Bruadair 2007 News

 

Bruadair did have a good year,  in Scotland there were 49 open shows throughout the year, 20 of which we didn’t enter and out of the 29 we did enter we ended up with 18 BOB’s between Bru & Dee……..

We are now looking forward to 2008, our show team will be Bru, Dee, Cheri and maybe the odd appearance by Mack & Jess and if we are really lucky we may have another puppy to show from the mating between Meg & Garry…………………. see puppy page.

We just had Dee today at Lothian Canine Club Open show, and what a day she had……..Dee won Graduate & Open, BOB & GROUP 1…….Many thanks to our judge today,  Beagle Specialist,  Mrs Kathleen Cooper (Caurnihill)
14.09.07

At Darlington Championship Show today, Bru was awarded a 4th in Open Dog.

15.09.07 Today was Four Counties Beagle Club's Open Show. Just before the start of the show I excercised both Bru and Dee in the park; on the way back to the car I thought Bru was slightly lame. I knew I had an hour or so till he was in the ring... but it didn't help, the most Mairi Brown (judge) could give Bru was 3rd in Limit. I discovered after the show that Bru had a deep cut in one of his front pads but it wasn't noticeable to begin with... Hopefully with some rest and TLC he will recover by next weekend, mind you it didn't stop him from mating a bitch on Saturday night.... Dee on the other hand was a very good girl and won both her Junior and Post Graduate classes. Iain and Jill's "Monty" got 2nd in Junior and 1st Graduate.... while Darci got 3rd Junior and 3rd Graduate. Bruadair had another good day, a big thank you to the judge today Miss Mairi Brown (Ramseyville)
23.09.07 We went along to Selkirk & District open show today, entered were 4 beagles………3 with the Bruadair Affix and the other one was Bru’s son, I showed Dee,  Iain & Jill showed……Monty & Darci and Aerryn (my daughter) showed Bruadair Aghmhor……guess who got BOB……yes,  Aerryn and the very handsome Mori.  Aerryn was thrilled as was Iain & Jill, we asked if Aerryn wanted to handle Mori in the group but she said no, he was Jill’s dog, he then went onto win Group 4.

25.08.07 Northern & Midland Champ Show – Although we had Mack, Bru & Dee entered I decided to take Mack & Dee only…..as I was traveling myself (Jim was puppy sitting).  Mack enjoyed his day out and didn’t put a foot wrong but was unplaced in a class full of champions.  Dee had a good day with the judge Liz Calikes placing Dee 1st in all three of her classes    Junior, Novice & Graduate.  Dee came home with 4 trophies, including the trophy for winning the most points of the day & 3 bags of dog food, we also won a beautiful Crystal Rose Bowl which was kindly donated to the winner of the largest class by Mr & Mrs Cox (Tudorcrest Beagles) and a lovely keepsake of a Pewter Spoon with a beagle on it that was donated by Sam & Martin Goldberg to the winner of the junior class. We did have a good day!!

 Although entered at a show on both Saturday (Paisley) & Sunday (Hawick) we decided to have a break and recharge our batteries.  A weekend without shows is unknown for us….   It’s amazing how much you can get done around the house when you don’t spend the day at a show…..  Pity the weather was so bad!

 Bruadair had a good day today at the Hound Association of Scotland limit show at Alva. 1st in Junior was Ardvreck Caelaverock (Monty – Bru’s son), 2nd Dee and 3rd Bruadair  cno-……….. (Darci)..

 The judge today at Blackpool Champ Show was Robin Searle.  He awarded Bru a 3rd in Open dog (another stud book entry)  Dee didn’t attend as she is in the middle of a season!!  Susan Arden asked if I would handle her veteran bitch  Molly (Newlin Almond at Madika) for her in the mixed veteran dog/bitch class as she was showing Miles in the same class. When I arrived at the show Susan said “no pressure Debbie but I would like Molly to win this class”  …Molly is a dream to show and I was as delighted as Susan when the judge awarded Molly 1st…….
