Weimaraner Club of Scotland Open Obedience Show

The Cochrane Hall, Alva, hosts a number of shows and last Sunday it was the turn of the Weimaraner Club of Scotlands Open Obedience show.




The hall sits in a park with the Ochil hills as a stunning backdrop. Youd never guess from the photo above just what a mudbath dogs and handlers had to contend with in the rings! Many dogs found the conditions hard to cope with, especially when it came to having to sit or lie down in puddles!

Jennys Brint took the wet in his stride and took 2nd place in Beginners, just a quarter of a point behind the winner...so close yet again to winning out of Beginners. Margaret and Ellie were at their first open show and they also coped with all the mud and were placed a worthy 5th in Pre-Beginners. Well done to you both!

Thanks for the photos Margaret.

Darlington Championship Show 2010

Darlington Champ show was held at Newby Hall, 17-19 September.

Just a few wins to report, there dont seem to have been that many club members there.

The Kumormai kennel had a very good day, Milo was 1st in JD, Joely 1st in PGB and litter sister Zeta won her OB class then took the CC, Best of Breed and was also short-listed in the group. The week before, Joely proved she could use her brains when she passed her Good Citizen Bronze test at the Mastiff Associations club show. Congratulations Elaine and gang!

Sue also had a day to remember, Kupah won his GD dog class and this gave him the last few points needed for his Junior Warrant. Not only that but her young pup (not sure of his name) was at his first show and he qualified for Crufts with a 2nd in MPD.

More good news from the gundogs, Elizabeths Asher won his LD class and Bronni was 2nd in OB.

Well done everyone!

Driffield Championship Show 2010

Driffield Champ show was held at Wetherby Racecourse last week, 30 Sept - 3 Oct. Conditions were not great and I think at least three of the four days were hit with rain, certainly Sunday had heavy rain for most of the day, which made for puddles in the rings, despite being in marquees, and plenty of mud everywhere. There were problems leaving the venue with some having to wait over two hours to get out!

Just a few results to report, I dont think many club members were there.

Lizs Poppy was 1st in Post Grad Bitch and sister Bunty was 3rd in Limit Bitch.

Sues pup (still dont know his name) won his Puppy Dog class and was Best Puppy, Katies Lara won her Yearling Bitch class.

Katrinas Marty was 2nd in Yearling Dog and Leo was 2nd in Limit Dog.

Well done everyone!

Belfast Championship Show 2010

There werent many of us at Belfast the weekend of September 25 - 27, perhaps the thought of having to go overseas (plus the cost!) puts most people off. Classes in general were down in number.

I think the only win to report is Sues Elwood, who won his Puppy Dog class.

Elwood - 1st PD
