Chelsea and I had a great time shopping and the dogs had a successful day in the ring. All three were placed, Betty and Stan were 2nd in their classes and Scarlet was 3 rd in a strong puppy class thus qualifying for Crufts 2006.

Today saw me and the team at Rotherham Cocker Championship Show. A lovely drive up north in Autumn sunshine. Scarlet was 2nd in her class, Stan was 5th in a very strong class and my little star Betty was first in her class!

Chloe made a trip out, her first for several months. She was unplaced in one of the strongest classes of the day but gave of her best and looked really well after her rest. Another quality cocker from Peggy.

We met Milo today (Quintavia Show Stopper X Avandora Heaven Scent To Clavaire) and what a cracker he is.

Quality through and through and such good true movement. A beautiful head, good bone and excellent strong rear quarters, deep well muscled thigh and good coat....What more could you ask for! He was 5th in MPD. Jeff and Tracy are really pleased with him....so am I !!

Stan and Boo's mother Peggy was also placed, back in the ring 12 weeks after whelping a litter! What a star she is....a quality cocker with a fantastic temperament who has given me beautiful babies.

Spoilt for choice!!!!!

Introducing Niebh and Willow, another 2 beautiful pups out of Peggy and sired by Charbonnel Roulette

a mating which seems to work so well for us. Peggy and Brian are both Optigen A1 so the pups are on a good footing there too! They are 12 weeks old now and I'm sure you can see why it is difficult to choose between the two!

We were showing on Saturday 25 June at Blackpool Championship Show. Darcy made his show debut in Minor Puppy, he was unplaced but behaved impeccably! not bad for 6 months and 4 days. He moved around the ring confidently and happily so who could ask for more from a baby.

Stan showed beautifully as was placed 3rd in Open dog. This means Stan will be awarded a stud book number....Well done lad!

No more shows for us for a few weeks. We will all have a well earned rest before the Cocker Spaniel Club Championship Show 17 June.

Chelsea is taking part in the Race for Life on July 24 so she will use this time to fit in some more training. Check out her Race for Life Page, and come back here for photo's of the day.
