Today, at the City of Birmingham Championship show Ice (Arnscroft Kiss and Tell Di for Sturtmoor won her 3rd CC (Challenge Certificate).  This makes her a UK Champion (subject to confirmation).  Ice is just under 18 months old, so this is no easy feat for any dog, let alone a young one!

I am also pleased to say that Ice was also short-listed in the group, this is her 2nd Best of Breed at aChampionship shows and her 2nd Group Short-list!

Ice is co-owned by Millie with Di Stirling and Sue Cale.  Millie handled Ice for a time gaining her first CC at just 8 months old, then her second at 14 months with Best of Breed (and a group Shorlist!!).  For her 3rd today, unfortunately, we were not present at the show and neither was Sue (she was on holiday), so could not share in the celebrations with Di.  Chris Cross did a wonderful job of handling Ice, and we were thrilled to hear that she also won the first CC with her Dobermann (Nearctic Madam Pomfrey JW Sh.CM).  Way to go Bree!! :0)

Congratulations to Sue - with owning her first UK Champion, and for handling  her so well!  Ice's brother (Arnscroft Kimura Kato) owned by Di Stirling and Kathering Lindstrom, also won the Dog CC today, but was beaten by his sister for Best of Breed.

WELL DONE TO ALL!

Recent Championship shows were Paignton (2nd August) and Bournemouth (14 August).  Only Taran has attended these shows as the others were not entered.  He was 1st in Junior dog at both!  His coat is just started to grow again, so hopefully he will become more competitive once it has returned fully!

Menna and Jaydee's pups arrived today.  We are fairly certain Menna has finished with a total of 5 pups, 3 girls and 2 boys.  All are happy and healthy.
