FEBRUARY

Time off - no shows - we couldn't compete at Northumbria PC Ch Show as Cath (Mrs C Lawton-Anderson) is the judge for Miniatures. 

She could have picked a show further away from home!

MARCH

CRUFTS time - it was a battle of the "brothers!" Ch Navarre Is Exemplary (Jerry) has won 2 Res CCs at Crufts but this year his two sons, Calmaric Make My Day JW (Harry) won his first Veteran class & Lincoln won Open Dog for the second year in a row. Melva Nathan made Harry's day as she awarded him his 2nd CC - a day that his mum Christine Lister will never forget!!!

APRIL

Harry won his 2nd Veteran class at the Miniature Poodle Club 30th Anniversary Ch Show under Keith Nathan. But his day didn't finish there, he went on to gain his 3rd CC & well deserved title & finished Best in Show.

Now it really is a battle of the "brothers" as they are tied for Top Miniature !!!

WELKS & it was Lincoln back to the top. The judge, breed specialist Doug Kitchener, gave Lincoln the Dog CC, his 22nd, & BOB

Jerry (Ch Navarre Is Exemplary JW) is currently TOP STUD DOG

MAY

Lincoln wins the Res CC at Birmingham National under Jean Leivers

BATH time again & Lincoln takes his 23rd CC & BOB under Carol Farrow. He has never (yet!) come away from this show without the CC!

JUNE

Michandy Great Expectation by Navarre wins BOB (Donna Whinup), Utility Group 2, Utility Puppy Group 1 (Mr G Ingram) & Best Puppy in Show  (Eddie Webster) at Honley Open Show

At Border Union, Scarlett finally made her first appearance at a Ch Show & won Best Puppy - not a bad start! The judge was Ann McConnell

Blackpool Ch Show - Lincoln wins Best Dog & BOB, Harry Res Best Dog & Scarlett Best Puppy under Melanie Jones (Melucy) Scarlett was also 3rd in the Puppy Bitch Stakes (Barrie Croft) & 3rd in the Pet Plan Utility Junior Stakes (Geoffrey Davies)

 JULY

 Windsor Ch Show - Ch Navarre To The Extreme JW ShCM won his 24th CC & BOB. The judge was Marita Rodgers who had awarded him the Res CC when he was 7 months old. So glad that she still loves him!  Meanwhile the "brat" Michandy Great Expectation by Navarre was Best Puppy Bitch & then to our absolute delight took 1st in the ProPlan/Dog World Pup of The Year Stakes, was made the days winner & on our return on sunday was declared as the Overall Winner by the fabulous judge David Guy thus qualifying for the Finals next January - wow!

East of England - it was a case of "if you can do it, so can I" Lincoln won the Res Dog CC so Scarlett decided to win the Res Bitch CC & Best Puppy - again. She certainly charmed the judge Eileen Geeson.

At Leeds Ch Show, madam turned on the charm again to win her 2nd Res CC under Penny Jones

AUGUST

What a day at the Welsh KC Ch Show. After "chilling out" for 12 days in the caravan it was time to show again,& show Scarlett certainly did! She hit the big time winning the Bitch CC, BOB & Best Puppy under breed specialist Angie Harry-Griffiths. Although unplaced in the Utility Group she wasn't fazed by it, showing her heart out & still full of trouble!

Next was Poodle Club of Scotland Ch Show. Lincoln won the Res Dog CC & Scarlett was Best Puppy in Show.
