Quintavia Cocker Spaniels

Hi and welcome to my page. Here you will find some of my favourite photo's and a bit about my involvement with the dogs.

I have been handling since I was about 5/6 and started off with Junior Handling classes, where I enjoyed a lot of success, qualifying for the Junior handling Semi Finals every year until I was 16! When I was about 12, I became more interested in competing in breed classes rather than Junior Handling, and started showing Alice (Quintavia Starry Eyed.) Alice did really well in the ring qualifying for Crufts at her first championship show, where she won Best Puppy Bitch.

In 2006 after a visit to Beryl Edwards house to visit a litter sired by Quintavia Show Stopper, I fell in love with Ribbon and Beryl kindly let me have Ribbon to show. I really enjoyed my time in the ring with her and was pleased to gain a 3rd at Crufts 07. She has been well placed at all shows attended, her highlights include:

Best Puppy In Show at Cheshire Cocker Club
Reserve Best In Show at Midland Cocker Club
Best In Show at North Wales Cocker Club

Then we reach 2008...

To start off, Ribbon had a litter of pups by Classicway Chinwag at Rosbercon JW, from which we kept Lacey, and what a star she has turned out to be! To make it better I am the 'breeder' and 'owner' after becoming a registered interest in the Quintavia affix.

Ribbon had a bit of a break from the show ring after having her puppies, but she came back in style at the Cocker Club champ show in July where she gained her Stud Book Number!

Since August, I have been campaigning Lacey. Her wins include:

Best Puppy Bitch & Best Puppy in Breed at Birmingham City Champ show
BPIB, BOB, PG1 and BPIS at Rugeley and District open show
BPIS at East Anglia Cocker open Show
BPIS Lancashire Cocker open show
1st MPB Darlington Champ show
BPIB, BOB & PG3 at Coventry (Foleshill) & District Open show

I would like to thank all the judges that have given me a fair chance, it's not always easy campaigning your own dog as a youngster and I appreciate the people that have supported me. I would also like to thank Mum for giving me the opportunities I have had from a young age!

I just hope 2009 will be as exciting as this year!!
