Hi

I'm back.

Sorry not to have kept you up to date, rubbish aren't I !!

Back in May it was Birmingham Ch Show & James won puppy & Novice & BPIB, Bliss was 2nd in Limit.
Then they went off to Scotland for SKC with Mona Hunter judging & James repeated his success with again two classes & BPIB. But Bliss was the star winning Limit & the bitch CC.
Later in the month it was Bath & they didn't fair so well, James only 3rd in his last puppy class & Bliss 2nd in Limit, although to be fair she was losing her coat so quite a good effort.
Southern Counties saw James win a class of one!! & Bliss only 4th in Limit.

At the 1st Joint Irish Setter show, they both came back to form with James winning 4 classes & Bliss topping the Mid-Limit class. Woody went too & got 5th in Grad. but it really wasn't his sort of weather, wet & windy so his coat which was carefully blowed dried straight the day before was a mass of curls!!

A week later & Jane went off to Ireland with Katrina Hall, it was fingers-crossed for a 3rd CC with Bliss but no such luck when it was awarded to her travelling companion!!! Not to worry Glennara Lehana is a daughter of Connor (Sh Ch S. Jackson at L.) & a grand daughter of Sh Ch Lynwood Pioneer of Seadog so still in the family. James won Junior & Graduate.

Three Counties & Ruth Ellis judging, James 2nd Junior, 3rd Yearling & Bliss 1st Limit.

Windsor & I WENT, yes me Sky. I've been in season & grown up a bit & I showed them all how it should be done winning Yearling with my sister Blanche 2nd behind me. The other's ... well James only got 3rd, Woody only short-listed & Bliss only 5th. I'm now entered for a couple more shows so keep an eye out for me.

James won his final open show point at Blackwood show under Ro Cox bringing his total to 27 so he was able to claim his Junior Warrant at only 13months, not bad seeing he didn't arrive from Sweden until he was almost 10 months. He will only go to the one Ch. show he is entered at for the rest of the summer while some of us others will be given a chance to shine. We only sent off for his JW on Monday & his certificate arrived in the post this morning (Friday) Well Done the Kennel Club!!

Have you noticed that our website has been updated, not quite completed but you will find pages for me & James & Bliss & Woody are no longer puppies!!

Bye for now

Sky
