Breed Notes for October 2003

At the South Wales Papillon Club Championship Show the dog CC and BIS went to Inixia So Be It For Elendil. Owned by Ann Borg and Sue Stanbury this was his third CC and this gives him his title subject to KC confirmation. He is by Inixia Party Pooper out of Azinghar Perfect Bliss At Inixia. Bitch CC, I believe her first, and RBIS went to Rosemary Ayris' Ibstock Adorable at Tussalud (Ch Ibstock Mark of Distinction out of Tussalud Miss Terriebelle). Reserves went to Eileen Robert's and Chris Smith's Inixia French Resistance JW in dogs (Inixia Party Pooper out of Inixia French Lace) and Mrs Woodrow;s Ch Lynflyer Perfect Lady in bitches. Best Puppy was Sue Stanbury's Inixia Know All 

At Driffield Dog CC, I believe his first, went to Anne Stevens Tawzan Fun And Fancy Free (Ch Tussalud Storyteller out of Tippitoes Rose Marie at Tawzan) with the bitch CC, another first, to  Kay Stewart's  Tussalud Cruella De-Ville (Tussalud Juke Box out of Tussalud The Lady Is A Tramp) Reserves went to Jenny Scovell's Caswell Classic Tri (Caswell Copper Charmer out of  Ch Caswell Coppatina) in dogs and Sue Morrell and Thesbina Teague's  Serenglade Saffriesa for Temelora (Inixia Barnaby at Serenglade out of Serenglade Saffron at Lindendale) in bitches. Best Puppy was Frasermar Ice Maiden owned jointly by M Comfrie and Ted and Mary Whitehill 

Denise Sheridan has been having a good run with her 7 month old bitch Beausher UR Heaven Sent, in four Open Shows she has notched up  3 BPIB, 2 BOB, a RBPIS and a BPIS at Rochdale Canine Society. Angel, as she is known, is home bred and is by Sunshoo Imacrimson Crusader out of Beausher Llamudos. Quite a start for this youngster.

An e-mail from Jean Grant tells me that there is a suggestion that the Lincolnshire Toy Dog Club should be resurrected.  It was disbanded some  6 or 7years ago and would cover Lincs, Yorks and down as far as the Wash on the East Coast.  It used to schedule Papillon Classes and Jean asks that anyoune interested contact her,.  her e-mail Granasil@aol.com 

I hear from Jean Grant that it has been suggested that the Lincolnshire Toydog Club should be resurrected having been disbanded for some 6 or 7 years now. The area it would cover would be Lincolnshire, Yorkshire and as far down as the Wash in the south. Certainly there are a number of papillon exhibitors in that area so I would think there would be some support for this within the breed. Anyone interested in such a proposal should contact Jean, if only to confirm support, her e-mail is Granasil@aol.com  telephone 01405 764711   

I mentioned a little while ago the proposed Super Match Challenge to take place next year between four breeds, our own, Affenpinschers, Pugs and King Charles Spaniels and now have received some more details from Ron Stewart who is organising this on behalf of the KCS Club. They have of course hosted such events previously, the last one being a three breed match. The event will take place on 20 November 2004 at the Hanover International Hotel , Bromsgrove ( overlooking the M5/M42 junction). The day will start at 2.00 p.m with the afternoon devoted to the Challenge run on a knick out match line.

There is an e-mail going around which contains a virus and seems to come from genuine addresses it is entitled 'If(document layers)'   don't open it, it carries the Kletch Virus and it has come to my In Box at least 6 times in the last few weeks but has been identified by my virus checker.

Following on from the information I have earlier regarding the Super Match to take place next year I have received some more information. Firstly one of the qualifying requirements was winning 3 First Placings and I have been asked to point out that this means 3 1st placings in Crufts qualifying classes. The Judges identities will only be made known on the day. STARPRINT have signed up to be official event photographers, and to make their services available for all those who may want that extra special "dressed occasion " photograph with their dogs. Julie Baldwin has also offered to make a special commemorative calendar for the event featuring dogs entered for the Parade of Champions.  More detail as that idea is developed , but if it appeals , start thinking about how you could feature in it. I am told that work has already begun on the 2006 event planned, 2 of the 3 judges contracted and a provisional booking made at the hotel for the date of 18 November 2006.
