We are indebted to Roy and Lesley Blevins in Ireland for their enthusiasm and commitment in showing the 2 PBGV's CH .CHARBONNEL TOM CRUISE and CHARBONNEL BIDDY BANTAM on the circuit recently, and to Mike who showed them when he could....they amassed the following wins during the week :
Tommys Wins :
Clonmel - Green Star Dog and CACIB
Killarney - Res Green Star Dog
Limerick - Green Star Dog, BOB and Group 4.
Tralee - Green Star Dog and BOB.
Biddy's Wins:
Munster Canine Club - Green Star and BOB
Bangor & North Down Canine Club - Green Star Bitch
Limerick - Green Star Bitch
6 Best Puppy in Breed
4 Group 2 Puppy Group Wins
We are justly proud, and hope that they continue to do well. I believe Biddy has now won enough 'Excellent' gradings to earn herself the title of Junior Irish Champion. She won her Green Stars in good company, which must auger well for this young bitch, who isn't yet 12 months old !!!
Hopefully photos will follow shortly....

These
photos
were
taken of
the pups
at 4
weeks of
age.
They are
starting
to
develop
their
own
characters
now, and
play
much
more
that
these
photos
might
suggest
!!

Our only
deerhound Dilys
whelped
today, and we
have 8 puppies, 4
dogs, 4 bitches
.....it was not
an easy ride and Dilys had to
have a caesarean
section and be spayed, due
to
complications, so
we are hoping
that there is a
lovely bitch pup
in the litter to
perpetuate our
interest in this
enchanting
breed.
Below are the 6 pups which Dilys is nursing herself, at 4 days old. Two bitches have been fostered onto a friends Golden Retriever who whelped the day before, as Dilys did not have any milk for 48 hours......we hope to have a photo of them soon.!
The sire of the
pups,Ch.Greyflax
the Mighty
Quinn,is the dog
I awarded the
C.C. to,his
first,at
Blackpool last
year.He rapidly
gained his crown
under 2 eminent
breed
specialists,for
which I was
justly
proud.Please

to visit Quinn's
page on the
Kilbourne
deerhounds
website. You can
see photos of
Dilys on our
deerhound
pages.....

26/5/08 Horrendous weather today at Bath, but our girls did well for us.....little GLOSSY was again in the cards, winning 3rd in a good Minor Puppy bitch class under Jill Peak ,and COCO won 1st in Post Grad in the PBGV's under Sheila Rawlings......we were most proud of young CHARBONNEL SWAN SONG's debut win in the Minor Puppy bitch class too - Molly belongs to Phil and Beryl Beugelaar, and they were very happy bunnies !!
The day before COCO won
Best AVNSC Hound and 4th
in the hound group at
Chester City Open show.
17/5/08 In Ireland today at an International show our PBGV's flew the flag - SH.CH.CHARBONNEL TOM CRUISE totted up his 3rd RESERVE GREEN STAR and won the Res CACIB for Roy and Lesley Blevins ,and their CHARBONNEL BIDDY BANTAM won her class, was awarded Very Promising and took 2nd in Puppy Group 6.Well done ! 11/5/08
Our beagle bitch puppy,
CHARBONNEL GLOSSY, had
her first championship show
today, Birmingham National, and
we were thrilled when she won
3rd in a strong class of 14
beautiful Minor puppy bitches.
The judge Mrs Ann Tofts remarked
on what a super class of pups
she had before her, so we were
very, very pleased. Chrissi came
in reserve with GANDER
in Minor Puppy dog, and she was
really pleased with his
performance.....
I was accompanied by 2 beautiful
females..........
Our PBGV, CHARBONNEL
COCO, was 2nd in Post
Grad, her first time out of
Junior, so we were pleased with
that.....

Many thanks to Tuija for letting me
know that Eija's CHARBONNEL ELI was
BOB at Lahti international show in
Finland YESTERDAY, judged by Mr
Aleksandr Nikitin from Russia. Well
done again !!
27/4/08 Thanks to Beryl and Phil Beugelaar for these delightful photos of Mollie, one of the puppy bitches from our last PBGV litter. Hopefully she will hit the ring in May. We think she has a most beautiful head and eye already....lets keep our fingers crossed that the judges like her too !
20/4/08 CHARBONNEL GLOSSY, our newest beagle bitch puppy, made her debut at Bebington CS today, winning the Beagle Junior class at just 6 months and in good company, under judge Mrs Chris Nuttall (Monduri). Her litter brother, GANDER, owned by Chris Dulac, was 3rd,following on from his win in AVNSC at Wigan a couple of weeks ago.
Our PBGV, CHARBONNEL COCO, was the only one
in her AVNSC Post Grad class, but she later
won BEST AVNSC HOUND, and 3rd in the Hound
Group. She is such a jaunty, cheeky little
madam, and she wins new friends wherever she
goes...today was no exception !!
Easter weekend Good news from Gwen and CHARBONNEL CANTONA again !! " At the big Easter show in Leeuwarden, where there were more then 2500 dogs entered, Chocolate won BOB again and again he was placed in the group, this time third. Really good, as my GBGV Applause was first. The judge was the well known Petru Muntean from Romenia. Here is a picture taken at the show:
24/3/08 Some welcome news from Gwen Huikeshoven in the Netherlands regarding last weeks showing under judge Mr. Doedijns...
" CHARBONNEL CANTONA kept the flag high for your kennel,
as he won BOB again and was BIG 2 at the International
Show in Leiden. He's now unbeaten in the breed so far
and is placed every time in the group, and this is rare
for the Petit here, as the Grand is placed as well most
of the time. "
Thanks Gwen for showing Choccie in such good condition
and for keeping me informed of his success !!
24/1/08 Our little Glossy is really coming on....we are SO pleased with her so far. Don't be taken in by her 'butter-wouldn't melt' expression though, that's just a front ! Just look at that sideways glance- that says it all !! Hopefully Gossip will co-operate enough with us soon so that we can feature some photos of her too !
1/1/08 A good start to the year with the news from Finland that CHARBONNEL ELI, the young deerhound dog who Eija Kaipainen and I have in partnership, has now had confirmation of his INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION title !
Thank you Eija for all your hard work, and to Tuija for keeping
me informed..... x
