A very damp day out for Welsh Kennel Club where the rain got progressively worse throughout the day!
We were under cover and the weather was fairly good whilst the judging took place. Our ring was a little too narrow to turn easily at the end and not that level. The dogs and owners all seemed to cope well.

DCC and BOB was my own Zoraden Love Man JW, taking his 2nd CC, he now has 2CC and 4RCCs.
BCC was Clare Boggia's Whirlaway Boughton Big Bang, handled beautifully by Roisin Howlett. This was Pandora's 1St CC after many RCCs.
RDCC and BVIB was Maggie Holder's and Dave Howe's Ch Boughton Blakeney ShCM.
RBCC Bob and Elaine's Newsham's Ch Europa Decuma Via Windspiel.

BPIB was Claire and Helen's Rishworth Out of the Blue Ad Honores, who went on to win Puppy Group. A fabulous critique for her online from Puppy Group Judge Nick Gourley and I watched her put in a great performance on the live stream of BPIS.

30.07.19
Jenny Startup had an entry of 19 greyhounds at Leeds with one absentee.
It seemed quite a long wait being 3rd in the ring.
The ring was just large enough for the greyhounds to move out and felt quite a difference to me; after being in much larger ring earlier on in the day with the whippets.

The greyhounds had two lovely places in the stakes with Kathy Spacey's Inchydoney Memories North Star at Halliams coming 3rd in the Pets as Therapy stakes under Albert Wight.
Sue Shakespeare's Zoraden a Little Tenderness with Cairdean was 2nd in the Good Citizens stakes under Mr B Croft.
Both had very large entries and a good amount of prize money too!


Dog CC and BOB was Mrs L & Miss C McLaughan Ch Boughton Balance Of Power At Azrams
RDCC & Best Veteran in Breed was Mrs M A Holders & Mr D B Howes Ch Boughton Blakeney Sh.CM
BCC was Mrs E Newsham's UK Europa Decuma Via Windspiel (Imp)
RBCC was Mrs E Newsham's Windspiel Northern Stilo
BPIB and Best Speical B in Breed Mrs K Nutter's Nordic Queen, they later came 4th in the Special Beginner's Group under Mr T Mather.

Thanks to Lorraine Fitzgerald for the following information - Mrs I Horner (Bokoto) awarded Slippery Louise of Adachi Best AVNSC at Dorset County CS last Sunday. Lucky show for these two as they were awarded Reserve Best AVNSC last year, great result for her owner Jade Browne and her racing bred greyhound.

The Barley kennels spent Saturday night at the Peterborough Racing Stadium promoting their black greyhounds with their "50 shades or black" slogan. The greyhounds used their charms and hopefully some more will go to the homes they deserve, they also raised some funds for the Peterborough Greyhound Trust.

Over the week Helen Wayman did a facebook raffle in aid of the Barley Kennels and Karmas Cave Greyhound Sanctuary.
Helen had won a Tuffies bed herself and kindly donated it for the raffle.
The raffle sold very quickly and raised £150 for each charity.

No CC's next sunday for greyhounds at Paignton, there is an entry of three dogs in four classes for Mrs J Cooper, second in the ring after Wire-Haired Dachshund.

Any news please let me.

At Southampton Show this weekend; Michaela Howlett's - Skyswift Moonlight Serenade won Best of Breed under judge Lorraine Fitzgerald, Hound Group 1 under judge Richard Morris on the Saturday.
They returned to compete for Best in Show on Sunday and had a wonderful result with Reserve Best in Show under judge Sue Wilkinson.
Some lovely sunny photos on facebook as well as rosettes and a trophy. Well done!

On Sunday I travelled three hours to Oswestry Open Show and had the pleasure of judging a young greyhound male in the AVNSC puppy class.
I later found out this was Elaine Bogart's new import - Ina's Fashion Exalted at Incitatus at his first show
I was delighted to award him Best AVNSC Puppy and Puppy Group 1.
It was a lovely show, set in very large showground and the weather held out, not being too hot or cold.
I later made friends with Elaine on facebook and again some photos of the day.

At the Great Northern Greyhound Gathering, Best in Show for the second year running was Adele Thompson's boy - Puppy Eyes at Muicks (Eric). Congratulations!

Sorry if I missed any results as I said happy to receive any greyhound news.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at Leeds on Sunday, an entry of 19 under Miss J Startup, we have 11 classes with Special Beginners being mixed sex. We are third in the ring behind Basenji and Finnish Spitz which gives me time to show my whippet puppy first!
