Breed Notes for June 2004

At Bath Ch Show Sean Carroll judging made Sue Stanbery's Inixia Troysdale Time Traveller DCC and BOB, RDCC went to Norma Staff and Pat Munn's Ch Ringlands Hologram.  The BCC was Norma and Pat's Ringlands Disco Dancer At Shamal, RBCC was Banfield's Farleysbane Unsung Melody At Kingshaven  Best Puppy went to Jimmy Simpson's Penang Faberge.

 

I recieved the Schedule for the N&E Cos Papillon Club Open Show on 18th July at Thorpe Willoughby Hall Nr Selby with Martin Freeman judging Dogs and Sruart Mallard  the Bitches.  Entries close on 21st June. 

 

This is the show when those attending vote on the entries for the Calendar Competition and if you wish to enter a photograph it should be no bigger than 6"x8", the cost of entering is 50pence each and they should be accompanied by a sae for them to be returned to you.  Entries should be sent to Mrs Queenie Bruce, Mandrew, 67 Wroot Road, Finningley Doncaster DN9 3DR.  Remember that Papillons taking part in activities and getting up to no good - like the gorgeous puppy with the goose in this year's May picture - are more likely to win than carefully posed show pictures. so get snapping as the closing date is 10th July.

 

Congratulations to Elaine and Martin Davidson who became new parents with the birth of a son Kyle, 6lbs 15ozs, on 31st May ( my daughter Nicola's birthday!).  Another Junior Handler from North of the Border!

Mrs Betty Flavell made history at Southern Cos Ch Show when she gave the DCC to Sohn & Ozeki's USA Ch Cadoga Civil Action.  This being his 3rd CC makes him the firsyt Am Ch To also become a UK Ch Congratulations!  He also went BOB and was placed Group 3.  RDCC went to Jenny Scovell's Caswell Classic Tri.  BCC was Turners' Kingshaven Truly Scrumptious For Bodebi and RBCC went to Osborne's Bonifee Lady Penelope of Tykkydewas.  Best Puppy was Eileen Roberts and daughter's Rayol Aristotles. Penny Robins' Jaroma Lady Of The Glen took first in Junior at S Cos Ch which completed her Junior Warrant.

 

Once again my thanks to Eilish Neally for the following results from Ireland. At The Papillon club of Ireland it was a great day for Jo Davidson-Poston who took GSB & BOB with her Spinillons Touch Of Hope and GSD with Ibstock Bright Spark for Spinillons who is now an Irish Ch subject to confirmation Well done Jo and Zebedee!! RGSD was Killeen-King's Penang Goldenleas Rougemist at Dolcissimo RGSB Mooney's Omaonaig Flame Of Tiard.  Best Puppyy Belshaw's Belvisaj Simply Chic

 

At Munster CA Ch Show judged by Anne Fitzpatrick there was only one Green star on offer and it went to Dolly Kavanagh's Serenglade Gold Sovereign with the RGS going to Mooney's Omaonaig Fame of Maro   I think Best Puppy was Shanahan's Oldcourt Moments of Magic.

 

Liz Houghton would like to thank all the many people who sent condolences on Arthur's sudden death.  She says that she was quite overwhelmed and touched by the affection and support she and the family received. Arthur will be greatly missed by all his friends

 

I am pleased to tell you that Karen Anderson who shares the Northlyte Affix with mum Liz ( I hope you had the Derby Winner!!)  has just been married to Jim O'Kane in the Memorial Chapel Glasgow University which must have been a lovely setting for the wedding, Good Luck in the future!!

 

Papillon Club member Marian Burford is to accompany her father who landed on the D Day beaches 60 years ago, on a government sponsored visit to Normandy in July as part of the D Day Remembrance scheme. Quite an experience

.

Anne Richardson writes that Calendar Competition entries must be with Queenie Bruce by 10th July so that she has time to mount them before the show.

I was very pleased to get a telephone call from Liz Houghton and to learn that she was coping well following Arthur's passing. Although taking one day at a time she has had the support of the family around her and has also taken much comfort from the great many cards and flowers she has received from Papillon folk. She has asked me to pass on her thanks to everyone for the kindness they have shown. Hopefully Liz's friends will be able to persuade her not to stay away from the show ring for too long, in fact she may make Three Counties if not hopefully we will all see her at Blackpool.  

Arthur's funeral was held on 2 June and Irene Robb has been kind enough to send the following information. On a bright sunny day Arthur Houghton said his last goodbye to family and friends at Thornton Crematorium, Merseyside on the 2nd June. People from many walks of life filled the chapel to capacity. Many friends 
from the dog world attended, both Papillon and many other breeds represented. The curate knew Arthur and Liz from the children's school days so he himself had a lovely insight to the character we all had known as Arthur. This  was a celebration of a life, at times bringing a smile of humour remembering memories that came to mind and yet so humble, a service of which I am sure Arthur would have approved. A reception at Dominic Browne and Terry Burgess home afterwards was very well received and beautifully put together.

Arthur and Liz first introduction to Papillons was at Merseyside Toy Dog in the 70's. It was love at first sight.They bought their first Papillon in 1981, Pinelan Princess Natanya of Zabeth from Mrs E Carr. Breeding their first Leevick Papillon in 1986, Leevick June Rose followed by Leevick Hamilton Taylor, which many people will remember. Many more followed  including Robson Green and lastly Moondust. Arthur judged all over the UK. He considered it an honour to judge the  Northern and Eastern and South Wales breed shows. He was invited to judge  Border Union with tickets but Foot and Mouth cancelled the show. Finally at Richmond last year he awarded tickets for the Papillons. This was a great  thrill and one Liz  watched and will cherish. For the last year Arthur showed a Powderpuff with success in partnership with Linda Biss however he always took time to visit his friends at the  Papillon ring and bantered a joke or two.A larger than life character that will be missed on the show scene by so many. 

Carolyne Allward Chebsey has asked me remind everyone that articles and copy for the inclusion for the next issue of the Papillon (Butterfly Dog) Club Newsletter is required by the end of June month at the latest. If you have anything you want to put in, please let Carolyne have it as soon as possible but no later than this date.

Dick Terry was the judge at Three Cos Ch Show and his DCC and BOB was the Roe's Sunshoo Imascarlet Oscars with RDCC going to Kay Stewart's Tamaru Amore's Parel At Tussalud.  BCC was Liz and Alan Bartram's Burghbridge URA golden Lady.  I have no knowledge of the RBCC as the name given on the printers site is obviously incorrect being James' Benvellen Namaqua Dove which is not a Papillon and does not feature in the placings.  I will let you know as soon as I find out who it was,  Best Puppy was Sue Stanbury's Cofton Flite Of Fancy 

Irene Robb has sent me the following account of Arthur Houghton's funeral which she attended and also some details of his life,  " On a bright sunny day Arthur Houghton said his last goodbye to family and friends at Thornton Crematorium, Merseyside on 2nd June.

Carolyne Allward-Chebsey writes that articles and copy for inclusion in the next issue of the Newsletter is required now and by the end of June at the latest, If you have anything you want to put in please let her have it.

Schedules for the Papillon (Butterfly Dog) Club Open Show on Sunday 5 September should now be available. These will be sent to those who have exhibited at any of the Club;'s last three shows or can be obtained from Carolyne Allward Chebsey ((tel: 01543 256394, or write to request one, 44 Gilbert Road, Lichfield, Staffs. WS13 6AX) Alternatively anyone with Internet access can print one up from the Club's web site at http://www.papillonclub.co.uk where full instructions on what to do will be given The judges for this Show are Don Mahoney of the well known Mondelise Papillons in Australia who will be judging the Breed Classes and his wife Sharon will be judging the Junior Handling and Welfare and Benevolent Fund Classes. As Don and Sharon will be staying with Mark and I needles to say we won't be entering the show. Don has judged the breed many times in Australia and elsewhere at Championship Show level sp clearly has a lot f experience in the Breed.  In the past it has been evident that judges from Overseas pull in a good entry, presumably because they bring a fresh eye to the breed, so I do hope everyone will give them a bumper entry. 

News from Ireland where at the Swords & DCC championship show BOB & GSD went to Dolly Kavanagh's Serenglade Gold Sovereign, with GSB going to Dolly's Denemore Rainbows Cameo, RGSD was Mrs. M. Gohery's Snoopy Nickey Lad and from the Puppy Class RGSB Marion Sloan's Austrene Walk of Fame. 

Two championship Shows in the space of a few days. At Three Counties it was a first CC and BOB for Carolyn and David Roe's Sunshoo Imascarlet Oscars (Gleniren Scarlet Monogram out of Austrene Premiere Passion with Sunshoo) with the Bitch CC going to Liz and Alan Bartam's Burghbridge URA Golden Lady (by Burghbridge Fly For Gold out of Ch Daneview Dainty Bella Bella).

Best Puppy was Sue Stanbury's Cofton Flite Of Fancy whose breeding I do not have. 

At Border Union the Bitch CC  and BOB went to Jo Davidson Poston's home bred Spinillons Touch of Hope. This was her third CC, her first two having come at Bath last Year and earlier this year at Crufts, and this gives her her title subject to KC confirmation. I believe this is Jo's first champion in the breed so many congratulations to her. Touch of Hope is by Ibstock Bright Spark for Spinillons Sh CM out of Anncolm Love In A Mist at Spinillons. Dog CC went to Joan Savage's home bred Abbeyton Silver Rain Sh CM, his first CC he is by Northlyte Silver Dream out of Chappell's Peaches 'N Cream.

Best Puppy was Mrs Kirk's Kirkdale Razzle Dazzle by Serenglade Zeus out of Kirkchase Bedazzled. 

Phil Shirley went over to the Clepnaco Winner Show in Belgium (the Belgian Papillon Club) and tells me that the journey was really quite easy, probably easier for him than Manchester!!! Phil says it was a most enjoyable show with an entry of 52, and during a break of about 90 minutes at lunch time a fabulous bar-b-que was cooked. As well as Phil from the UK there were exhibitors from Holland. All in all it was it seems a very enjoyable trip and Phil is seriously thinking about perhaps organising a trip to the show next year from the UK so if anyone is interested it might be an idea to let Phil know so he can get an idea of numbers. BD and BIS went to Eng Ch Genevieves Flirtie Birtie now owned by Mrs Abeloos-Devos and BB to Phil's Ch Cordonrouge Ciara JW 

Phil has also sent me to following dates for events being organised by the SOuth of England Papillon Club 22nd August 2004 Fun day, 21st November 2004 Breed Seminar with KC Rules and Regs, 18th December Christmas Party / Match 2004, 21st May 2005 (provisional date) Open Show. 

Some success for the Breed at Open Shows recently. At  the Southampton & DCS Two Day Open Show Margaret Unwin had a super day when she took BOB, Toy Group and RBIS with Inixia Dream Magic, owned jointly with Sue Stanbury, and handled by Margaret. As well as three lovely cups Margaret tells me she also came away with some Prize Money!! 

At the Newmarket &DCS Open Show, Steve and Karen Maskell's Kazkell Dillon's Dream continued his recent run of success by taking BOB and the Toy Group.

Vandy Williams was the judge at Border Union and she awarded BOB and BCC to Jo Davidson-Poston's Spinillons A Touch Of Hope, this was her 3rd CC so congratulations !! RBCC went to Queenie Bruce and Amanda's Tijuana Georgio, DCC was Joan Savage's Abbeyton Silver Rain SHCM and RDCC was Irene Waters' Glasafon Jiggery Poke with Semperfidelis.  Best Poppy was Kirk's Kirkchase Razzle Dazzle 

The RBCC at Three Cos Ch was Sandra Austin & daughter Jane's Janakia Highland Breeze JW I did contact the Canine Information Directory to correct their report but do not know if they did so, anyway the record is straight now. 

At Swords & DCC Ch Show where Ann Horan was the Judge BOB & GSD was Dolly Kavanagh's Serenglade Gold Sovereign with RGSD going to Gohery's Snoopy Nicky Lad GSB was Dolly's Denemore Rainbows Cameo , RGSB  was Marian Soan's Austrene Walk Of Fame who was also Best Puppy. 

At Southampton & Dist two day Show Margaret Unwin and Sue Stanbury's Inixia Dreams Magic won RBIS.  

Debbie Deuchar's young dog Dime( Ringlands Golden Dollar) has taken and passed his  Gold Good Citizen Test - he is only 17 months old and Debbie's older Pap Gilby(Shamal Sequel) will have to look to his laurels!! 

Philip Shirley took JoJo , his Ch Cordonrouge Ciara to Belgium to compete at the Clepnaco( Belgian Papillon Club )Show, similar to our Club's Open Shows.  Jo Jo won Best Bitch and Ch Genevieves Flirtie Bertie won BIS.  Phil said it was a most enjoyable day and is seriously thinking of organising a trip next year. 

Carolyne Allward-Chebsey has asked me to print the following; " Schedules for the Papillon(Butterfly Dog) Club's Open Show on September 5th will be available shoetly and will be posted to all those folk who have exhibited at any of the Club's last three Shows.  A Copy( together with an entry form) can now be printed up from the Club's web site at http://.papillonclub.co.uk just follow the link appearing on the web site for further instructions.  Alternatively contact Carolyne Allward-Chebsey  at Carolyne@lorahspaps.co.uk or Tel; 01543 256394 or write to request one at 44 Gilbert Rd Lichfield Staffs WS13 6AX and a schedule will be sent to you when they are available. The Judge of this show is of course Don Mahoney of the well known Mondelise Papillons in Australia  and Don's wife Sharon will be judging the Junior Handling, Welfare and Benevolent Classes.  Don has judged the breed numerous times both in Australia and elsewhere but this is the first time he has judged here in the UK.  As Don and Sharon will be staying with Mark Billinghurst and Mike Foster, they will obviously, not be entering under them.  In the past our Overseas judges have always attracted a good entry. possibly because they bring a fresh eye to the breed here and of course know very few people.  Hopefully everyone will give them a bumper entry.
