News from Norway
Some show news from Norway again:
Samuel went BOS yesterday at an All Breed National Dogshow, Oppdal 😉 His son, only 9 month, “Micky”( Hotsteps Lawrence Of Arabia) became 3. best of males with CC. Another Samuel-son “Pettikotts Ambling I” became 4.best of males with RCC.
Proud of his offsprings and they look very nice 😉

Judging at Finland’s Spaniel Club
I was delighted to be invited to judge in Finland again – last time was 11 years ago – weather was great, the entry was lovely in number and in quality and the exhibitors were very sporting. I was very touched to learn that the bitch that I awarded her first cc 11 years ago and my co judge Mrs Linda Robison agreed for her to be BIS came under me again today at the grand age of 13 and won 2nd in a very nice Veteran bitch class (see judging page) for main winners
Southern Counties Championship Show
Had a most enjoyable day today amongst friends and fellow exhibitors, also showed under breed specialist Eve Milburn. Craig won 3rd in a nice puppy dog class and Ellie won 1st in a very strong Post Grad class.

Had the pleasure of spending some time with Larry who is now 14 years old. He lives with a dear friend and I get to see him once a year when she goes on holiday. I remember the great times that we had together and his many successes as a show dog especially winning his first cc & BOB at Crufts 2002. He sired three show champions in the UK and is behind many of the top winning dogs in this country (including my own) and abroad – love him so much. His mind is still very willing but his body needs a bit more notice – I know the feeling!
