News

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

Attended this high profile calender event with the three youngsters:

– Manchela Paco Rabanne (Zorro) was launched at this show and won a creditable 3rd in Minor Puppy – he showed his heart out, couldn’t ask for more.

– Manchela Ramona (Ramona) won a 3rd and a 2nd in very strong classes – beginning to know what she is doing (or so she thinks)

– Manchela Tiger Tim JW (Timmy) exceeded all our expectations and won 1st in his puppy class, Best Puppy Dog and the ultimate award of BEST PUPPY IN SHOW – really love this young man

Our heartfelt thanks must go to the Judges; Dogs -Mr Michael Parkinson (Dillonpark), Bitches – Mr Duncan Craig (Alisma) and to all our friends for their support and kind messages.

Congratulations to all the winners

All the dogs showed so well and never put a foot wrong – we always take the best dogs home, whatever!!!

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
