Pebbles news
Oh wow what a week. Pebbles and I went of to Gundog Society of Wales with Henrietta and Leo. Leo won the puppy dog class and Pebbles won puppy bitch and was 2nd in Novice. She then went BPIB under breed judge Lesley Swigciski and then Valerie Foss awarded her RESERVE BEST PUPPY IN SHOW. What a wonderful way to finish her puppy career. Now we are having a rest!!!!!!
A lovely weekend
We had a lovely weekend as we stayed near Builth for the South Wales Champ. Show where Wilma Reid was judging. On the Saturday we went to the farm where they feed the Red Kites, what a spectacle to see so many at such close quarters, but all out in the wild diving down to take a peace of meat and flying away on the thermals. Then on Sunday of we went to the show. Henrietta was first in and Leo came 2nd in Puppy dog. Then Ann’s Raffles won a really lovely Limit dog class and went on to win the Res. C.C. Pebbles won the Puppy bitch class and Frankie in her first open class won that and then went on to win her 4th C.C. That maybe is Frankie’s last show for the time being as we are waiting for her to come in season!
Darlington Show
Yesterday the 20th September Gill and I set of for Darlington show where Lesley Armstrong Rogers was judging. Henrietta and Leo was 2nd in Puppy dog and Pebbles won puppy bitch and went Best Puppy in breed. Frankie was 3rd in Limit. We finally got home after 10.30p.m. so feel rather jaded to-day!!
City of Birmingham Show
On Sunday the 6th September was the City of Birmingham Show where Valerie Foss was judging our breed for the very last time. It was a brilliant day for us. First Henrietta and Leo (Galileo) won the puppy dog class and went Best puppy dog, then Pebbles won the puppy bitch class and went best puppy bitch. Frankie won the Limit class. Then Leo and Pebbles were up against each other for Best Puppy and Pebbles beat her friend and then was 4th in the Gundog puppy group under Patsy Hollings.

What a wonderful day we had last Sunday at National Gundog where Alan Grindley was judging. Henrietta had Leo in Puppy and Maiden where he was 2nd in both classes and then won the Novice class. Ann with Raffles (Don’t Push It) Frankie’s brother won a good Post Graduate class and he has now won his way out. Pebbles won the Puppy bitch class and then Frankie was in Limit which she won and then went on to win her 3rd CC and BOB. This was so very thrilling and she is now our 29th English Show Champion.

Last weekend the 11th July Pebbles and I set of for our local show the East of England Championship Show with breed specialist Keith Smith judging. Sadly Frankie had a stomach upset so she stayed at home to recover. Henrietta took Leo and he won the Minor puppy class and Pebbles won the Minor puppy bitch class. Later in the day she also won Best Puppy in Breed. Now we have about 3 weeks before our next show but in the next couple of weeks hopefully there will be some puppy pictures!

Results Southern and 3 Counties
The Friday before last we set of for Southern Counties with Nigel Worth judging. Leo was in Minor Puppy dog and was 3rd. Pebbles was in Minor Puppy bitch which she won and Frankie came 5th in Limit. The journey home was horrendous and took 4.5 hours when it had taken 3 in the morning!! Then we went to 3 Counties last Sunday the 7th June where Chris Atkinson was judging and Leo was 2nd, Pebbles was 2nd and Frankie was also 2nd but both journeys were very good and the weather was lovely too unlike at Southern Counties where it was cold and wet.
Some news

To catch up with some of our news Frankie and I went to the ESA show where the judge was Andy Swannel. Frankie was 2nd in Limit. A week later Tony and I went up to Scotland where I judged bitches at the English Setter Society of Scotland. What a lovely show it was and I thoroughly enjoyed the day. We also had a wonderful few days before and after the show staying in Lochmaben, seeing and photographing wildlife and taking the two youngsters we took for some fantastic walks.
Shortly after coming back I went down South and stayed with our daughter and family and had terrific weather and a lovely few days. When I got home it was a question of catching up with all the jobs!!! Last Saturday was Bath with Jane Bishop judging. It was Pebbles and Leo's first show. Pebbles was 3rd in Minor Puppy Bitch and Leo who is Tory's son by Wansleydale Kings Heart at Bramstorm owned by Henrietta and Siobhan was 4th in Minor Puppy Dog. Frankie got 3rd in Limit Bitch.
