National working breeds of Wales

Once again we are of trekking around the UK off dog showing. This time in Wales for the national working breeds.

I wasn't there but Colin and Sheena attended whilst I held down the fort at home with my litter being due on the day of the show. Its not as if I can leave her and hope she doesn't go

East Of England Agriculture Championship show

No CCs 

under Joe Smith

Of we trot to the show staying overnight in a Travelodge with the most single bed being the most uncomfied for Sheena the double bed wasn't much better I have to say. Yeah a good night sleep my arse. 

We arrive in good time and all dogs must be out of vans and cars rules of the show as its over 25c something we are not used to and the dogs feel it too. 

So we find a nice cool spot in the sheds with a breeze. Yes we didn't see many folks but we felt the tent was a bit warm for the dogs. 

We did say hi to all and we went looking for folks to say hi to as well so all in a a good day bar the heat. 

I was misting down the doors of their crates and spraying them and Tyrion had his cool coat on too. He was the one panting more than Cerise strangely, but we did take multiples of cool coats just for them.

Culseandanes Tyrion The Imp 

gained a 1st in Yearling dog 

we also decided on putting our Bob the brainless into YKC with Alan as he hasn't really shown in over 2 years now and it would be a nice intro for him as it was the stakes class not to hard for him and the dog as both haven't done it together. 

Tyrion showed his socks off for the boy and didn't miss a beat. He let him go round him with no following. He did his handler proud that day, but dog and boy not only did it

 gained a 1st!!!!!

 gaining Alan a place at 

Crufts 2019 in YKC!!!! 

An achievement he is mighty proud of seeing as he has been out of the ring so long. 

Thank you to John Ritchie for thinking so highly of my boys.

BATH CANINE SOCIETY

At the Three Shires Field Bannerdown,
Bath

Well, we headed off the Bath under Leah Wiltshire first time ticket giver but has been brought up with Danes all her life. The weather was against us that day and it didn't just rain it lashed down with the thunder and lightning to go with it. Scary stuff for the dogs and humans alike. It wasn't the biggest entry for Leah and it ended up 12 dogs and 19 bitches but Team Culseandanes got a surprise as in....

Tyrions Critique 

YD (4) 1 Sneddon & Booth, Culseandanes Tyrion The Imp. At 18 months this fawn has everything going for him. Lovely overall picture, I find his head masculine with no coarseness, correct length of fore face, dark eye, strong neck flows into correct shoulders, lovely deep chest, and spring of rib, correct top line and croup, muscular strong rear with a good second thigh. Moved well, well handled, my RCC.

Culseandanes House Of Tully

gained her slot in the lineup and gained herself a 

BCC 

Her 4th to date and out at 7 Shows so far. 

Cerise Critique

OB (5) 1 Sneddon & Booth, Culseandanes House Of Tully. This 18-month-old fawn young lady is right up my street. Strong yet elegant overall picture, classic. She is well off for bone, correct head with a dark eye, well-arched neck into correct shoulders, lovely deep chest and spring of rib, held her topline on the move, well-angled rear with a great second thigh making her stride out when moving. She was my BCC. 

New DNA testing scheme for Great Danes

The Kennel Club has approved a new official DNA testing scheme for inherited myopathy of Great Danes (IMGD), followingconsultation with the breed’s health co-ordinator on behalf of the breed clubs.

To find out which laboratories the Kennel Club is able to record results from, and which labs will send results direct to the Kennel Club, please refer to the worldwide DNA testing list at

 www.thekennelclub.org.uk/health/for-breeders/dna-testing-simple-inherited-disorders/worldwide-dna-tests/.

The Kennel Club constantly reviews DNA testing schemes in conjunction with breed clubs to ensure that breeders are supported with resources which help them to make responsible breeding decisions. 

The Kennel Club works alongside breed clubs and breed health coordinators in a collaborative effort to improve the health of pedigree dogs and is happy to accommodate a club's request to add a new DNA test to its lists. A formal request from the breed's health coordinator or a majority request from the breed clubs is normally required to do this.

Test results will be added to the dog’s registration details which will trigger the publication of the result in the next available Breed Records Supplement. The result will appear on any new registration certificate issued for the dog and on the registration certificates of any future progeny of the dog, and also on the Health Test Results Finder on the Kennel Club website.  

Results for dogs already tested can also be recorded, but owners will need to submit copies of the DNA certificates themselves. If the owner includes the original registration certificate for the dog (not a copy) then a new registration certificate will be issued, with the DNA result on it, free of charge.  DNA test certificates should be sent to Breeder Services, The Kennel Club, Clarges Street, London W1J 8AB or scanned and emailed to 

health.results@thekennelclub.org.uk.

SCOTTISH KENNEL CLUB

At Ingliston 

We all head of to the show nice and early well not too early as this is, in fact, a local one for us. Only two dogs today our fawns. All the usual suspects are there awaiting judging as usual. 

It wasn't the biggest entry for Mr Lee Reynolds sadly as we thought he'd draw a bigger entry than he did. 

We also bought two soft crates at the show and I'm thankful we did as the dogs were rested before going in and we could supervise our self-harmer as she likes to chew her feet. Hence the muzzle at times but she doesnt need it all the time now thankfully. 

I had to go to the secs office to get Cerise class changed as she had won a CC before the closing of entry and you're not allowed to have them in certain classes or your awards are removed from you. 

I need to remember this in future as I am so forgetful in that aspect. 

Dogs are in first as usual well it was a turn up for the books as in.......
