Pebble gains her 4th CACIB at Swords Int Ch Show.

"Pebble" Ch.Mossbawnhill It's All Bout Me (EW09) gained her 4th CACIB at Swords Int Ch Show on the 20th June 09 under Per Lundstrom (Sweden),this should have given her, her Int Ch crown HOWEVER under FCI rules there must be a lapse of at least 1year & 1 day between the 1st Cacib & the last and unfortunately Pebble gained all her four inside 10mths,so will now have to wait until next year to get her title as our next Int Ch Show will not be outside the time limit either & Clonmel which would've been the next Int Show that she could've taken her Int title at (had she won the CACIB) have decided to drop the Int status this year to just Ch status,so it will be March 2010 before she can compete for another CACIB. Her litter brother "Timber" M.Exclusive (CJW08) was Res GS Dog & Res CACIB dog & "Badger" Ch.M.Better Man was 2nd in ChD class.

Congratulations!! again to "Toni" M.Celtic Legacy & his co-owners Natalia & Julia for another CAC coupled with BOB & BIG-1 at Togliatti Ch Show in Russia under judge Terenteva (Rus) on the 14th June 09.

Natalia has very kindly sent me this pic of Toni taken winning group 10.

2 CC's in the one day for litter brother & sister!

WOW! we had a bit of a "surreal" day at the Whippet Club Of Scotland Ch Show on Saturday 13th June 09 under Espen Engh (Jet's) from Norway. Litter siblings "Timber" M.Exclusive (CJW08) & "Pebble" Ch & Euro Winner 09 M. It's All Bout Me who are still only 2yrs old did "the double" and took both CC's on offer!!!!! To say we were thrilled would be a total understatement....but we were!! (and I can't think of any other way to describe it!!) the entry was a very respectable quality one of 190,so they did it in good company. Pebble ended up BIS! & Timber was BOS we also got two second placings with our other entries "Badger" Ch M.Better Man & his son "Cedar" M.Better Son.

I think we can safely say that it was a day that we wont forget ...EVER!!

Our thanks goes to the judge Espen Engh for appreciating both of our dogs.

And Dale is owned and handled by Tony Ennis from Ireland we are thrilled with all the achievements but especially so with Dale as he is very sparsely shown due to Tony's work commitments (he works for ex jump jockey turned trainer Charlie Swan bringing on his young racehorses)

Badger & Pebble do the "double" for the third time!!!

What a great day we had on Sunday 3rd May,it was our "Mini-Circuit" this bank holiday weekend but seeing as we have puppies at home & our "puppy sitter" could only look after them for the one day we could only do the one show,so we setled on the Int Show which was hosted by Fermoy Canine Club,the judge was breed specialist Elizabet Janzon from the "Wolftone Kennel" in Sweden and she was a very strict judge indeed awarding very few Excellents (only four overall in fact!) we managed to win all our classes including "Cedar" M.Better Son in JD,"Timber" M.Exclusive (CJW 08) in OD,"Badger" Ch M.Better Man in ChD and "Pebble" Ch M.It's All Bout Me in ChB,Pebble & Badger then went on to do the "double" this is the third time that this duo have done this and all under Continental judges,they took both GS's (green stars) & both CACIB's,Badger went BOB & also managed a Grp 2nd under Saija Juutilainen from the "Wallaby's" Saluki Kennel in Finland.We were beaten for Grp 1st by our friend Jo Amsel with her lovely Italian Greyhound "Mimi" Artmeis Call Me Madam who is both a Uk & Ir Ch.

Berri finally comes home!

On the same day as Squiffy left us our own "Berri" Doce Gabana di Mahana Avec M. finally came home from Germany. Our heartfelt thanks goes to Werner Demmerling & Joachim Bartusch of "Gentle Mind" kennel for taking such great care of her for us.

Berri is such a beautifully,even tempered bitch with a lot to love about her and after having a rather rough start in life we know that she will live out the rest of it with us & our "pack". And in a way she is coming home as her dam "Betsi" Gwendariff Blonde Serenade was born in Northern Ireland as she was bred by Albert & Marlene Ritchie of the Gwendariff kennels.

A couple of candid pics of Berri are below.

Berri is the 2nd dog in from the rhs of the pic.

Sunny gets a new home & a new name.

We said a sad goodbye to "Sunny" M.Better By Far who has now become "Squiffy" on the 5th March 09 he has now gone to his new home in England. Squiffy was the young dog who came back to us before Christmas,he was from our last litter and due to an unforseen change in his previous owners circumstances they found that they had to rehome him & got in touch with us.

He is now owned & loved by Corinne Harris and lives with her "pack" who have now become Squiffy's new family,we are really pleased that he has settled so well with them and a HUGE THANKYOU goes to Corinne for offering Squiffy such a wonderful,loving forever home. We hope he will be a super addition to your "pack" & brings you lots of future happiness and we wish you all lots of fun & luck.

Some pics of Squiffy and "friends" below,as you can see he has slotted straight in!

Squiffy is the parti on the LHS of the pic.

New litter due end of March

"Timber" Mossbawnhill Exclusive (CJW 08) has been mated to "Teazel" Mossbawnhill Turn Up The Sun and hopefully all being well their litter will be due around the end of March.

We decided to do this mating as we felt that Timber complimented Teazel exceptionally well & therefore we are hoping for a very "typy" litter of moderate sized,good quality puppies.And as both parents also have excellent sound movement in all directions we are anticipating these puppies will do too.

If you are interested in a puppy from this forthcoming litter please contact us through the "contact page" on this website.

Thankyou.
