Welsh Kennel Club Championship Show
WKC was held last weekend, many miles away at Builth Wells. For Elaine, the long journey and lack of sleep was all forgotten when Zeta won her class, took the BCC and also Best of Breed. Not only that but Milo was Best Puppy.
Congratulations!
Congratulations!
Lourin Fair
A companion show was held at a very windy Lourin Fair last Saturday. Once again a Carvaha beagle took the top spot, hot on the heels of her Keith win, Charlotte collected another Best In Show award.
Reserve Best In Show also went to a Spey Valley member - Niamh's Mia.
Congratulations Erica, Charlotte, Niamh and Mia!

More about Kennel Cough
Just to clarify the situation regarding Kennel Cough.
We have not had any coughing dogs at training classes but we would like everyone to be aware of the condition so that we can avoid the chance of spreading it amongst our dogs.
For those who may not know very much about it, Kennel Cough passes from dog to dog much like humans pass on colds and flu. Dogs don't have to have been in kennels to catch it, just having contact with an affected dog. Most healthy dogs that catch it will get over it very quickly and easily but it can be more of a problem in young pups and older dogs with problems.
If your dog does have a cough, get it checked by your vet, avoid other dogs and please don't bring it to classes until it is well again. If it has been in contact with affected dogs then you should also keep it away from classes until you know for sure that it hasn't contracted Kennel Cough.

Congratulations Jill and Chico!

A good placing for Fran and Diva
Govan Open Obedience Show was held on Saturday 14th, Fran was the only club member who went down to compete.
Tasha had a great time in the ring but missed out on a placing. Diva took it all a little more seriously and managed to get a very worthy 3rd place in Beginners. Competition is always fierce in these well filled classes and any place is well earned. Just 3/4 of a point separated 1st and 3rd place so it was a very close thing!
Well done Fran and fingers crossed for 1st next time.

Tayside, Lochee & District Canine Club Open Show
The venue for this show is Carnoustie Leisure Centre, situated right beside the beach, and with the sun shining all day long on Saturday (14th), you couldn't have asked for a better setting for a show. We won't think about previous shows where it rained and a howling gale was coming off the sea!
Four rings were held outside, quite some distance from the two held inside the hall, which meant for a bit of a split. It wasn't easy to keep track of what went on but I have some results, let me know of any I've missed. Sorry, no photos.
Linda and Ron's Esmee was Best AVNSC toy, Freda was BOB and Best Hound Special Minor Puppy.
Elizabeth's Belle beat all her kennel mates to take BOB.
Sue's Desmond won his Graduate class and Jana won her Post Grad class.
Well done all!

Falkirk Open Show
The Central Hall, Ingliston was the venue for Falkirk & District Canine Club's open show on August 7th. It's a large hall with plenty of space but quite noisy and with the added attraction of dried cow dung dotted around the rings! Plenty of classes were scheduled and the groups were all of a good size.
Sue's Desmond won his class, BOB and then G4. Elwood won the AV toy minor puppy class and Puppy Group 3.
I don't think any other club members were down there but let me know if I'm wrong.
