What a fab day at the the Northern Ireland West Highland White Terrier Club open show.

Lucy won Best AVNSC and Best AVNSC Puppy then took Gundog Group 2 under and the won the Puppy Group under Diane  Stewart-Ritchie then went on to take Best Puppy in Show under Robert Lamont.

Not to be forgotten Frankie, took Best of Breed, Best Puppy in Breed and Puppy Hound Group 3 under Kate Harbinson and making her ring debut at just 6 months Darci took second in her class behind our Lucy!

Dave took another BOB win at the All Ireland Bull Breeds Association show. He then went on to take 3rd in the Group.  This was his 10th Green Star of 2011 and put him in the lead for Annual Champion.

Our boys Myles and Dave went to the Irish Dachshund Club championship show today with Dave winning the Green Star

Our new pup ‘Frankie’ made her debut at Portadown Canine Club championship show and thrilled us all by not only winning Best Baby Puppy in Breed but going on to be selected Reserve Best Baby Puppy in Show.

Thanks you to breed judge Donna Francis (USA) and Best in Show judge Nicky Hammond for thinking so highly of our girl.

Frankie is just four and a half months old!

Whilst on holiday in Wales we decided to use South Wales Championship show for Matthew (Ir Sh Ch Badgersmoon The Bard of Glenariff) to make his UK debut and attend our first UK champ show in 5 years. 

So we are over the moon that Matthew not only won the Open dog class but took the Dog CC.  

Thank you to judge Mr Robin Sadler for thinking so highly of our boy.

And to his breeder and our friend Jenny Landgridge I cannot thank you enough for letting us have this super boy and for letting us stay, or should I say putting up with us, while in Wales.

Young Myles took the dog Green Star (his 4th) and Best of Breed at Carlow Championship show and then went on to win the Group under judge Mr Martin Saunders (UK).

Sadly this evening we have said goodbye to Lulu to give her peace.

Ir Ch Glenariff Bramble, was from our first litter of mini smooth dachshunds and our first champion in the breed.

 She was a character! She loved showing and just a fortnight ago went Best Veteran in Breed at the International show. I am devastated to have lost my special girl and bed buddy! Till we meet again my Lu, you will be forever in our hearts.

 A great result for the Glenariff Dachshunds on the Munster Circuit where our team collect 3 Green Stars to add to the collection.

Dave won the dog Green Star at Clomnel.

Mia at their outing since giving birth to her litter 12 weeks earlier took the bitch Green Star at Killarney.

And it was another Green Star for Dave at Tralee.

At Irish Ladies Championship show today we did it again! Best of Breed in Pointers and Miniature Smooths  

Basil then went on to 3rd in Group 7 and Dave placed 4th in his Group.

We are so proud of our boys who are currently #1 Pointer and #1 Mini Smooth in Ireland (Show Dogs Ireland)

A good dayat Bray show today.

Basil took another Best of Breed in Pointers and in Dachshunds it was young Myles who won Best of Breed.
