The Papillon Club of Scotland

Sue had a successful trip down to the Papillon Club of Scotlands Champ show at Lanark on May 22nd, three of her four dogs won their classes - Desmond was the only one to miss out but he did have a class of almost 16 and he found it a bit of a bore!

Elwood was at his first proper show and he won the Minor Puppy Dog class, Rosa was 1st in Post Grad Bitch and her mother Gypsy won the Veteran Bitch class.

Elwood - 1st MPD

Rosa - 1st PGB

Gypsy - 1st VB

Whippet Club of Scotland Champ Show

Niamh, John, Liz and Heather were all at the Whippet Club of Scotlands recent championship show and there were good results for all.

Niamhs Mia was 4th in Puppy Bitch and Keano 5th in Open Dog. Keanos brother Jake, belonging to Niamhs dad John, gained his stud book number when he was placed 3rd in Limit Dog. Both brothers now have their stud book numbers - quite an achievement when whippets have such large classes.

Lizs Maisie was 5th in Minor Puppy Bitch and Poppy was 3rd in Limit Bitch.

Heathers Mica (hope thats spelt right Heather!) won the veteran class and Best Veteran In Show!

Congratulations!

Thanks for the photos Niamh.

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.

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.

Lots of wins to report, let me know of any Ive missed and feel free to send any photos you may have.

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.

Hound - Joans Bo was 1st in his class and BOB. Erica and Dougs Twiglet won her Post Grad class and PG2. Erica also handled Suzanne and Alans Brodie and he won the AV Hound Minor Puppy class.

Toy - Jills Tiger won the AVNSC class. Elizabeth and Georges Lola was BOB. Sues Rosa won her class and Elwood was 1st in the Toy Minor Puppy class. Lynnes Murphy was BOB.

Junior Handling - Ria won the 6-11 year class and went on to win overall Best Junior Handler.

Well done to everyone!

Scottish Beagle Club Champ Show

The Scottish Beagle Club held their Champ show at Lanark on the 19th June (I think).

Im not sure if Erica and Dougs Willow had already qualified but she certainly did at this show with a 3rd in Limit Bitch. Suzanne and Alans Brodie (Charlottes pup) just missed out with his 4th in Puppy Dog.

Well done and thanks for the photos Erica.

Willow - 3rd Limit Bitch

Catrine CC and LKA of Scotland

Catrine Canine Club Open show was held at Lanark on Saturday 20 November. The Agricultural Centre is a good venue with heaps of parking but space was scarce beside the three rings in the hall. At least all the bodies made the temperature rise as it was a pretty cold day!

Only a few club members made the journey there, Dundee Limited show was on the same day, so not many results. Sues Elwood won his graduate class and Ria won her JH class, which came with £5 prize money and a selection box - well worth it!

The following day, LKA of Scotland Open show was held in the Central Hall, Ingliston. This venue certainly doesnt lack space but it does lack heating! Space heaters were used but a lot of the heat must have escaped through the gaps in the walls . . . make sure you wear your thermals if youre attending a winter show there!

Again, not many club members present but a few wins to report. Katies Lara won her post grad class and then went on to take BOB. Sues Jana also won her class and BOB and Desmond won his graduate class. Erica and Niamh were over at the hound ring, which must have been the coldest part of the hall and whippets certainly needed their jackets! No wins for them but Niamhs Mia did take 3rd in a very large junior class.

Well done to everyone, hope youve all thawed out .

Lara wins her class . . .

North of Scotland Toydog Society

The North of Scotland Toydog Society held their first group open show of the year in the usual venue of Arbroath community centre on Sunday, 2nd May.

It was a particularly successful day for Jill and the Chins, not only did puppy Cracker win his class and BPIB but Tiger won his class, BOB and topped it off with Best in Show! Congratulations! Jills husband Bill hasnt been too well of late so it was great to see him back at the ringside and how nice that he was there to see Tiger take top spot.

There were a number of other wins. Sues Rosa won her class. Rias Jasper won his and also took BOB. Elizabeth and George had BOB and BPIB with their Bolognese but Im not sure which of their dogs were the winners (further details would be appreciated).

Apologies for the quality of the photos, the halls lighting is not the best.
