05 February 2016 – Dog World

Open shows to report this week and Papillons have been having a successful time. To kick off the New Year at Coventry Ladies KS a breed specialist Mrs Lynn George-Evans (Jorgealin) was judging the Paps and Mr Ray Morland (Triken) for the TGP. Here Carol Lees went TGP4 with Lynflyer Winter Story at Lafford.

Travelling south of the country at Tauton & DCA here the judge was Mrs A.A Couvill (Vardenais) gave Paps both in adults and puppies good results. Susie and Margaret Orchard took a TGP4 with Alex Eye of the Tiger at Panspayon (Imp BEU) and Sue Stanbury took a TPGP1 with Inixia Hot Stuff.

Mrs C Champion took on the task of judging at Totnes & District Limit Show and awarded Susie and Margaret Orchard’s Kissable De Costalina at Panspayon shCM (imp BEL) a TGP1 and TPGP2 Michele Osborne’s Tykkydewas Peaches ‘n’ Cream.

Penrith and DCS saw Susan Lanson have a super day with her youngster scoring not only in the TPGP but also the TGP. Cantoverde Lady In Red going on to be awarded TGP4 and TPGP1. Judges on this occasion were Mr David Anderson (Nisyros) for the breed and for the TGP Mr Jerry Robertson (Azrams). That must have been a very exciting day for Susan.

At Ashton under Lyne CS Valerie Lockhart took a TGP4 with Rozamie Dream Chaser with Chetruda under Mr Fleetwood. Well done one and all, some fantastic show results.

Just five weeks to Crufts, can you believe that it has crept up on us so quickly? For your puppies I guess it will be a few more practices at the shows coming up for them to be prepared for that larger ring and for many I suspect, like us it will be a chill down period with some fun and frolic times in store. Whatever you are doing, have a great time.
