More sad news received
Received a call today informing me that Doris (Manchela Make A Wish) was pts to prevent suffering at the tender age of 11. Doris was another from the successful dam: Manchela Candleglow by Sh Ch Spinneyhill Stormy Weather over Fonesse. She won well in the show ring including her JW and a res CC but excelled as a dam producing Manchela Silver Strands, Manchela Silver Buckle and Manchela Autumnal Thyme who ultimately produced GB Sh Ch/Nouch/SU (u) Ch Manchela Born to be Wild JW. Sleep well my precious one x
Sh Ch Manchela Blue Lagoon JW
Received some sad news today that Larry (Sh Ch Manchela Blue Lagoon JW) had to be put to sleep today, one day before his 15th birthday. He was a dog of a lifetime – won BOB at Crufts in 2002, won 16 x cc’s plus numerous res cc’s and sired three uk show champions and several more overseas. He will live on in his decendants forever……………..Sleep well my precious boy x
