Annual Club Show
Newsletter August 2019
Our Annual club show was held in July in the village, we were lucky to have a mostly dry day but one that wasn’t too hot for the dogs. We started with the activities and it was lovely to see so many of our members come along to try their skills on the various courses.
Winners of the Hay Bale Scurry were Remy with Meryl, winners of the Agility Challenge were Mr Bo with Becky ( a late substitute for her mum Sue – seems Becky can run quicker), Flyball winners were Bella with Kerry – this was the first time they had tried flyball and were very quick – one to watch in the future, Gun Dog retrieve winners were Poppy with Ruth – this pairing have worked very hard in their training and it was lovely to see that hard work pay dividends. Dogstacle course winners were Tara with Sue – well done the golden (or black in this case) oldies.
Overall Activity Challenge champions were Remy & Meryl, joint Reserve Champions were Lou & Daphne and Dave & Doris. Great work everyone.
The activities were followed by a much enjoyed communal picnic and then on to the novelty show which was really well supported with over 20 dogs in some of the classes.
Best Pedigree adult was Esme with Lindy, Best Crossbreed adult was Siku with Linzi, Best Pedigree Puppy Darcy with Lorraine, and Cutest Cross breed Puppy joint winners were Poppy with Cheryl and Percy with Rose. Best Golden Oldies were Shya & Karen, Prettiest Bitch was Indi with Heather, Handsomest Dog was Dennis with Micky, Best Brace were Sherpa & Saxon with Tori, Waggiest Tail was Milo with Bernice, Best Tricks was Mr Bo with Becky, and Dog the Judge would take home was Darcy with Lorraine.
Show champion was Darcy with Lorraine and Reserve Champion was Percy with Rose.
A lovely day was had by all.

Barking Good Summer Show 2017
We had a lovely sunny day for our summer show but it was a bit warm for running about. We started with the activity events which are always very competitive. Paul with his Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Lexie, arrived late – but, just in time to have a go at all the events. Lexie is a lovely girl and so very nearly a gundog, but she upset the applecart by being quicker on the agility course, flyball and haybale scurry than anyone else - despite being a golden oldie - so she won lots of red rosettes. Tara with Sue surprised us all by winning the gundog retrieve so Lexie didn’t quite make it a clean sweep although she did win the overall Activity Champion rosette.

The stars of the show were Daphne and Daisy in the Best Brace Class. They paid attention to Louise and looked as if they knew what this show business is all about. Harry a lovely black flat coat retriever and with his handler Ros deserved to win the rosette for Best in Show. Purdey, Karen’s Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, was handled by Lucy and her sister Megan for the day and won most appealing eyes with Lucy and was also Reserve Best in Show.

Barking Good Summer Show 2017
We had a lovely sunny day for our summer show but it was a bit warm for running about. We started with the activity events which are always very competitive. Paul with his Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Lexie, arrived late – but, just in time to have a go at all the events. Lexie is a lovely girl and so very nearly a gundog, but she upset the applecart by being quicker on the agility course, flyball and haybale scurry than anyone else - despite being a golden oldie - so she won lots of red rosettes. Tara with Sue surprised us all by winning the gundog retrieve so Lexie didn’t quite make it a clean sweep although she did win the overall Activity Champion rosette.
