EAST, WEST.... HOMES' BEST

Dennis Homes (Leogem) judged the Eurodogshow in Kortrijk,Belgium and from the pictures and report he sent, it looks like he had a lot of fun in and out of the ring.

Best of Breed and the CACIB went to the Blenheim dog Heart of Speed Des Precieuses Pierresowned and bred by Marlene Mouillon. Already a French Champion and this win made him an International Champion. Best Opposite Sex went to the Tricolour bitch JustAn Illusion Des Princes de la Forêt Noire(which in English is ‘Just an illusion of the Princes of the Black Forest’). She is owned and bred by Isabelle Daussin.

Best Junior Female was Ocean Of Happiness Oh Pretty Woman owned by Wendy Van Bael

The food at the judges' banquet was presented in a real stylish way...and at the hotel a truly "canine dessert" was served.

After a spell in Gloucester Royal Hospital it is good to know that Alan Hall (Alansmere) is now at home recouperating. He had a silent heart attack and has been fitted with a stent to ease the pressure on his heart. Friends of Alan will be well aware he will want to be up and about as soon as possible...am sure with his buoyant personality we will see him back with us and around the ring soon. This photo was taken earlier this year when he celebrated his 87th birthday. Take care andhaste ye back, Alan

FUN IN THE SUN

The Facebook Group 'Cavalier Chat NZ'had another successful event on Saturday 14th November. A Play Date and shared picnic lunch was hosted by Jan & Andrew Eatock (Darilance Cavaliers) on a sunny spring day in the scenic Waikato region of New Zealand. It was well attended with Cavaliers all enjoying socialising, playing chase in the paddock, and using the agility equipment. With regular events held throughout the year the group covers a wide range of Cavalier owners from companion to competition and breeders across New Zealand. Sounds like a fun group

A Cavalier graces the front of the schedule for Douai All Breeds Canine Society (Northern France) for their show in June next year. From past pictures, it promises to be a well organised, utterly entertaining event!

Peter Gustafsson (Vouges) travelled from his home in Gothenburg, Sweden to judge the Cavalier classes and some other Toy Breeds at the NEETDS show held in South Shields. A great entry awaited him. Ted Rogerson's 9 year old grand daughter Maggie swept the boards and handled Rabymar Love Potion to Best Bitch and Best of Breed.
