WEST OF ENGLAND LADIES KENNEL SOCIETY

AT MALVERN THREE COUNTIES SHOW GROUND 
Judge Mrs S Lipman 

We only had our fawns out today they did us so proud as usual 

CULSEANDANES TYRION THE IMP
Gained a 1st in
Junior Dog 
it got him a place in the line up but nothing else but he is still to mature on as he is still a junior dog after all fair enough a big huge boned puppy. He is maturing nicely though. Slow and steady. 
Thank you all for the lovely comments about him.

J(2) 1. Sneddon & Booths culseandanes tyrion the imp. This 18 month rich red fawn with a dark mask, dark eye, good head planes and correct dentition, presented the gentlest expression. Hard condition throughout and very well balanced in body, having correct front and rear angulation and strong topline. One of many today with super tight feet, and a very smooth mover. Litter brother to my best bitch so will be one to watch as he matures. 

CULSEANDANES HOUSE OF TULLY
Gained a 1st in


Junior Bitch 
gaining her place in the line up. 
well to our mega surprise she goes onto gain another CC 
then Bobette not happy with that challenges for BOB and wins 
So we have to wait on Group.
Bobette in great style nicks of with a whippets bed and crashes out with that air of tell me when I'm on then. 
To our bloody astonishment she get group 4 which is an achievement as Great Danes are usually overlooked,  but the judge on the day saw something good in her.
I thank you Mr Hans Van Den Berg for thinking so highly of my bitch. 

To top it all off she is now a 
CHAMPION (KC APPROVAL) plus she did it in Junior.
Sheena's 13th and our 1st 
This team works together 
JB (4,1)1.Sneddon & Booths Culseandanes House Of Tully. Very rarely does a dane come so close to the breed standard, and be able to perform at her best, at the right time. This youngster, in a rich fawn gleaming coat which accentuated her firm musculature, exuded strength, elegance and yet retained distinct femininity. A dark mask, correct dentition with neat drop of lip, almond-shaped dark eyes, alert use of ears producing a beautiful head, carried high on her showy crested neck. The best front and rear assembly supported by good boned legs and very tight feet. At just 18 months old, and flowing throughout from her sprung ribs to her strong hindquarters and good tail set, she couldn't be denied the BCC. BOB and later in the day WG4. 

The dogs are co-owned by myself and Sheena I wouldn't have it any other way as Sheena deserves the glory just as much as us.
May I take this opportunity to thank Mandy Farr for
Bella aka Eddanes I Found Heaven Via Culseandanes 
plus Kelly Nayar for Merlin aka  Kemanilo Total Magic 
Sheena for owning Merlin too 
because it wouldn't have been possible without the above for our first fawn litter and be producing 
CH CULSEANDANES HOUSE OF TULLY 
Not forgetting 
CULSEANDANES TYRION THE IMP
your time to shine will come one day.

We get there nice and early to get the dogs all relaxed and a wee walkabout to calm them more the lads as they can be a bit silly at times before going into the ring. 
Dogs in first as usual and we started late as the dog judge was caught in traffic due to road closures we knew nothing about. we got started at 9.45am and finished for 3pm for our clean up after the show. many stayed behind for the nibbles and cake and copious amounts of wine which are always a hit at the shows by us Scottish lot.

Sheena Booth 


JB (4, 1) 1 Sneddon & Booth's Culseandanes House Of Tully. Have watched this girl since first seeing her as a puppy and she did not disappoint today. For me, she oozes breed type, has strength but still retains the required elegance with no exaggerations. Has the most melting expression and excellent head planes. Well filled in front with good lay of shoulder, correct topline, good depth throughout presenting a super outline. Was pleased to award her the CC and, with the co-judges agreement BIS. I'm sure she will not be waiting long for her crowning third ticket.

I'm watching from afar awaiting a decision being made and she only goes onto getting the CC 
Well, our Bobbette wasn't satisfied with that she challenges for BIS and wins that too. 

Cheers and applause rang round the ring. I'm all squiffy at this point trying to get of the floor. My lad Al is grinning like a loon cuddling anyone that got in his way.  

CONGRATS TO ALL THE OTHER WINNERS
