"Bracken" wins Speciality Best Veteran In Show
On Sat 18th June 2011 the Whippet Club Of Ireland held their annual Speciality Show & "Bracken" Collooney Mamma Mia was awarded Best Veteran In Show by UK breed specialist Judge Mrs Anne Snelgrove of the "Huntinghill" affix. "Tawny" Mossbawnhill All Eyes On Me made her ring debuts that day (we had an all breed Ch show prior to this one) & managed to take Best Baby Puppy Bitch at both, "Folly" M.U Bet I Am won the Open Bitch class while her mother "Teazel" M.Turn Up The Sun was 3rd in the same class & another daughter was 4th and finally "Pebble" UK,IR,INT Ch. M.It's All Bout Me (Euro Winner 09) & her brother IR & INT Ch. M.Exclusive (Celtic Jun Winner 08) were both 2nd in their Champion classes.
"Teazel" takes BOB & Grp 3rd.
"Teazel" Mossbawnhill Turn Up The Sun took BOB & Grp 3rd at Lisburn DCC open show under judge Mr Steve Atkinson (Hollinswell) from England on Sun 29th May despite pretty awful weather conditions,which definitely were NOT ideal for whippets!!
Teazel has been very lightly shown due to her being a slow maturing bitch & us campaigning her half sister "Pebble" & daughter "Folly",despite this she has 1 UK CC & is very rarely unplaced both in the UK & Ireland on the few occassions when she has been shown..Sunday was one of those 'rare' occassions & she certainly did'nt disappoint despite the fact that it was so windy that it was very difficult to keep upright at times & the tape around the ring ended up wrapped around her legs & then in the challenge she had a loose boxer chasing her & wanting to play on her way back to the judge on the "to the corner & back" bit! lol But she obviously had done enough to suitably impress the judge & she was awarded BOB & then Grp 3rd. We are very pleased with how Teazel is looking at the minute & are hoping to campaign her more both here in Ireland & England.
Teazel's daughter "Folly" Mossbawnhill U Bet I Am (Jun Ch.) won the Grad dog/bitch class & in the Open dog/bitch class that Teazel won,her mum "Bracken" Collooney Mamma Mia was 2nd to her & 3rd was a grand daughter of Bracken's & a neice of Teazel's "Damson" Mossbawnhill Smooth As Silk For Rushden & her son "Smoke" Rushden Where There's Smoke With Mossbawnhill was 3rd in the Jun dog/bitch class.
A big thankyou to the judge Mr Steve Atkinson for braving the weather & appreciating our dogs.

"Riley" wins RDCC @ The Prestigous 'Sydney Royal' & Best Intermediate in Show on the same weekend in Australia!
We are really proud to claim that "Riley" Aus Ch. Mossbawnhill I Am Legend was RDCC (#2 Best Dog) @ the very prestigous "Sydney Royal" dog show in Australia under Mrs Hex from Canada,he was as usual handled perfectly by Sonia Turay from the 'Taejaan' team who own him & consist of Molly Rule-Steele,Alicia Taylor & Sonia Turay. "Riley" also managed to win the Intermediate class & Best Intermediate In Show under breed specialist Bo Bengston of the "Bohem" affix in America the same weekend at a speciality show.
We are very proud of what this young dog has achieved in his short career,especially considering that he has only been selectively campaigned as he is a slow maturing dog & will still take some time before he reaches his full potential...we thank Molly,Alicia & Sonia for having the patience to wait on him.
All photo's below very kindly taken by Alicia Taylor

"Timber" takes his 2nd CC in style @ Crufts!!
"Timber" Ir & Int Ch. Mossbawnhill Exclusive (CJW08) thrilled us all at Crufts by not only winning a very strong OD class of 24 but also taking his 2nd CC & ultimately BOS in extremely good company under the very well known & well respected Hound Specialist Dagmar Kenis-Pordham originally from Sweden but now living for many years in the UK. We really could'nt have asked for a better day...except that Ryan was not with me as he was at home puppy-sitting Tim's nephew's & nieces who were only 4wks old at the time & missed all the excitement! Our young B&W lad "Smoke" Rushden Where There's Smoke With Mossbawnhill also pleased us by gaining a Res (4th) in a pretty respectable Special Puppy dog class of 19.
A huge THANKYOU to the Judge Dagmar for appreciating Timber & his super movement & also for recognising that Smoke has a promising show career ahead.
Under the bitch judge Magnus Hagstedt (Swed) our breeding also held it's own as "Ash" Mossbawnhill Ltd Edition To Yialousa owned by Anita Mixides (Yialousa) was placed 2nd in a very competitive mid-limit class of 27 and Timber's daughter "Crumpet" Mossbawnhill Glamorous owned & handled by Lynne Stratton who is new to the show ring also managed a 2nd placing in another extremely strong quality class of 30 this time in post-graduate. We are very proud of both Ash & Crumpet and their successes in the ring.
There is a photo below of "Timber" winning his Crufts CC & hopefully we will post some more photo's shortly kindly supplied by Marck Goran Lorencin.
