NEW Ch..Fin & Nor Ch Mossbawnhill Dream On (Fin JW 07)

We are absoloutley thrilled to announce that we have another NEW CH.....Fin & Nor Ch Mossbawnhill Dream On (Fin JW 07)!!

"Fallow" is owner handled by Aino Makela in Finland who is also delighted with "Fallow's" achievments,especially considering that this was her first show after her 2nd birthday that she could actually gain her title! (In Finland a dog has to be 2yrs old or over BEFORE he/she can get Ch status..."Fallow turned 2yrs on the 27th Oct) She had 8 CAC's but was unable to get her title until this show,so you can imagine it was a very tense time for all concerned.The Show was on the 23rd November 08 at Jyvaskyla it was an international show and the judge was an Ursula Langer (Ger).

This is actually the 2nd Ch from this small litter of five & a brother is hopefully not too far away from making that THREE!!!

WELL DONE & MANY CONGRATS AINO & FALLOW!!

Mossbawnhill Dream On (Fin JW 07) continues her winning ways

Aino & "Fallow" Mossbawnhill Dream On (Fin JW 07) are still managing to continue to appeal to the Judges eye as yesterday at Ylivieska Int Ch Show in Finland under Paula Heikkinen-Lehkonen (Fin) she was 3rd Best Bitch with an Exc and Res-CAC.

WELL DONE Again!!

Mossbawnhill's Better Boy first show

Mossbawnhill's Better Boy "Ridge" owner handled by Jean Dickenson (Ribblesmere) made his debut at the East Of England Ch Show (15th July 08) he did very well and managed to get a VHC placing in the MPD class under Pat Dufty of the Triken Kennel (UK). WELL DONE to you both Jean & Ridge!!

This litter have surprised us as although they have an almost totally 100% American pedigree they are definitely going to be well within the height guidelines set down by the English KC (in fact they look set to be the smallest whippets that we have bred to date!) they are also quite immature and that is something that both Ryan & myself like to see in the Minor Puppy classes as very often a lot of breeders are turning out babies that look like Juniors or older & are finished well before they are a year old.

Mossbawnhill Dream On (Fin JW 07) makes it a double this weekend

WOW!! What a weekend this pair are having! HUGE CONGRATULATIONS must go to Aino & "Fallow" M.Dream On (Fin JW 07) who have managed to take another CAC today (13th July 08) this follows fast on the heels of their CAC yesterday.

Today's show was Oulu All Breeds and Fallow was owner handled as always by Aino Makela the Judge was Monique Van Brempt (Belg) & along with the CAC Fallow also went BOB and then under Grp 10 Judge Lars Adeheimer (Swed) she took BIG 4, this has been quite a weekend for the pair and we are thrilled for them...keep up the good work girls & THANKYOU for flying the "Mossbawnhill Flag" in Finland so well for us!!
