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.

pictured at the bottom is Patrick being assessed on the table.

Driffield Championship Show

We made the long trip up to Wetherby to Driffield Champ Show, and it was worth while as Oz (Ashencruz Auf Wiedersehen) picked up his final Best Puppy In Breed award, his half sister Musoneri My Oh My was best puppy bitch!! Well done. He also won the Puppy Stakes overall on the fourth day and was then was runner up over the whole four days, basically 2nd out of approx 250 puppies!
He is out of the puppy classes now and moves up to join the juniors.

New puppies!

Here are three of the puppies sired by our black and silver boy Patrick out of Ashencruz Whats On (1 CC) who is pepper and salt.

There are 1 girl and 3 boys, this one being pepper and salt and the two below black and silver (the other one is black and silver but was asleep for photos!!)

This is always an exciting time when we have young ones,

looking for the next show hopeful and seeing some of them go as happy healthy pets with their new families.

Visiting part of Welsh history!!!!!

The entrance to Raglan Castle, the dogs get a well deserved walk around after the show in Wales.
