A good day at Cocker Club of Scotland for the Charbonnel crew ....really pleased to report that Fabio - Charbonnel Best Man,(by Swedish Design)owned by myself and Michaela Burns, won Best Puppy in Show, after winning his class under Dusko Piljevic (Gallinagos,Serbia),and he was also shortlisted to the last 4 for the CC which was really gratifying. To handle he feels just like Frankie ,let's hope he is as successful !! Thanks Dusko for your very kind comments.xx
Timmy was 2nd in Open AOC dog, and the girls also excelled themselves - Little Poise'n'Ivy won a really big Minor Puppy Bitch class and Daydream won her class too.Thanks to the bitch judge Kim Gain (Molkara) and everyone who helped !!!

I think I can safely say that Crufts was quite a successful show for our kennel and our dogs this year !!!!!
Debut day at South Wales and Mon SCC for our Charbonnel Poise'n'Ivy and her sis Charbonnel Love'n'it,belonging to Lyn and Sarah Clinton.Little Ivy behaved impeccably and won a VHC in a large minor puppy bitch class,but the star was Wilma who won the class,under judge Denise Fox (Castanea).Really pleased for Lyn and Sarah ! Timmy won a strong Open dog class under Carlos Saevich.
Photo below of Ivy,showing her cobby body and big cocker quarters....thanks to Shel Cowles for the lovely photo !!
Timmy had an excellent day today,winning Best in Show at North Midlands and Eastern Counties CSC.This enterprising club had thought of every detail and gave some super specials ,rosettes and dog food for all winners.Thanks to the dog judge Mrs Lin Parker(Weyhill )for this Timmy's 7th CC,and to the referee Mrs.Audrey Quartermain who awarded him Best in Show,his 7th Best of Breed also.The photo below shows him with the judge and the RCC winner Withiflor Northern Lights,who is a Sh.Ch.Charbonnel Swedish Design son.
I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Lee and Patsy on their latest achievement with Lenny - he has now qualified for his Show Certificate of Merit title !!
To think that Patsy has managed to present and show him to such a high standard after suffering a brain haemorrhage only 9 months ago is a feat in itself,and I am very proud and privileged to know her and Lee and to share in their success.Thank you for giving my boy such a lovely home ;0)
Another mention for Lenny today as he was declared Best Opposite Sex in show at Cheshire Cocker Open show under Mrs.D.Grice. Congrats again !!!
A double whammy for the 2 current Charbonnel particolours in the ring today - Lisa,Charbonnel Ermine'n'Pearls,owned in partnership with Mike Wildman,was Best in Show at Cocker Club of Lancashire under Lou Wilding (Jayzander/Lochranza) ,and Lisa's full brother Lenny,Charbonnel Law'n'Order at Darvieux,was Best in Show at Merseyside Gundog Open show under Mrs.B.Harding. Both beautifully presented as always.....
First championship show of the year ,the Hants and Sussex Cocker Spaniel Club, and pleased to say that young Charbonnel Ermine'n'Pearls and Sh.Ch.Charbonnel Life'n'Times both won their classes in good company,and the sisters Daydream and Peacedream didnt disgrace themselves ,both being placed in their classes. Sh.Ch.Charbonnel Dream Design decided to be hormonal,but still managed a 2nd place !!
Happy New Year!
