More Good Health news.....
Our new puppy 'Meadowdale Bumble Bee', aka 'Bee', has just had her DNA test results back, and she is:

Good News...
Some good news on the health front, we have had Ash's hip score back and he is 4:4=8.
His sister Eula was hip scored at the same time and is a total of 10
Both well below the breed average
Sunday 13th June 2010, taking Ash, Harvey, Jazz and Flora meeting up with Lesley for the long drive north, who was showing Eula and Isla we head off to the Northern ESS Championship Show.
It was a horrible drizzly rain all day with the odd heavy shower! And we showed outside!
We had a fantastic day, Ash was entered in a 'zillion' classes well 5 actually, and he won all 5 classes, which gave him the last few points needed for his 'Junior Warrant' Delighted when he was shortisted down to the last 4 for the 'top awards'
Eula (Ash's sister) also did fantastically, winning 2 classes and 2nd in 2 other very strong classes. These 2 wins also gave Eula the last points needed for her ;Junior Warrant'
How good is that, litter brother and sister gaining thier JW on the same day at the same show.
The others were respectably placed also, but the stars of the day were Ash (Woodspa Ash of Meadowdale JW) and Eula (Woodspa Eucalyptus JW)
Above Eula (left) and Ash (Right) at the Northern ESSS, both gaining thier 'Junior Warrants'
SWECA
A wonderful day at a local Open Show on Saturday 12th June2010. Taking only Ash, he was entered into Special Yearling and Open, delighted when he won both classes and was declared 'Best of Breed'
He then went onto win the Gundog Group the judge for the breed and the Group was Mrs Jean Taylor (Olyjen).
So pleased when at only just 15 months he won 'Best In Show' under judge Mr S Bardwell (Stewell)
