On Sunday 29th April it was Toy Day at WELKS, which was held at the Three Counties Showground in Malvern. The Judge was Breed Specialist Nigel Marsh (Tidemill), who drew an entry of 150 Dogs.
Carol Kirk had a great day; winning the Dog CC and Best of Breed with CH Hatella Finnegan, and also RCC bitch with Hatella Bluebell. The cherry on the pie for Carol was Finnegan winning Toy Group 2 under Hans Van Den Berg from the Netherlands.
The Reserve Dog CC winner was Sophie Farnworth’s Tsuelena Like a Rocket Man Von Pariansoez, bred by Sue Lee. Linda Scahill’s Black homebred Black Bitch, Purdypug the Duchess (or naughty Els, to her friends) won the Bitch CC – her third! Delighted to see this smart little bitch win her Crown.
Karen and Olivia Tydeman’s Zuazu Margot won Best Puppy Bitch, and Sally Mackenzie’s Popinjay Philharmonic at Supersound won Best Puppy Dog, Margot then went on to win Best Puppy in Breed.
There were Special Beginners Classes held at the Show. Catherine and Heather Rutherford’s Yorlanders it’s Zeva at Potbelli won SBB, and then went on to win Special Beginners Group 3 under Keith Nathan.
Well done to all the main winners!
