Isle of Wight Gundog 20.03.2010
For a change, this year we decided to set sail and head to the Isle of Wight for the weekend and what a beautiful place it is! We set off at 2am to be at Southampton ferry port for a 6am departure (Zzzzz)
On arrival the weather was pretty grim but we headed to the show venue, an equestrian centre in Rookley.
The weather persisted to rain all day and it was really cold!
Anyway, despite the weather we did well in our breed classes with Phoebe winning Best Puppy in Breed and Whisky getting a good 2nd in the open class. The judge was Mr Peter Pavey (Manchela)
Phoebe was also placed 2nd in the Gundog Puppy Stakes under Mr Mike Masters (Manchela)
We stayed in a lovely, friendly bed and breakfast and on Sunday the weather was glorious so we spent the day exploring some of the fantastic beaches the island had to offer, whilst doing our other hobby of Geocaching.
What a fab weekend and we hope to go back next year!
Bridgwater Premier show 28.03.2010
This was a large open show held at the Hand Stadium in clevedon. Our judge for today was Miss Ann Nugent (Nulea). Unfortunately another show in the area and the breed council meeting seemed to have affected the entry a little. Despite this the turn out (although small) was quality.
Phoebe was awarded Best Puppy in Breed and Whisky was Best of Breed!

Phoebe's mother Grace (Asquanne's Grania with Franaille JW Sh.CM) made her first show appearance since having Phoebe's litter last June and pushed really hard for BOB but had to settle for RBOB. Still a great achievement and she powered around the ring like a she owned it!!

To top off a great day, we stopped for cream teas with the Queen who was in residence! (OK so maybe I am slightly exaggerating, but we did see a blacked out Bentley with WILL 1 as the number plate!)
