December 11: As very sad day for us all here as we had to say goodbye to our dear old Arran (Shenmore Star Voyager) at the age of 14 1/2. Sleep tight, Arran - we will miss you very much.

December 4: London Cocker Ch Show. At the last show of the year for us, Shayla was 1st in Postgraduate Bitch (Judge: Mr D Telford)
October 28: Midland Counties Ch Show. Shayla went to her first show after a long break (due to lack of coat) and was 1st in Postgraduate Bitch & also considered for the RCC in a quality entry (Judge: Mrs L Cartledge)
September 18: Jane enjoyed judging dogs at the Swedish Cocker Spaniel Club Championship Show where her Best Dog (and RBIS)was the striking, free moving black & white, SU(u)CH DKUCH Backhills New Design. Best Bitch & BIS judged by Linda Crowley was the lovely blue roan bitch, Allert's Corona. Thanks to the committee for their wonderful hospitality and all the exhibitors for entering their dogs!

March 14: Crufts Ch Show. Jimmy was placed VHC in the strong Limit Dog class but was outshone today by his young daughter, Shayla who won Post Graduate Bitch and then the RCC under Frank Kane (following in the footsteps of her Mum, Siani, who won the RBCC at Crufts in 2005) Another Jimmy daughter, Sonham Blue Belle, was 3rd in Undergraduate Bitch - well done Alison!
