2011 was our most exciting year ever. Listed below are our main highlights

 

In March Ch Mayhem set the bar very high by winning the CC at Crufts, we literally floated home

 

 

In June Mayhem pulled out all the stops and sent us into UK air space once again by winning CC, BOB and Best In Show over all four varieties at the NBSDC National Specialty. Cloud 9 was becoming very familiar

 

 

 

In October Ch Midas and Ch Mayhem made a long held ambition come true when Tintigny 'did the double' at SWKA with Midas winning DCC and Mayhem BCC & BOB, high altitude was starting to feel normal

  

 

   

In December, rounding off an amazing year that we didn't feel could get better, Africa did the hat-trick and is officially the UK's Top Tervueren Brood Bitch, Top Pastoral Brood Bitch and Runner-Up Top Brood Bitch All Breeds! We are overwhelmed by this achievement and so proud of both our girl and her winning progeny

CRUFTS, March 2011 (Linda Collins Lester, Domburg)
A beautiful bitch with exquisite type. It’s no secret I have always loved this 6 year old bitch. I gave her a CC when she was a youngster, still love her today. Gets better with age. Her head is still so beautiful, long, chiselled & refined she has kept her fantastic head planes. Her dark almond eye perfectly placed. Correct ear shape & size which she constantly used. Excellent split lips, good pigment. Her long neck is set into well laid shoulders. Firm top line, correct tuck up, & good rear angulation. The correct amount of bone for a bitch. Good depth of chest. She moves soundly with reach and drive. Good quality coat with dark overlay. Excellent temperament. Delighted to award her a well deserved CC.


EAST OF ENGLAND, July 2009 (Janice Clifford, Ebontide)
5yr old. Have always liked this bitch and she did not disappoint. Lovely balanced outline of harmonious proportions. Gorgeous long lean head with excellent chiselling, minimum stop, good parallel lines. Dark almond shaped eyes giving that typical enquiring expression. Well split mouth with good pigmentation. Medium sized ears well set and used. Beautiful, long arched neck onto pronounced withers, medium length back, croup slightly sloping. Well developed chest and good underline. Moderate front angulation, good rear angulation, good bone. Shown in immaculate condition. Moved well in all directions. Pleased to award her the CC and BOB


WINDSOR, July 2009 (Janet Biddlecombe, Tanje)
5 year old beautiful feminine girl who I had the pleasure of judging at her first show and she has certainly fulfilled her promise. Lovely length head so balanced and well chiselled with good parallels. Good eye shape and colour giving such a lovely expression. Neat ears used well. Again balanced body shape and didn’t disappoint on the move being very sound with a super side gait. An exceptional quality bitch. RCC


MANCHESTER, January 2009 (Kay Morris, Cairbar)
Tall & elegant red of excellent type, long well chiselled head, dark almond eyes & very typical expression, tall ears but very well set & used constantly, long well arched neck, moderate body with good angulations, excellent side gait & beautiful pick up, moved & showed extremely well RCC


W&PBA of SCOTLAND, November 2008 (Paul Lawless, Revloch)
A little reserved. Most super head planes, nice eye, ears of good size well placed, good reach of neck, excellent topline, well developed chest, excellent coat & condition. A touch long in loin, moved well particularly in the challenge, CC.


MIDLAND Cos, October 2007 - 3rd CC & Title (Kris Malinowski, Lykos)
Three and a half years. Very elegant bitch of excellent type. Excellent long clean head, well chiselled, flat skull and excellent parallels. Mask is well set though a little high. Dark almond eye, obliquely set giving very lovely expression. Medium tall ear well set and used. Excellent neck. Wither ok. Good body shape, chest could still develop a little. Balanced angles front and rear. Good length of leg. Harmonious picture. Moved very well, light, free and without effort. In excellent condition. I would prefer her to be a clearer colour but could not deny her overall quality and was pleased to award her the CC & BOB


NW&PB , July 2007 (Linda Collins, Domburg)
Gorgeous, feminine bitch with exquisite type. Long, lean, dry head with perfect parallels. Excellent chiselling; minimum stop. Excellent split to lips. Black, obliquely set, almond eyes giving that typical Belgian expression. Triangular, high set ears; excellent under jaw. Excellent neck leading in to good hard top line. Good croup & tail set; good under line; good front & rear angulations. She has the most wonderful pick up, when she stands and looks down her nose at you. Very sound coming & going with typical brisk side gait. Just coming back into coat. In the line up, she just stared at me, and I could not resist her - CC
