Breed Notes for June 2002

Carolyn Allward-Chebsey too has reason to celebrate,  Lorahs Jazz Master was taken back to S Africa by Eileen and Neville Bates and now has gained his S African title. Jazz Master is the Carolyn's first overseas champion and her second in the breed, the first of course being UK Ch Lorahs Spellbinda.

At Southern Counties Bitch CC and BOB went to Liz and Alan Bartam's home bred Burghbridge Our Princess, I believe a first for her, she is by Ch Corralyn Scottische out of Burghbridge Hilare. Liz and Alan have been thrilled with the number of cards and congratulations they have received from fellow exhibitors and say that this has doubled the enjoyment they felt at this win. Dog CC went to Mary Whitehill's home bred  Amicae Rudi Bare, I believe possibly a first also for him although he has of course this year had quite a number of Best Puppy awards to his credit. He is  by Sunshoo Imapaddington Bear with Graycaz out of Kingshaven Quazy Rhythm. Reserves went in dogs to Sandy Munn's well known Ch Ringlands Hologram, bred of course by Norma and in bitches to Caroline Lee Farnsworth's Ch Graycaz Blissful Thinking in bitches. Best Puppy was Michelle Osborn's Tykkydewas Rowanberry.

At Three Counties  Bitch CC, her second,  and BOB went to  Irene Water's Vella Ennis, bred by the late Toni James and by Glasafon  Successor out of Vella Evergreen. Dog CC went to Mrs Back's Kazkell Tai Chi, a first for dog and possibly also for owners, he was  bred by Karen Maskell and is by Bobbards Hunky Dory out of Palmosa Clochmerle Reserves went to Irene and Glenn Robb's Ch Kingshaven Principal Boy at Gleniren  in dogs and Sue Stanbury's Inixia Jack's Jewel in bitches. Best Puppy was Sue Stanbury's Inixia Party Poppet.

At the Papillon Club of Ireland Championship Show Bitch Green Star and BIS went to Marion Sloan's Sunshoo I'm A Starlett bred of course by Carolyn and David Roe. Dog Green Star went to Dolly Kavanagh's well known Ir & UK Ch Denemore Forbidden Treasure. Reserves went to Marion's Austrene Once Upon A Time in dogs and  Mr. & Mrs. Beck's Baladora Mark of Elegance in bitches. On the same day as the Papillon Club Show was the Irish Toydog Society Championship Show where this time BOB and Dog Green Star went to Forbidden Treasure with I'm A Starlett taking the Bitch Green Star. I understand this gave her her Irish Title and that she is the first Papillon bitch this year to be made up in Ireland. Reserves went to Margaret Widera's Oldcourt Captain Kid at Balamunch in dogs and  Dolly's Snowlord Swiss Maid for Serenglade in bitches.

Denise Welsh's Jadedoran Paris, known as  Harlie the Magnificent continues to shine in agility, at the Supa Dogs Agility Show she won the Senior Agility Class and is now an Advanced Senior Mini.

At the Blackburn & District Canine Association Open Show Helen and Marion Verity's 16 month old  Macstrak Minuet took BOB and went on to RBIS.

Shirley Colyer had a good weekend with her young puppy, Cendals Mischevious Lord for Shirando, bred by Wendy Clark.  At the Suffolk Agricultural Two Day Open Show he took BPIB and went on to RBPIS 2nd Day and the following day at Three Countries won Puppy Dog.

Carolyn and David had been unable to make up their mind which of Imacaptain Scarlet, or Ritchie as he is known at home, and his brother to keep so ended up running both on. At the time they came to make their ring debut Carolyn and David were in the middle of moving home as a result of which they were unable to give either the training they would have wished and Glenn Robb offered to take on Encore which he did of course with much success. Carolyn eventually managed to give Ritchie some training and although he was shown lightly last year on several occasions he ended up getting the Reserve CC to his brother, as is often the case the one brother, Encore, matured quicker than the other. Now clearly Ritchie has come into his own, and what a way to win your first CC.

Needless to say Carolyn and David are over the moon, unfortunately David was unable to be present at the show although he was fortunate in being able to enjoy some of the excitement as the BIS scene was being avidly described to him at the time over the telephone by Hazel Barr. Hazel apparently did not need to tell David Ritchie had gone all the was, David guessed it by the roar that went up and the fact that Hazel became quite speechless!! Carolyn and David have been overwhelmed by the telephone calls and cards of congratulations and would like to thank everyone for their support, especially those Scottish folk who travelled back to the show on the Final Day to lend their support.

Bitch CC went to Sue Stanbury's Inixia Jack's Jewel, I believe her first, and she is by Inixia Jack The Lad out of Jadedoren Let's Party to Inixia. Reserves were Caroline Lee Farnsworth's Ch Graycaz Green Is Envy in dogs and her Ch Graycaz Blissfull Thinking in bitches. Best Puppy went to Lynflyer Lady In Red.

News from the Irish circuit, at the Swords & District Canine Club Championship Show Dog Green Star and BOB went to Dolly Kavanagh's Ir & UK Ch Denemore Forbidden Treasure, Bitch Green Star to Dolly's  Snowlord Swiss Maid for Serenglade from Puppy. Reserves went to Caroline Woods-Cox's Sunshoo I'm A Hollywood Hero at Carasweet in dogs and Mr. F. Cousins' Vandyke Ermine in bitches. From the Munster Agricultural Championship Show Dog Green Star and BOB was Mrs. J. Kilpatrick's Sonsirae Right 'N' Royal, Bitch Green Star was Mr. & Mrs. R. Beck's Baladora Mark of Elegance, again from the Puppy Class. Reserves went to Mr. & Mrs. R. Beck's Baladora French Mahogany in dogs and in bitches to Mr. D. & Miss E. Neally's Carrigteen Apatura Iris.

I have been asked by Joyce Allison, Secretary of the S Wales Papillon Club to mention their Championship Show which as usual will be held in October. Normally of course Dog World do not allow Breed Correspondenets to publicise forthcoming shows, their view quite rightly being that there is a place for this in the back of the Paper. However they do allow us to mention them briefly if there is something different about a show, and since this is the case here hopefully it will be permitted. I would however make the point that unless there is something unusual about a show I cannot advertise forthcoming Clubs shows. This year the S Wales Club will not be using the usual Barry venue and they have had to find a new venue for their what will be Pearl Anniversary Show. This will be held on 6 October at the Markham Sports and Leisure Centre, Blackwood, Gwent. There are going to be lots of prizes , sashes and sponsorship, Carole Hatch is donating watercolour portraits of BIS and BPIS and the show will be videoed by a professional photographer, the video, which will also include details of the pedigrees of the dogs being viewed apparently, will be available for sale after the show. Full details of what will be on offer etc can be seen in schedules which are now being sent out, if you have not received yours by 25 June give Joyce a call on  01242 583752.

At the two say Southanpton Open Show held recently BOB went to Norma and Pat's Ch Ringlands Cover Gril's Story who went on the take RBIS.

Jo Davidson-Poston's Ibstock Bright Spark for Spinillons had another good day this time at the Uxbridge & District CS Open Show. Although there were no breed classes Zeb, as he is known, took Best AVNSC and went to BIS 4, a good performance as I know this is  a very popular show.

My email is Carolyne@lorahspaps.co.uk.  Items received by snail mail have been saved, it is just the emails that have been lost.Many thanks Carolyne Allward-Chebsey. "

A number of our longer members will remember Edith and Ben Benson's daughter Margaret and will I know be as saddened as Mark and I were to hear that Mags as we knew her passed away suddenly some six weeks ago. Mark and I got to know Mags quite well during the time we used to visit Edith and Ben before they passed away and a couple of years ago we attended Mags' retirement do. Mags was very much looking forward to her retirement with the usual zest  she had and it is sad that she only had a couple of years in which to enjoy this. Although she had been feeling a little under the weather, her death came as quite a shock, Mark and I had spoken to her on the telephone only a few months before and we were tentatively making arrangements for her to come and visit, something we were all looking forward to. Unfortunately Edith and Ben's remaining children, Peter, his sister in law Floss and her son Martin who still live at the old place in Gt Burstead, had mislaid our change of address as a result of which had been unable to contact us at the time much to our regret as we would have very much liked to have paid our last respects.
