May 16th 2004 - The Scottish Championship Show - Judge : Mrs Horan

End of April 2004, we had the pleasure of Psychee's visit with her owner. Psychee is Parsifal's litter sister and she is a lovely bitch as you can see.

I had the great pleasure to be invited to judge the Sheffield & District Kennel Association Open Show held in the Alfreton Leisure Centre on June the 29th 2003.

20 Kings Charles were entered in 3 classes : Junior, Post Graduate and Open. All the dogs had lovely temperament and the exhibitors took my judgements very sportingly.

The results are  :

Junior : 1st : Harvey's Rivermoor Black Boris 2nd & Best Puppy : Plews' Tewhit Traditional 3rd : Hinson's Kerizma Karess

Post Graduate : 1st & BOB : Plews' Tewhit Typhoon 2nd : Harvey's Rivermoor Timpany at Tewhit 3rd : Bott's Mistycote Phreddie Res : Hinson's Kerizma Klassical

Open : 1st : Harvey's Rivermoor Teasel 2nd : Plews' Tewhit Tallulah JW 3e : Bott's Mistycote Phriday Res : Martin's Tewhit Trystabella for Normanslea

On February, the 5th, we went to Troyes. 15 Charlies were judged by Mr Andrew Brace.

Tobias won the Champion Class. Multi-Ch. Solstice d'Ete de la Rivieroise was 2nd to him. Tobias was awarded the Reserve CACIB, being beaten for the CACIB by the winner of the Open class, Theophyle de la Montagne Ensoleillee.

Lux.Ch Int.Ch Timothy de Melcourt won Open Dog Class, Best of Breed and was placed 4th in the Group. His nephew, Harvey (Vis-à-Vis d'Ahotep on Downsbank) won Post Graduate.

Well done ! It isn't that often that a Charlie is placed in the Group.

On December the 4th was held an International Dogshow in Rouen. 9 Charlies were entered under Mrs R. Mochrie.

Lux.Ch Int.Ch Timothy de Melcourt was awarded the CACIB and Best of Breed. His son, Virgile owned by Mrs Morel was awarded Best Junior.

Courtrai - Belgium - 06/11/05

On November the 19th, we went to Courtrai on a very cold and foggy morning. The Charlies and the Cavaliers were judged by Mrs Ferelith Somerfield. Amethyst's sire, Ch Ir.Ch Rossbonny Henley was shown in Champion class.

Henley won the CAC-CACIB and then he is made up International Champion (registration applied for) following all the CACIB he won in Ireland and France previously. Well done ! Mission completed ! Amethyst is very proud of her daddy.

Ursa won the CAC-CACIB and BOB. Veryan was Best Junior.

I also have to mention the CAC-CACIB won by Prelude to Fame for Drewsankie, black and tan Cavalier dog coming from England and owned by MM Andrews-Markie.

Metz - 06/11/05

On November the 6th, we went to Metz. We had a last minute change of judge and the 25 Charlies were judged by Mrs Desserne (F). Amethyst's sire, Ch Ir.Ch Rossbonny Henley was shown in Champion class.

The dog CACIB winner being already International Champion, Henley who won the Reserve CACIB, will be awarded the CACIB by the FCI.

Pontoise - 11/9/05

On September the 11th, we went to Pontoise, much nearer than Richmond the day before. 18 Charlies were entered under Mrs Custot (CH). We had a change of judge. Mrs Kurittu had too many Cavaliers : 78. As the S.C.C.'s rules don't accept more than 80 dogs per judge, Mr Metans, warned by the S.C.I.F., decided that Mrs Custot will judge all the Charlies and not only the juniors and puppies.

The dog CACIB winner being already International Champion, Parsifal who won the Reserve CACIB, will be awarded the CACIB by the FCI and then he is made up International Champion (registration applied for). 

Veryan who won the Junior Class, beat her cousin, Virgile for Best Junior.

The day was very hectic because Uptown Girl decided to whelp while I was at the show. 4 puppies were born during the judgements and I had to leave quickly the showground to survey the rest of the whelping and the arrival of the 5th puppy. It is why I decided, at the end of the judgements to withdraw Ursa Major from the BOB competition as I didn't know if I would be able to come back for the group if needed. But the whelping ended very quickly and I could come back with Veryan for the Best Junior of the Day competition later in the afternoon.

What a day and what a weekend !

Richmond - England - 10/9/05

After the judgements, we could eat a very good cake with tasty Kings all around. That was delicious.

Sunday April the 20th, we went to the Clubshow in Orleans. I had a lot of work with 7 Charlies and 1 Cavalier to show.
The day before, it began by 6 dogs to bath including Timothy who joined us for this big day.
We arrived in Orleans in the rain, quickly forgotten by the grooming of all the dogs.
The Charlies were judged by Mr Roy Davies (GB).
All begun with Stuart in Open Dog, the 1st class in the ring. He got 2nd Excellent Res.CACS and it was the start of a very good day for us.
Four classes later, the 2 brothers, Timothy and Tobias were in the ring in the Baby Dog Class. Timothy was placed 1st Very Promising and Tobias 3rd Very Promising.
Then, Pearl had to be in the ring in Open Bitch. She was placed 1st Excellent CACS and was made up French Champion on the day.

Then I had to go in the Tricolour Dog Ring judged by Mrs Maryann Hogan (GB) to show my friends, Mr & Mrs Mouquet's Cavalier, Charlottetown Alfred. He got an Excellent and was in the final line up, but not placed.
We had to wait till late afternoon to show my Breeder's Group "de Melcourt" including  Pearl, Stuart, Timothy, Tobias et Topaz. It was granted Best King Charles Breeder's Group.
