Bon Accord Kennel Association Open Show

Seaton Park, Aberdeen was the venue for BAKAs second open show of the year on Saturday, 3rd July. As this is an outdoor show with no wet weather accommodation, everyone was hoping for a dry day and thankfully this was what we got. It was a bit on the breezy side but there was plenty of sunshine too.

Terrier - Caitlin had a great day with Solo, he was BOB then won the group and, at his last show as a puppy, he also won the Puppy Group. Daveenas Inka took Best AVNSC.

Working - I think Donnas River won his class but was beaten to BOB by Joannes Manfred who went on to G2. Elaines Zeta may have taken top honours last week but she had to make way for young Milo who took BOB. Junes Benson was also BOB as was Richards dobe (sorry,not sure of his name).

Pastoral - Lindas Gino won his class, BOB and Group 4. Frans Diva took Best AVNSC.

Gundog - Lesleys Rommie was Best AVNSC and G2.

Utility - Morags Logie won the Import Register class.

Bon Accord July 12

Bon Accord open show at Seaton Park, Aberdeen started off warm and generally sunny but turned into a pretty damp affair later in the day!  Dog folk are a hardy lot though and it looked like everyone had come prepared with waterproofs, wellies, umbrellas and gazebos.  Weve all learnt that British summer time can throw anything at us!

Congratulations to Ria, Jenny and Maverick on taking Best of Breed, G1 and topping it off with Best In Show!

Another best at Bon Accord for Benson

Bon Accord Kennel Association held their first open show of the year at Thainstone Mart, Inverurie on January 16th. Last year the walk across the car park was made difficult due to icy conditions, this year, thanks to lashing rain, the challenge was to get into the hall without dogs and owners getting soaked to the skin!

Once again Junes Benson took the top spot, his third big win in a row at Bon Accord shows. Last year he was Best Puppy at Thainstone and he also took BIS at the summer show in Seaton Park. Congratulations June and Benson!

There were a number of wins for club members, Ill try and remember them all but please let me know if Ive forgotten any.

Terrier - Cathys Sula won her class and went on to take the terrier group. Karens Ceilidh won her class and G3, Poppy was Best NSC and G4. Caitlins Solo won his minor pup class and puppy group 2.

Pastoral - Jennys Sadie took BOB and then the pastoral group.

Toy - Jills Chico was Best NSC and G2, Sues Rosa won her class and Gypsy was Best Toy Veteran.

Gundog - Sues Finlay and Logan both won their classes and BOB.

Hound - Liz took the whippet BOB and G3 but Ill have to find out which dog it was. Joans Bo was BOB and also G2. Erica and Dougs Willow won her class and BOB.

Utility - Morags Logie added another Best Import to his collection.

Ria won the JH 6-11 yr class, Glenn was 3rd. Caitlin was second in the JH 12-16 yr. There are also adult handling classes at this show and Morag took Best Lady Handler and then Best Overall Adult Handler.

Well done everybody!
