Another great showing day today at Lancashire Cocker Spaniel Club Open Show. Quintavia Lacey was awarded Best Puppy In Show! her second BPIS award at only 8 1/2 months! WELL DONE Lacey and Chelsea. The applause and congratulations Chelsea received after being awarded Best Puppy In Show meant a lot to us. Our children are our future and my dogs are in good hands.

Many Thanks to today's judge Glynnis Goodwin and the committee of Lancashire cocker who always run a good show with some lovely rosettes and trophy's.

Poppy is our first dog to be awarded a Junior Warrant and we are very proud of Poppy's achievement. Many Thanks to all judges who have placed Poppy and have appreciated her many fine qualities.

A log drive today for Darlington Championship show. We expected the car park to be muddy when we got there and we were warned that cars were being towed on to the car park.... We were prepared with wellingtons and raincoats but nothing could have prepared us for the mud in the show ground, it was inches deep. The rings weren't much better, very slippy and uneven but it takes more than a bit of mud to put off dog folk!

We had a good day showing but no photo's as there was not a dry bit of ground to be found. Chelsea's puppy Quintavia Lacey was again 1st in her class, Lawnswae Ribbon Lacey's mom was also 1st, Quintavia Stars In Her Eyes JW was 2nd and Sid was placed 5th so we were happy. Many Thanks to the judge George Parker.

She was 1st in the puppy class, Best Puppy In Breed, Best Of Breed, shortlisted in the adult gundog group, 1st in the puppy gundog group and then BEST PUPPY IN SHOW !! beautifully handled as always by Chelsea.

Well done Chelsea and Lacey....I am so proud of you both!

Many Thanks to judges Linda Cooper (breed judge ) and Graham Hill (group judge and best in show judge  ) and to those exhibitors who were so generous with their Congratulations.

Quintavia Stars In Her Eyes and Quintavia Star Stopper were also placed.

A lovely drive down to Brockenhurst today with Sid, Poppy and Ribbon in preparation for Bournemouth Championship show tomorrow.

After booking in to our hotel  we spent a lovely time walking the dog's at Emmerton Downs. We really enjoyed watching the wild ponies who graze happily at the road side, what a joy to see such magnificent creatures in such beautiful surroundings...

Showing was very mixed..Sid was placed 3rd in limit dog, and Poppy 5th in her class which was disappointing, considering she was so happy and showed so well, but that is showing for you ! Sometimes up and sometimes down !

Chelsea and I hope to visit the New Forest again soon without the pressure of dog showing so we can enjoy the beautiful surroundings with our lovely dog's.

03/08/08

Another championship show today at Malvern. It was lovely to see Natalie and Rob of Chapel Lane Arabians who came to find us round the dog rings. Nat and Rob were there for a championship horse show and we really appreciate then finding the time to come and see us.

A mixed day for the dogs....Ribbon was placed 3rd in her class, Poppy 5th but the star of the day was Siddy boy ( Quintavia Star Stopper ) who was 1st in the Limit dog class which I was thrilled with. Again I felt he was given fair consideration in the final line up....can't ask for more than that!

28/07/08

We travelled to Leeds today for a championship show. All of our dogs were placed, Arnie was 2nd with Chelsea handling him, and Poppy 3rd.

A busy day today as we attended the Cocker Spaniel Club Championship Show at Malvern. The weather was lovely for a change which was good news as Evesham and District Canine Society's open show was also taking place outside.

We had a great day at the Cocker Club show...Poppy was placed 2nd and 3rd in her classes. Chelsea and I were both showing our dog and bitch at the same time so I didn't get to see her handle Ribbon but I was over the moon to see her placed 2nd in Limit Bitch! This means Ribby will be allocated a stud book number and is qualified for Crufts for life! Well done Chelsea and Ribbon.

Seconds later Sid was placed 2nd in limit dog and he too will be allocated a stud book number too! So we had a really great day.

We attended Evesham's show and Poppy was placed 1st and 2nd in her classes.

Many Thanks to all Judges that have placed our dogs recently.

Another good day showing today at Tamworth And District Canine Society Open Show. Poppy did really well, she was placed 1st in all three of her classes and then beat Arnie ( Quintavia Time Lord ) and was declared Best of Breed. Arnie was 1st in his class and was Reserve Best of Breed.

Poppy was later placed 4th in the group.

09/07/08

Well after a short break from showing we attended an evening show last night at Newark. Fortunately the rain held off and we had a pleasant evening showing. Such a shame that the horrible weather spoils so many of our hobbies, but tonight we were lucky with the weather and the dogs were successful!

Poppy, Quintavia Stars In Her Eyes continues to do us proud... she is such a lovely dog to own. She was placed 1st in her 2 classes and declared Reserve Best Of Breed.

Quintavia Time Lord returned to the show ring after nearly a year away and was 1st in his class and he beat Poppy to Best Of Breed! Arnie will be shown over the summer handled by Chelsea.

Arnie is still the kennel clown here at Quintavia but he is so sweet natured and mischievous he has us all laughing at his antics. Stealing washing from the line is his latest trick!

Well done Saffie!

Apologies to our regular visitors for the recent lack of updates. We haven't attended any shows over the last few weeks due to family commitments and the arrival of new puppies. It's not been the easiest of times for us here... Chelsea and I would like to thank our friend's for their support.

Here is a photo of Patience from our Nancy and Shenmore Sunny Jim litter...what a pretty little girl she is! I certainly had to have Lot's of patience over the years waiting for an Orange Roan girl to arrive, and here she is...

Many Thanks to Jane and Andrew for allowing us to use the lovely Jimmy at stud.

No shows for us this weekend. We have had a lovely day playing with the dogs.

We managed to get a rare photo of Ringo, Quintavia Show Stopper! He may be 7 years old but rarely stands still long enough for us to get a decent photo.

As you can see he is still a beautiful dog, still in full coat and still siring lovely puppies with his happy temperament.

The weather was lovely today for our first general championship show of the year. I showed Quintavia Star Stopper and Quintavia Stars In Her Eyes and we all enjoyed our day out. Poppy was shortlisted but unplaced in a huge puppy class. Sid was second in his class to a lovely black dog who later went on to take the CC. Sid was then called in to challenge for the RCC. He moved really well and I am told looked super when stood. I felt that he was given fair consideration by the judge, for which I am most grateful for.

The photo's taken at the show were a little dark so I took this photo later at home.
