Seahaven Dogs: South Wales Kennel Association & Gundog Society of Wales Champ Shows

After a period of time at home we had two shows in one week!

Last Sunday saw us travel to Builth Wells, for SWKA champ show, no CCs on offer for either breed but a lovely day out in great company. We had decided to give Eve a bit of time out from the breed ring, but as Eleanor wanted to use her for junior handling she was entered in the YKC members stakes.

Seahaven Parish Bell (Eve) 3rd in the YKC stakes.

Tasha 2nd, and Eleanor 3rd in the YKC handling.

Both shows were lovely and gave us the opportunity to catch up with friends, GSoW was lovely as the breed judging was held outdoors in the lovely setting of the 3 Counties Showground. It was a long old day, leaving home at 6.00 am and not returning until 9.00pm. The sun shone and Eleanor handled Tilly superbly in the Veteran group, having her first taster of group competition at a champ show. Tasha partnered Cooper again, and borrowed him for the YKC handling - sadly this was a little rushed and she didn't get the opportunity to wake him up properly first. Tilly and Maddie haven't been shown at any champ shows until this week and have now both qualified to Crufts, the break has done them both good.

Well that is it for us now until Crufts, all of our dogs have qualified which is a huge achievement and we're so very proud of them. All of the Seahaven dogs that have been shown have also qualified, so we look forward to another family gathering in March.

We hope the weather continues with this current spell of sunshine so that we can get out on some lovely walks and possibly meet up with some of the Seahavens.
