43 Breed Notes – SWKA 2024

At South Wales KA, Keeshonds were second in the ring after 52 Bulldogs for judge Jane Paradise who was awarding CC’s for the second time (her 1st appointment was Birmingham National in 2021) and she had drawn an entry of 25 Keesies with 6 absentees. There were no entries in either the four puppy classes or both Good Citizen Dog Scheme classes.

Dog CC with Best of Breed was Mel Harris’ Ch Amikirs Lover Boy for Watchkees (Ch Neradmik All About The Boy for Watchkees x Ch Amikirs Bubblelicious) with the RDCC going to second in Open, Vikki & Sean Marshall’s Arabesque At Devonia (Imp Rus) (Rus Ch Naidjel Iz Mirashela x Rus Ch Felicita Iz Mirashela)

It was a first big green card for Sue Lindsay’s Watermyth Cassiopeia by Mezanda (Mezanda Merry Starshower x Lilli Marlina of Watermyth) from Limit and the RBCC went to the Open winner Debbie Hopkins’ Serenaubach Andromeda (Elegant Sharm Galantnyi Kavaler x Serenaubach Auroras Dance) handled as usual by Simon Oakley.

With 10 litters making 32 puppies being born this year and only a couple of litters ‘in the pipeline’, it won’t just be the puppy classes being empty next year.

Finally, a plea from Andy Fitches, he’s still waiting for your contributions for the next issue of Walkee Talkees which he needs by the end of this month
