What a fantastic start to 2008 as we have our first Full Champion (Show & Working) in 'Ch Bareve Bonnabee with Sashal'

At 3 years and 2 weeks old Gucci achieved her SGWC at the Large Munsterlander Club SGWC Day. The judges were Geoff Hargreaves & Suzi Burton.

She achieved her certificate by performing her retrieve on Woodcock. At the end of the day she was also given the Guns Award. She will be trialled in the future and continue to be shown

CRUFTS - A great start at our first Ch show of the year ....... for the third year in a row our GWPs win first prize awards

Both Bareve Bellabini and Ch Bonnabee where entered - Bini won a first and second prize in her classes (beaten only by the eventual CC winner) and Bonnabee won a first prize in her class. A great day spent in good company!
