Mossbawnhill Dream On (Fin JW 07) does it again
We are thrilled to learn today (12th July 08) that "Fallow" Mossbawnhill Dream On (Fin JW 07) was 2nd Best Bitch,took another CAC & Res CACIB at Oulu International Show (Finland) under judge Lars Adeheimer (Sweden) this actually gives her enough to be a Finnish & Norwegian Ch but unfortuantely the rules over there state that one CAC must be gained after the dogs 2nd birthday so she will have to wait until after the 27th October to claim her final CAC & crown!
This super team also won the Pohjois-Pohjanmaa District Junior Handling Championships judged by Rob Douma (Neth)
Many CONGRATS to you both girls,it is well deserved!!

Moss wins the whippet racing at the NIWWC Show
We were made extremely proud by our lovely senior boy "Moss" who yesterday (27th April 08) at the Northern Ireland Working Whippet Club Show won his heat and then went on to win overall in the whippet racing...we had'nt raced him since he was in his prime at 3 yrs old but decided to bring him out of retirement one last time as he enjoys it so much,he has now returned to his comfy sofa!! He also managed to get a 2nd place in the "working type" show class too! Incidently Moss is almost 9 YRS OLD!! and had to beat dogs less than half his age,so not bad going for an old timer.
And "Teazel" Mossbawnhill Turn Up The Sun also won her heat (kinda by default,as she was the only one to finish!! LOL) and was 3rd in the final. But we were still pleased with this as she has never chased a lure before.

This year as we have the litter on the ground we decided not to exhibit at Crufts ourselves,so I flew over to stay with a close friend (Anita from the Yialousa Kennel who owns Beau & Ash "M.

A big WELL DONE to Rush who was a star and took it all in her stride!
Today (8th Dec 07) Fallow gained her first title under Age Gjetnes (Nor),she is now Finnish Junior Winner 2007! This was especially sweet for me today as it is my birthday,so thanks for a great present!We are so proud of both her and Aino, her owner. A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to you both and also to Salla who expertly handled her as Aino was stewarding in one of the other rings.
The same weekend that Fallow went Junior BOB we travelled over to England to a Whippet Breed Show where M.It's All Bout Me "Pebble" was entered into a Limit Bitch class for the very first time,she is only 13mths and usually the bitches in this class would be adults but we felt that she could cope okay...how right we were! Pebble was 3rd out of an entry of 37 other bitches who were all older than her,Frank Kane (UK) was the judge and he thought that she would go far as she matured.We were extremely happy with this result and it made the long journey well worthwhile!!
At the weekend (Nov 17th/18th 07) in Finland under Jill Peak (UK) M.Dream On "Fallow" was handled by her owner Aino Makela to a very respectable class win with an Exc and then on to Junior BOB out of 20 whippets. We are very pleased with how this young lady is doing for her owner and wish them continuing success! WELL DONE to you both.
At NWA Open Show on the 4th Nov 07 under Judge Claire Rishworth (UK) Mossbawnhill She's Eleqtric At Salatini (Ellie) won Open Bitch then took Best Bitch and topped it all off with going BIS!! Many Congratulations to Nik and of course Ellie herself!
At Seinajoki (Finland) under Robert Paust (USA) on the 21st Oct 07 Mossbawnhill Dream On (Fallow) took a RCC,this followed on the heels of her first CC gained earlier this month. Congratulations Aino and Fallow!!
Yesterday (7th Oct 07) we heard that Mossbawnhill She's Eleqtric At Salatini (Ellie) was 2nd in a very strong MLB class at SYWC Ch Show,the judge was Barbara Illingsworth-Anderson (Birkonbrae..UK) ...WELL DONE!! Nik & Ells!
...Just got these results through from Darlington Ch show where we are thrilled to learn that under breed specialist Mrs Di Morgan (Meandi) Mossbawnhill Ltd Edition To Yialousa (Ash) has continued her winning ways and was owner handled to BEST PUPPY IN BREED by Anita Mixides and then was shortlisted in the Puppy Group! At the same show Mossbawnhill Supersonic At Yialousa (Beau) was VHC...he is also owned and handled by Anita and Mossbawnhill She's Eleqtric At Salatini (Ellie) was 3rd in Open Bitch,she is also owner handled but by Nikki Hunter. A huge CONGRATULATIONS from us to you all!!
We have a new Ch!!...Drift (the Basenji) took his last and crowning GS at Clonmel Int Ch Show under the breed specialist Mr Christian Jounanchicot from the famous "Out Of Africa" kennel in France,he will now be given a very well earned rest for a while.
We also did extremely well with the Whippets...doing "the double" TWICE and also taking a few reserve's along the way too.Badger now only needs another one GS to gain his title and both pups have three each already and Pebble also has two Grp wins under belt too..all this and she is only 10mths old!!! We are very proud of our little teams achievements in such a short time.
We have some great news...but with a slight twist to it!
On Sunday at Monkstown Int Ch Show Drift our Basenji got his seventh Green Star which under normal circumstances would make him a Champion!! BUT in the South of Ireland we are under FCI and one of their rules is...to become a Champion the dog must have seven Green Stars under seven different judges and the last Green Star must be attained when the dog is 15mths or older...unfortunately Drift is not 15mths until the 18th of this month,so still needs to gain another Green Star,we hope to "finish" him on the Munster Circuit in 2wks time.
