"Love is stronger than death even though it can't stop death from happening, but no matter how hard death tries it can't separate people from love. It can't take away our memories either. In the end, life is stronger than death." Author unknown.

Unfortunately we were unable to attend today's Championship Show, the first show entered for a long time, due to a family crisis... To brighten up a horrible day We were delighted to hear from David and Judith Marsh direct from the show with the great news that Quintavia Sugar Plum at Sayajirao was placed 2nd in Junior and is now qualified for Crufts 2010! Tiffany will now join Phoebe David and Judith's other Quintavia girl at Crufts 2010. Well done to you all, I am so proud of you and your commitment to showing your Quintavia Girls x

Many Thanks to those judges that have encouraged David and Judith. 

Fortunately we have our lovely dog's to concentrate on and take our minds off life's stresses and strains and we managed to get this lovely photo of Quintavia Don't Stop Me Now and Quintavia Stop And Stare. The 2nd generation of cockers bred by Chelsea here at Quintavia.

I took these lovely photo's of my Special Man Ringo today... Looking good aged 7 1/2 years!

I came across the following quote the other day whilst sat at the computer after speaking to a friend about a recent encounter she had at a show. No two people will have the same opinion about anything in life and nor should they but unfair and unnecessary criticism hurts... perhaps we should all think a little more about other peoples feelings and treat others how we would like to be treated?

Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? Matthew 7:3

I took this photo of Quintavia Phoebe At Sayajirao at Cheshire show this weekend. Bred by us in 2005 Sired by Quintavia Quantum Leap out of my lovely Wilma. Phoebe was meant to stay with us but as is usually the case we had several show quality/show winning dogs here and we decided to let David and Judith Marsh have Phoebe which was their first Cocker Spaniel. Phoebe welcomed David and Judith's 2nd cocker Quintavia Sugar Palm into her home in 2008 and both girls are very much loved and well cared for by David and Judith.

Phoebe is now qualified for Crufts for life and is very typical of the youngsters Stan (Quintavia Quantum Leap) is siring.

Not really news but I thought I would add some photo's of Stan taken today. Stan has had to take a back seat as far as showing is concerned  for the last couple of years to make way for the youngsters. He is quite happy to stay at home with his best mate Ringo and entertain the odd lady! they have been together since Stan was born when Ringo was 6 months old and they have been best pals ever since sharing their beds and our home and we love them both dearly.

Stan has always had a very profuse coat and we have been working hard to get him back into show trim, there is still a bit more to do and as soon as his coat is ready he will be back in the show ring with the rest of the show team.

A wonderfully exciting and exhausting day today at Crufts, THE show of the year! Once again it was lovely to see so many of our friends who came along to cheer us on and say Hello, your support is very much appreciated.

We had Sid, Ribbon and Lacey entered today. I am incredibly proud of our dogs and I am grateful to them for allowing Chelsea and I to enjoy our hobby. Sid and Ribbon were both handled by Chelsea and what a fantastic job she did with both of them and was placed 2nd in Graduate Dog with Sid and 2nd in Limit Bitch with Ribbon. It was very emotional watching Chelsea stride around that big green carpet handling our dogs with such skill and showing such kindness to her Charges. Thank You Chelsea, I am very proud of you.

"Never allow anyone to rain on your parade and thus cast a pall of gloom and defeat on the entire day. Remember that no talent, no self-denial, no brains, no character, are required to set up in the fault-finding business. Nothing external can have any power over you unless you permit it. Your time is too precious to be sacrificed in wasted days combating the menial forces of hate, jealously, and envy. Guard your fragile life carefully. Only God can shape a flower, but any foolish child can pull it to pieces" - Og Mandino

A great start to a new show year today at Rotherham and District Cocker Spaniel Club Open Show... Quintavia Star Stopper was Reserve Best In Show! I think he is maturing well and we had a few lovely comments about Sid today which we really appreciate. The rest of the show team had a good day too...Chelsea's Lacey and Ribbon were 1st in their classes and our new solid youngsters Quintavia Rock Star and Quintavia Rock N Rose made their debut in the minor puppy classes and were both placed 2nd which I was more than happy with. It's been two years since I showed a puppy and boy was it hard work! Both are extremely happy, bouncy babies and we love them both dearly!

Many Thanks to today's Judge Marcia Kennedy and the committee for a lovely day.
