Another big day for Benson
At Lothian CA Open show last Saturday, June's Benson went all the way to the top once again with another Best In Show award. Well done!
Benson was also entered in the Scottish heat of the Kennel Gazette Junior Warrant Competition, which was being held at this show, and he was one of those chosen to go through to the semi-finals at Discover Dogs in November. Good luck for that June, let's hope that Benson will be one of the ten finalists who go on to compete at Crufts 2011.

Roseisle Companion Show
The sun was shining for our Companion show at Roseisle, which no doubt helped bring out all the doggy folk, and a good sum was raised in aid of Hearing Dogs for Deaf People.

Lesley's Rommi was declared Best In Show and Ria's Jasper was Reserve Best In Show.
Well done to all the winners!
Thanks for the photos Nicky.

City of Birmingham Champ Show and a new Champion!
The City of Birmingham champ show was held from 3rd-5th September.
It turned out to be a very exciting show for Elizabeth (one which she almost didn't make due to her van breaking down just outside Perth!), Bronni won the Open Bitch class and then went on to take the CC. Since this was her third such award, she is now a Champion. Huge congratulations!

CH Pot of Gold on KerraraThere are a few other wins to report.
June's Benson continues to be in the cards, he won his Limit Dog class and then took the RCC.
Sue's Kupah won both his Junior Dog and Graduate Dog classes. He has been chasing JW points and would have got 3 for his GD win but I'm not sure how many he has under his belt at the moment.
Liz's Bunty and Poppy did very well to get placed in their enormous whippet classes. Bunty was 3rd out of 17 Post Grad bitches and Poppy was 4th in a class of 22 Limit Bitches. (Hope I've got them the right way round!)
Well done to all!

Kilmarnock Obedience Show
Colin and Lisa went down to Kilmarnock on Saturday 4th September. Colin's Beauly did a good round but ended up just out of the places in a class of 36 Beginners. Lisa and Max did make it into the line up with their 8th place. Well done!
Lisa and Max
Colin and Beauly working hard
At this show there is a special charity C class which looks like it would have been great fun. The handlers had to do the round dressed in a clown's outfit, leave their dog in a stay whilst applying face paint and also bounce about on a space hopper! Quite a test for dog and handler.
