TOP PUPPY 2009

To add to winning "Top Stud" in 2009, "Ashencruz" also won the title of "Top Puppy" for 2009.
This was won by Ashencruz Auf Wiedersehen (Oz) which means he was the most consistent winner in puppy over the year!!It was a very tough year as competition was very good!! We are thrilled and hope he continues his success into 2010.

Miniature Schnauzer Club Champ Show and "Time Off!"

Phoebe "Rocksville Going Around" pictured winning Reserve Best Puppy In Show at the Miniature Schnauzer club Champ Show.

Midland Counties ended our show year for 2009, Oz won a very strong junior dog class.
We had the Miniature Schnauzer club Championship Show a few weeks previous where our young bitch "Rocksville Going Around" won a puppy bitch class with an entry of 19!
She won Best Puppy Bitch and Reserve Best Puppy in Show!!! (pictured above)

We have a break of nearly five months before any more shows which is great for the dogs, but we had a fantastic 2009 with our youngsters.
