Glenauld Glamourama

We had our first experience of an FCI show this weekend, Dublin had the honour of hosting this years European Winners Show after a 'very' long trip up to Runcorn we had an early night then it was off to Holyhead to catch the Ferry, the 3 hours seemed to fly by as it was FA cup day and it started and finnished the the same time! once in Dublin we met up with the 'Glenaulds' and enjoyed a lovely evening together. Showday! - having spoken to some other exhibitors who went the show the day before we decided to leave very early for what was a 2min journey! and what a nightmare it was nobody really seemed to no were the correct carpark was  so we spent over an hour just trying to park!! it was all worth while though as Glenauld Gervais was graded Excellent which is the highest for adult dogs, and our newest addition Glenauld Glamourama on her European Debut  was graded Very Promising which again is the highest for the puppys and she was also placed second. Thank You to the Judge - Mrs Ann Ingram - Tirkane

The Irish weekend is renowed for being great, so this year we thought we'd take the plunge and go well, it certaintly won't be one we'll forget. we left home at 3am on friday to make the long trip up to Stanraer, we caught an afternoon ferry and met up with lots of other boxer people, once in Ireland  it was a short trip to the hotel were we met our good friends the Glenaulds +Kevin! there was just enough time to get changed and head down for dinner. It was a relativly early night, and so saturday came along with the Irish Boxer Club Championship show we only showed River who went unplaced, but Congratulations to our friends who did well. Once Back at the Hotel after sorting the dogs and getting changed we were down for dinner, and Debbie Huggins - Daeverlish had organised for a disco, and what a night we had!! I can't spill to many details! because what goes on in Ireland Stays in Ireland!! and its a good job!! although to give a slight insight going to bed after 2 am and trying to get up again at5:30am is not the easiest task!! especially when alcohol was involved anyway at atleast we weren't the only ones!! Sunday was spent at Belfast Champ show and River unforunatly went unplaced but the Glenaulds did well with there young pup Prada who was best puppy in breed. It was a great weekend and  we can definatly say we will be going next year!!     

After nearly a month out of the show ring we returned to a rather wet Richmond showground! we had 2 dogs entered River, showed really well but in a strong yearling class went unplaced, and we also  had our new hopeful Leigharac Diamond Game aka Dollar entered, in minor puppy bitch and at one of her first shows went on to win 3rd, giving her, her Crufts qualification. We also must say a very big welldone to our good friends at Glenauld, who won the reserve dog ticket with Star Attraction at Glenauld or Shaun to his friends! Thank You to the judge breed specialist Jean Watson - Roylark.  

A very short drive today to our local Championship show, Bournemouth, Glenauld River Island continued her run again winning reserve in Novice Bitch but are star of the day was Leigharac Serenity who in her first Limit class was 3rd gaining her Stud book number, so she is now Crufts qualified for life!  Thank you to the judge all rounder Mrs meg Purnell-Carpenter.

After a 5hour trip up to Blackpool Championship show we were faced with winds up 75mph winds, in the morning we were all told to go into our wet whether tents as the Best in Show marque was unsafe and at one stage was being held up by 4 tractors! it did eventually give way in the afternoon. Sadly though in the early after noon the whether became so severe the show was cancelled we were unable to show any of our girls but were just glad to be alive, as our tent completely collapsed just 10mins after the abandoment. A terriffing experience  but thankfully all boxer folk got out safe with just a couple of minor injuries, although i do believe there were a couple of more serious injuries in the catering department we wish everyone well.

This picture below shows the collapsed tent that our dogs were benched in only 5-10mins before.
