Monday, August 6, 2012 at 10:32PM What a brilliant day we had at Paignton Championship Show yesterday - 5 August. Breed Specialist Jean Bates was the judge on the day and she awarded Foster his first Challenge Certificate and Best of Breed. Only 2 more and Foster can claim the crown of Show Champion. To me it was like winning Gold at the Olympics, a day to remember.
It was great that Steve was with me and also my great friend Di came along and John together with JD - Sh Ch Oakberrow Xsepshunall at Southmead. I would also like to thank everyone for their congratulations.
On a sad note - my sister Carina was not there to be witness to Foster's success. Cannot believe that it is a year since she died. I am sure that she would have been as delighted as I was with Foster.
So thanks Jean and roll on the next 2!!!!

Monday, July 23, 2012 at 1:28PM I am very excited as tomorrow - Tuesday - I am judging the Ryeland Sheep at the Royal Welsh Show. This is a great honour, to me it is equal to judging at Crufts in the dog world.
Judging will take place at 9am and I have a huge entry of what I know will be top quality sheep. Some 95 sheep to be judged!
Steve and I will be heading off early in the morning to ensure that we arrive in good time. Royal Welsh web is www.rwas.co.uk .
Great that the weather has taken a turn for the better - not sure what the yellow round object is in the sky and blue sky as well!!!
STOP PRESS - Gin - our Hungarian Wirehaired Vizslas - is in whelp, see planned litters.
Sunday, June 3, 2012 at 8:30PM The start of sheep showing season is upon us. We started off at the Smallholders Show at Builth Wells where Noble won 3rd in his class and Caroline and my Oakberrow Pizzazz won 3rd in a strong shearling class. The beautiful Antonia - Greyfaced Dartmoor - won a creditable 2nd at her very first show!
The next week we attended Shropshire County Show http://shropshirecountyshow.com/ and had a great day winning Male and Breed champion with Dolwen Noble, 1st and Reserve Female Champion with our ewe lamb whose sire is the fabulous Juggis Laser. The Dartmoors also did well with Apollo winning third, Antonia 4th and baby Lara 4th.
We then set off down to the Royal Bath and West Show http://bathandwest.com/ . Russell Howell was the judge and we are up against the legendary Richard Wear. I did manage to beat Richard in the Ewe lamb class so our little girl won her class and gained a 2nd Reserve Female Champion. Noble and Pizzazz both were 2nd in their class and the shearling ewe 3rd. We were also 2nd in the group of 3 and 2nd in the pairs. Also Russell nominated Noble as Reserve Male Champion, so all in all a great day.
Today we have been sorting which of the sheep are going to Three Counties Show - 15/17 June - so come along and see. New for the show this year - Ladies Day on Friday and Kids go Free on Saturday. www.threecounties.co.uk.

I realise that I have not covered the Labradors on my web site, but I do own 4 and they are 2 black labradors - Tammy and Beamish and my yellow Labradors are Caffrey and OB - again continuing the theme of alcohol! Caffrey is mum to both Beamish and OB whose dads are both Field Trial Champions. OB's dad is Ft Ch Tasco Alexander Beetle. A friend of mine from many years ago asked if he could use OB at stud to his yellow bitch Roxy and the 2 did the deed and 6 lovely puppies were born on 9 April. There are still a few of the pups for sale so interested do get in touch and I will pass your details onto Colin and Sam.
