Friday the 2nd October, up North again, this time to Weatherby Racecourse, a lovely venue, shame about the vile weather. So all judging was done inside.

Harvey won a lovely Limit dog class. Ginny was 4th in the Junior Bitch class and her sister Meadowdale Margarita at Ketsby was 3rd in the same class. Ginny delighted us by winning a 2nd place in the Junior Stakes and Arthur (Meadowdale Alabama Slammer at Acregate) not to be outdone was 3rd in the Junior dog Stakes

Others to do well were, Meadowdale Shooting Star, winning a 2nd place in a strong Post Graduate class.

Harvey's offspring also had a good day - Chelmeress Peter Pan at Intor won a 2nd place in Puppy dog. Woodspa Eucalyptus won a 2nd in Minor Puppy Bitch

So not a bad day in all

Friday 25th September 2009, I set off on the long journey to Belfast in Northern Ireland. Having a short stop in Liverpool to pick up Jenny and Arthur.

The ferry to Belfast was a calm and quiet affair, as it was 4am in the morning!

We had change of judge, now being Kathy Gorman.

First up was Arthur (Meadowdale Alabama Slammer at Acregate), he won the junior dog class. He is pictured right.

Next was Harvey, he was in the Open class, and was 2nd, and was called back into the Challenge and won the RCC 

Harvey has now won in total - 2 CC's, 1 BOB and 3 RCC's

Well - WHAT A DAY

Sunday 13th September 2009, Harvey, Ginny and I head south to the Richmond Championship Show.

It was a lovely day to show the dogs, certainly cooler than the day before!

Harvey was first up in Limit Dog, which I was delighted when he won this strong class.

And Delighted even further to win the DCC
- his 2nd

Ginny did well and was 3rd in her class

Early on Saturday morning on the 8th August, I head down to Bournemouth Championship Show with Harvey and Ginny. What a super day we had

Harvey was in a very strong Limit class, which he won. Later on in the challenge he delighted us by winning the 'RCC'

Ginny won a lovely 2nd place in Puppy Bitch and also won the Novice class. I later took Ginny into the 'Proplan Pup of the Year' Stakes and again was delighted to win it!
