News March 2010 -

Jenny and Arthur head off for Chester & City Open Show on 31st May.

With a change of judge to Mrs Cass, Arthur wins 'BOB', and then under the same judge wins 'Gundog Group 1'

Jenny was delighted when awarded 'RBIS' under judge Mrs M Reeves

Well Done to Jen and Arthur - Photo right of Arthur at a show recently.

On Sunday May 16th, I take Ash and Neo to Mid Herts Gundog Open Show. We had a superb entry over 5 classes, our breed judge was Mrs S Pudney (Cascadia).

Neo, at his very first show, was in puppy. There were 8 puppies in his class, and he won 2nd place, I was delighted with him - Bless.

Ash was in Junior, really pleased when he won the class (his sister Eula was 3rd and Brother Toby was 4th - well done to them), he was also in Post Graduate which he won.

He went onto win 'Best Of Breed', and did a super job in the Group ring, by winning 'Best In Show 3' - BIS judge was Mrs Val Foss (Elswood)

Ash also had his Glaucoma eye test done and is clear

Great news from Jenny that owns Arthur (photo right), she has just had his 'Hip Score' back from the Kennel Club and he has a score 4:5 = 9

Ginny, his sister has also been hip scored and she is 4:3 = 7

The breed average mean score for ESS's is 14

This means Arthur is now fully health tested. Clear for Fucosidosis and PRA (cord 1), Glaucoma clear, annually eye tested and clear
