A family affair for the Boxing Day Shoot this year with sister Kate and fiance Tom, Seth Joseph and myself with Remus and Clemence . A good day was had by all as can be seen in the photos!

What a way to end the year ...

Wow, what a way to end the year and a very fitting tribute to my girls, Linnet, Renn and Berrie.
At LKA under Ann Kilminster Remus won his Limit class and gained his third Reserve CC. His daughter Eskwinds Driving Miss Daisy to Windhollows gained a fourth in her class handled by myself as her own Nicky Colson has tangled with her horse again! Clemence won her Limit Class and Luna was third in the Open Class.
 But most fantastically I have won the Our Dogs Top Breeder 2011, the competition is based on the number of CC'S awarded to dogs bred by individual breeders. With Remus, Luna ( 2) and Clem all having been awarded CC'S this year for the Kennel this has made me Top Breeder. 

VERY PROUD !!!!

Gundog breeds of Scotland 12/11/11

The usual (with a few new) suspects headed up North to show at the Gundog Breeds and to stay at the the Granary. With the famous Glenis (Kilbourne) Curry packed along with Roz and Abby, Clem, Luna and Remus we arrived on the Friday night.
Saturday was the show and yet again the Granary proved to be lucky with Gemma taking the Dog CC and Best of Breed with Woody, Suzi Tagg  winning two classes with Sharon Hennesy's  Swantonwood Lowri, Roz won her puppy Class again with Abbey.
Clem won Limit and Luna won Open with the Bitch CC going to Clemence , making that her Second !!
All topped off to perfection with a mass walk on Yellow Craig Beach the next day !!
