Seasons Greetings & 2008 Round-up

 

2008 draws to an end and while we haven't been out too much this season it is great to see that stock by our lads has still scored well. 

• Anne Roslin-Williams Mansergh Miss Otis by Leo took another CC at LKA.
•  Brumberhill Battlecry owned by Don Bean and sired by Lionel added a second CC  at  SKC and
• Janet Lee's CH Tythrop Tapas also by Leo took his tally to 12 CC's at the Midland Border Terrier Club Championship Show. 

Congratulations to all dogs and their owners.

In the Summer I had a splendid time at the World Show held in Sweden where our venerable 11 years old gentleman Leo came out of retirement to gain an honourable 3rd with an excellent grading in the veteran class with the following report:

"Typical head and expression.  Excellent neck, shoulder and upperarm.  Straight front and very good feet.  Excellent topline, tailset, super tail.  Excellent hind quarters.  Best coat and pelt of the day.  Moving well behind, just a shade wide in front." 

His tail didn't stop but he soon decided he was too venerable to join in much during the challenge!  What a pleasure to show and we thank our wonderful friend Anne Buvik of the Stormbird Kennel for providing him with such a fun packed, natural life on the Norwegian coast with almost daily visits to the forest - Border Terrier heaven!!!
