Breed Notes for October 2005

Published 7th October

A note from Helen Wheeler, Secretary of the South Wales Papillon Club, asks me to mention that she would be grateful if anyone who won trophies at the Club's Championship Show last year please remember to ensure they are returned in time for this year's show which is on Sunday 2 October at Markham, Blackwood Gwent. If anyone wishes to donate Raffle Prizes please take them to the show and hand them to Rosemary Ayris who will be dealing with this on the day. Helen also mentions that they are delighted with this year's entry, Phil Shirley who is awarding CC's for the first time has drawn an entry of 201, one of the highest Papillin entries of the year I am told.

At Belfast Dog CC and BOB went to Irene and Glenn Robb's Ch Gleniren Scarlet Monogram who went on to take Group 2. Bitch CC went to Mrs K M Smith's Wee Lucy of Adinaken. Res Dog CC went to Monogram's son Ch Sunshoo Imascarlet Oscars for Gleniren, owned jointly by Carolyn Roe and Glenn Robb, and Res Bitch CC to Irene and Glenn's Ch Gleniren Starlight Kisses. BP went to Dolly Kavanagh's Denemore Cameo Reflection. To cap the day off Irene and Glenn's Ch Gleniren Scarlet Signature won the day's heat of the Pedigree Chum Champions Stakes and ended up Runner Up overall.

The following day at the Papillon Club of Scotland Championship Show Bitch CC and BIS went to Master F & Mrs. M Comrie Frasermar Ice Queen, Dog CC and RBIS to Pat Munn's Ringlands Treasure Story, Res Bitch CC to  Mrs. Broadhurst's Temelora Tianna At Thistlemist and Res Dog CC to Pat's veteran Ch. Ringlands Hologram. BPIS was Elizabeth Cochrane's Tijuana Victoria

Some Agility news, Lynda Stangle and Alex (Hemdale Alex the Avenger) won the Mini Senior Agility & the Open Mini Agility classes on Saturday 24th September at Wrexham Agility Show. This now takes him from Senior to Advanced Status, and he can now compete at Championship level  ''A Champion in the making'', well done both of you. A shame he did not qualify for the World Championships this year, being in such good form. It's nice that Lynda has had something to celebrate after sadly losing her 13 year old pap Denby only a week ago

I was very sorry to hear that Sue Jones had had a stroke and at the time of writing these notes is in hospital. I understand she had some problems with her speech and it appears it was her right side that was affected. The latest news I have as I write these notes is that she is slowly improving, her speech is getting better with practise and the hospital has given her a walking frame to aid her movement. The hope is that by the time these notes are out she will be back home recuperating so I would suggest that anyone who wishes to send cards etc send them to her home address. We all hope Susie you will soon be back to normal and that you do as the Doctor's tell you!!!!!

I am pleased to report that Susie Jones is now back home and is feeling a lot better
 
Sorry for the absence of notes last week but things have been rather hectic as we are now on the 'home run' with regard to the Complete Illustrated Standards of the Papillon and Phalene. The CISPAP will be officially launched at the NE Papillon Club Ch Show on November 6th. As a consequence this will be the book's first outing at any show, and the first opportunity to see it. We are very grateful to the NE Club for making this provision, as the Club does not normally have tables or stalls of any kind at its shows. People who have paid in advance for their copies, and Sponsors, of course, can collect their books at this show. If anyone has paid for copy of the CISPAP without postage, and is NOT coming to the NE show, perhaps they could arrange with a friend that he or she collects the book from Deirdre. Deirdre will send out pre-paid books WITH postage the minute they are ready, which is not likely to be before 28th October. After that Deirdre will be taking the CISPAP to the Amsterdam Winners Show and to the Southern Club's Christmas party on 17th December, as well as to the LKA of course. There is a possibility that she might be able to fit in a couple of additional European shows before the end of the year.
 
I was sorry to hear on the Internet that Jack Bunting, President of the Papillon Club of Scotland had passed away. Unfortunately I have not been given any details to pass on.

Denise Welsh writes: "This weekend has been a good one for agility paps and their handlers, apart from Lynda and I there is a new girl just appearing on the agility scene, Eileen Clayton has got the "agility bug" and has been training like mad, she ran one of my paps over the weekend and only just missed out on a clear round, she also ran one of her own dogs who has only just started training and did some very good work, these two are certainly a pair to watch for the future. I run an agility club here in Sussex and have a few members with paps, this weekend at the tender age of 10 yrs Bandit, Ringlands Marius and his owner gained two first places at UK Agility at Newbury and his little friend Smokey another rescue pap gained 2nd 3rd and 4th throughout the weekend, one of my puppies Kazim Ice is Nice now owed and adored by Angie Tydeman gained two first places in Novice agility at UKA. plus two places.This is great news paps are certainly making their mark in agility, long may it continue.

Dorothy Simpson says the Calendar of the Northern and Eastern Counties Papillon Club will be available for collection at Midland Counties, Driffield, Northern & Eastern Ch. Show and LKA, so there will be plenty of opportunity to collect - but they can still be posted if requested.They are going very well so don't leave it till the last minute to at least order your copies for collection at any of these shows.
