​ 26TH AUGUST 2016

 
South Eastern Hound Club Premier Open Show is being held on Sunday 4th September at the Hickstead Showground, West Sussex.  Judging Salukis will be Liz McKnight.  There are 6 classes for Salukis so should be a fun day culminating with our annual picnic.  Everyone is requested to bring along a donation for the picnic though we do request ‘no sausage rolls’.  Co-coordinating the picnic will be
Marie Bryce-Smith (tel 01342 327573)  and she requests that everyone ring her with an idea of what then intend to bring along.  Last year the weather was dire and we nearly had a wash out so lets hope for better this year.
 
Two championship shows to report .  Monday was the turn on Bournemouth.  As the entry was so low, we can but assume that Mondays are not the best day for shows.  BCC, BOB went to Mrs K H Williams’ Ch, Bermuda Ch Ulmarra Tropical Ice at Winton with the RBCC to Mrs D Copperthwaite’s Al Caliphs Artemis.  DCC for his first CC went to Mr & Mrs KA Goulden’s Fernlark By Design.  He was born on 20th May 2015 and his breeder is Ms S Steer.  His sire is Ch Jorgenjo Mirzam of Fernlark JW and dam, Kirman Dafnia at Fernlark (Imp Fin ) JW.  RDCC went to Mrs D Copperthewaite’s Noushzad Caliph ((mp).  Best Puppy was Mr A E & Mrs E A Jorjenjo Sakin Mar.  Best Veteran went to Mrs H J Davies Charrioak Nuki
 
Last Friday in wet and windy weather, I am told, was Welsh Kennel Club, judged by Ms Jayne Pyatt.  Her DCC, BOB went to the late Hilary Cornock and Anna Cornock’s Mumtaz Theseus.  He was born on 5th April 2012 and his breeder is his exhibitors.  His sire is Ch Fernlark Alsace and dam, Ch Mumtaz Sea Breeze.  RDCC went to David and Janet Steer’s Dawnchase Zamir.  BCC, for her first CC, went to Diane Leyton-Smith’s Velourias Viva Vivienne with the RBCC to Pauline and Don Everton’s Kasra Zeleka.  Best Puppy was Mary Sanders-Parker’s Classicus Britannia and Best Veteran went to L & MShaw’s Anisah Sweet Sensation.
