On August 20th. we loaded the gear into the car and set the course to Kington in Wales, and truly beautiful small village - with scenery that would fit very well into an episode of Midsommer Murder !!
Even the church bells playing in the evening made me expect to see Insp. Barnaby come strolling down the streets... He didn´t though...

We met up with dear friends Jacki & Pete Evans, John & Mary Whitton and Izzy Butler with husband Richard at the small village Hotel for a nice dinner, were also Kathrine Knight and Leslie Cook joined the party.
Saturday was show time, our breed was judged my well known Mr. Frank Kane, he had a nice entry of 30 Pulis.
It was magnificent to witness John showing Leo to his 3rd. and magic CC giving him his UK title, so well deserved. CONGRATULATIONS to both breeders and owners of Ch. Zaydah Don´t Stop Me Now at Vaucluse.
Jou Jou did us extremely proud winning her 2nd. CC and BOB.


The Pastorale group as it is called in the UK is very different to our FCI group 1.
It really is strange standing next to a Samoyed in group, though some of the other groups are even more strange in our ”FCI Eyes”
Mrs. M Purnell-Carpenter was judging her first ever Pastoral group, and she gave the top spot to our show stopper Jou Jou

This fantastic win had us change our travel plans so we could stay for BIS on the sunday, checked into the hotel again, and had a smashing fishNchips dinner in John & Mary´s caravan....
