales KA championship show. Each year we say never again, this really is one of the worst journeys we make! First prizes for Linda with W. Dorian Gray, Yvonne with W. Magic Rose and Andrea with W. Chartreuse for Hathermere. Barbara with Sonny was 2nd in Veteran. Star and Margo were both in the Open class, Star taking the Bitch CC and Best of Breed with Margo taking the reserve CC. So despite the weather it was a good day all round.
3rd October - Alice delivers her 9 pups in super fast time. Just 1 dog but 8 bitches!
1st October - arrived home to find, as expected, everything in order. Many thanks to Glen (G.M. Home and Pet Sitting) for looking after our pack so well. Alice is due to whelp very soon and is looking huge!

15th September - off up to Darlington show. All a bit of a rush as we are off on holiday next week and almost as soon as we return Alice is due to have her puppies so having to get everything prepared in advance. Another Best Puppy Dog award for Persie and 1st in Post Graduate for Linda with Rupert. In the bitch classes the Howell's W. Be Misty for Me was 2nd in Puppy and so gained her Crufts 2020 qualification. Anne Dykes Daisy (W. Bedazzled of Cayledene) litter sister to Misty and Persie, was also in the cards.Yvonne with Rosie won Post Graduate bitch with the Roberts W.Frangelica for Mirkwood taking 3rd place in the same class. I won the Limit class with Margo and Sh Ch W. Star Queen at Glenmaurangi was 2nd in Open and then awarded the reserve CC.So all in all a great day - well done everyone!
8th September - didn't fancy the long journey to Richmond championship show so stayed home and looked forward to seeing the results online. Best Puppy Dog for Wendy with Persie (Wansleydale Beguiled) A first for Louise with tricoloured Rosie (W. Amaretto) in Special Beginners but only a 5th place today for Yvonne with the other Rosie (W. Magic Rose)
1st September - Birmingham Championship show at Stonleigh. Just Dash entered today, and what a day he had! First he wins his class, then the Dog CC and finally Best of Breed. Can't quite believe it!
The other Wansleydales shown today were all in the cards in strong competition. Well done all.
Rupert - Wansleydale Dorian Gray JW

20th July - Northern English Setter Society championship show at Stafford. Well, what a day - I think our most successful in my 40 years of dog showing!First championship show for Martha and off to a great start with her winning the Minor Puppy bitch class. Today was the show debut for Martha's litter sister Misty owned by Gareth & Maggie Howell (W.Be Misty for Me)and also in the same class was the third litter sister, Anne Dyke's Daisy (W. Bedazzled at Caleydene). So nice that all 3 were in the cards. Thrilled to look across the hall to the dog ring to see litter brother Persie (W. Beguiled) win the Minor Puppy Dog class for owner Wendy Johnson.

13th July - congratulations to Brendan, Best of Breed and Group 3 with Robin (Int Ch Wansleydale Woodpecker at Berrywood) at the Ladies Irish Kennel association show today.
11/12th July - a couple of enjoyable trips out to see puppies from Dash's 2nd and 3rd litters. His first litter was lovely and produced a stunning dog puppy that is going to Germany and will hopefully be shown in Europe, these subsequent litters also look very promising. Always nice to see what a new young stud dog is producing to bitches of differing breed lines.

Litter 3 at 6 weeks old - there are 10 puppies in this litter but I can only see 9!
9th July - Dukeries Gundog open show , her first show today for our puppy Martha (W.Bizzie Bee). She was a little over awed but showed well enough to catch the judge's eye and win the class. A lovely start to her show career - long may it continue!
7th July - off with Dash and Margo today for East of England championship show held near Peterborough. After the long trip in heavy traffic to Windsor last week this show felt relatively local to me. A 1st and 2nd place in Graduate dog for Dash and Rupert, 2nd for Anne with Daisy (W. Bedazzled for Caleydene) in the Minor Puppy bitch class, a lovely 1st for Yvonne with orange Rosie ( W. Magic Rose JW) and a 3rd in Open for Stella with Peaches (W. Fairie Queene at Bramstorm) Margo was alone in her class so had no competition to take 1st place!
22nd June - Can't believe that we have not taken any photos of our new puppy Martha since she was about 9 weeks old! Finally managed to remedy that - let me introduce Wansleydale Bizzie Bee who hopefully will be in the show ring soon.

This actually turned out to be quite a family affair! Star Queen is the daughter of Scarlet and Luke (Sh Ch W. King of Hearts at Bramstorm) Luke is also the sire of Galileo. Luke's father is Sh Ch W. Royal Flush making him grandfather to Star and Galileo and amazingly also grandfather to Best Puppy Alex. Not forgetting that Scarlet is also mother of the the reserve Best Dog, Dash - our W. Quicksilver9th June - 3 Counties championship show at Malvern. Managed to dodge most of the rain showers so judging was outside but by the end of the morning it was pouring with rain and we all had to move into the cattle sheds! Dash was our Star today winning his Graduate class and then the reserve Dog CC. Star, Alice and Rosie all were in the cards getting a first, second and third respectively in their classes. Best of Breed today was the McKiernan's Sh Ch Richecca Breaking Dawn over Bushbane who is sired by Luke (Sh Ch Wansleydale King of Hearts at Branstorm JW). This is the 5th of Luke's offspring to win a CC this year already! To finish off a good day Dash was 4th in the Good Citizens stakes class and won a tenner!

Dash has recently sired 3 litters, the oldest of which are now 9 weeks and off to their new homes. I went to see them when they were 7 weeks old and their breeder, Jane at Mariglen, has kindly sent me these photos of the dog pup that for me was pick of litter. I think he has becone even more handsome over the last 2 weeks!

19th May, back home from Scotland in time for the Midland English Setter open show at Baginton near Coventry. Always a lovely show and we were just lucky enough with the weather for judging to be completed outdoors in the large grass ring before the rain started.Lovely to see such a well filled minor puppy bitch class, Anne with Daisy (Wansleydale Bedazzled at Caleydene) at just 6 months was making her show debut and behaved very well to take 3rd place.Scarlet had one of her rare outings and won Veteran Bitch with Yvonne and (orange)Rosie taking the Yearling class. Lousie with (tricolour) Rosie also went home with several cards.But our star today, following on from her Reserve Best in Show award at the MESS November show last year was Margo, who went one better to take the Best in Show award this time.

17th May - quick trip up to SKC at Ingliston. Disappointingly low entry but still some top dogs there. Pleased to win Open with Alice and the reserve bitch CC. A first for Yvonne with Rosie and a second for Linda and Rupert in the biggest class of the day. Lovely walks on the beach and in the dunes at Bamburgh later that day.

Tribute to Jolymore) We stopped off on our journey south at Perth and had lunch with Wendy and Gavin and had the chance to meet up with puppy Persie who is now 6 months old. He is from Lizzy's litter and I haven't seen since he was 10 weeks, although I have seen lots of photos!.What a lovely puppy - and what a big boy he already is!

10th May - coming to the end of our week in the Cairngorms. The GSPs, Lottie and Karla, have had a great time and are shattered after long walks in the forest and by the River Spey everyday. I had the opportunity to catch up with an old school friend of mine and suprisingly we finished the week meeting up with an old school friend of Kinga's from Poland who now lives in Grantown on Spey, just a few hundred yards from the hotel we were staying in! So one of our final walks was with Natalia.

9th March - here we go again! 6.30am and we are back on our way to Crufts. This time for the International Junior Handling Competition - we have loaned Whisper for the day, and we are joining Stella with Peaches (Wansleydale Faerie Queene with Bramstorm) who is also on loan.These junior handlers are so proficient, hard to believe that some are only 12 years old. Whisper's handler was a young lady from Malta, only 14 years old, named Riona Manicaro.The handler only gets about 30 minutes to meet the dog before they have to enter the big ring at Crufts. Riona was so gentle with Whisper and soon developed a rapport with her. She made a really good job of handling her, must be very nerve wracking for these youngsters as they leave the relative quiet of the "behind the scenes" collecting ring and go through the tunnel to the main ring with all the bright lights, TV cameras and huge audience in tiered seating that goes up to the roof!. I'm sure it's also a bit overwhelming for the dogs but Riona managed Whisper in a calm, reassuring manner and I think they both enjoyed the experience. Peaches was handled by a young lady for Ireland, Sarah Cushley, who also did a great job. Sadly neither were selected for the final placings but congratulations to the both , they were great!. While all of this was going on Stella, Yvonne and I were browsing the trade stands, eating, and making friends with one of the BBC presenters, Radzi. Until a few years ago Radzi was a Blue Peter presenter - no Blue Peter badges today though!

8th March - complete change today, took our visitors to Sherwood Forest, after all Dorota's Robin is named after Robin Hood! Had a lovely walk with 4 of the dogs through the Forest to see the Major Oak.
Dorota & Kinga at Sherwood Forest Visitor's Centre with muddy Lottie, Karla, Scarlet & Dash. And not forgetting Robin Hood!
7th March - Crufts Gundog Day at the NEC. Early start with Margo and Whisper, picked up Ingrid with Acer on the way and then delayed in heavy traffic. Luckily Dorota and Kinga are over from Poland and they were waiting for us at the NEC entrance to help us get the dogs, bags and cages safely inside. Our show results were much as I expected, a 3rd for Margo, 5th for Whisper, 2nd for Linda with Rupert, 5th for Acer and a 3rd for Stuart and Yvonne's Rosie.

3rd Feb - First of the breed championship shows, Midland English Setter Society at Stonleigh. I love this show as it always so friendly. Added bonus is that we usually do well there! This year was no exception with all Wansleydales in the cards including our Dash who won the Special Yearling class. However it was an even more fabulous day for Jeanette with Jos (Wansleydale Goldsmith) who won his first CC. Across in the bitch ring it was Star yet again who was awarded the Best Bitch award, after winning the Open Bitch class with Whisper coming second.It was lovely to see Jos and Star challenging for Best in Show, with Star taking the top award. She really is on a roll at the moment!.
