Lovely show, lovely venue, lovely weather and great results! We took Zorro (Manchela Paco Rabanne JW) and Gilcar Crystal Blue (Pheobe has come to stay with us – thank you Gill and Charlotte for letting this delightful young lady come and stay). Both the dog were entered in Junior class as there was no puppy class – there for five present. Delighted to say that Zorro won 1st & BOB and Pheobe won 2nd, BPIB & PG1 ably handled by Mark. Our breed judge was Mr Bill Browne-Cole and group judge Irene Glen

Attended this lovely show with Manchela Paco Rabanne JW at Malvern, weather was good. Zorro won his Junior class under Martin Saunders – well pleased!

Attended this lovely show (should be used as a benchmark for all championship shows in my opinion) with just Zorro (Manchela Paco Rabanne JW) who did us proud by winning 1st in his Junior class and then won the res cc under gundog specialist judge: Ray Strudwick (Burpham)

Super day at the first of these lovely County shows and the rain stayed off! Zorro (Manchela Paco Rabanne) won his Junior class, declared BOB under Mrs C Harris (Ilexwood) and then 2nd in a very strong gundog group under Julie Williams (Trebettyn) – not bad for a young man of just 16 months!

Attended this very friendly show with a good entry for specialist judge: Lucy Reader (Kaniboo)

Zorro (Manchela Paco Rabanne JW) won his Junior class and was awarded Reserve Best in Show and Best Opposite Sex in Show!

Ramona (Manchela Ramona JW) won her Open Bitch class and did one better and won BEST IN SHOW!

We came home with a nice addition to the Manchela household: Gilcar Crystal Blue (Pheobe) has come to stay with us for a while to try to learn some showmanship skills and how to eat properly. Pheobe is out of Manchela Crystal Maze, by Sh Ch Glowhill Silver Spur. Our thanks to Gill and Charlotte for letting Pheobe come to stay
