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

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

Results:

Zorro won 2 x 1st’s & Best Puppy Dog, thus gaining the last points for his Junior Warrant!

Timmy won 1st in Junior dog and Ramona won 2nd in AOC Graduate bitch

Loved the idea of the shared buffet provided by the exhibitors but generally didn’t enjoy this show – we were squashed into half the hall due to double booking (I believe) and the noise was unbearable!!!! I know that others found it all entertaining but it is a dog show at the end of the day and the facilities were not suitable (IMO).

Last Championship show of the year – early start and rain all day but enjoyed the show and the atmosphere. Judging today was Joanna Darby (Classicway)

Zorro won 1st in Puppy dog and declare Best Puppy Dog

Timmy won 1st in Junior dog and Ramona won 3rd in Junior bitch

A Merry Christmas & A Happy, Properous & Lucky 2016 – see you all next year!
