kim & Yaz have won it!
what a briiliant team we have for the world cup on sunday with both the dog & bitch champs in our team!!!!!

Link for full results

Couldn't have been won by a nicer handler

I just love watching the obedience.
In my eyes they are all Crufts winners.
Chow

Here's the link for the International competition

& at lunch guess who are lying 1st & 2nd ?????

The one & only" magic" Sylvia Bishop & Herbie(we won the dog championship)Watson

So looking good for England come on Kim & do the treble :):):):)

Interestingly the USA Golden fluffed the directed retrieve which is part of their obedience tests & fetched the wrong dumbell & took it to the judges scribe

& the Welsh Golden brought back two dumbells Just to prove Goldens do have a sense of humour(well Joan Lavender always told me they did have)

Anyone interested should use the above link not saying anything but have popped the Engllish perry corks & having a drink to the new World Champions

Does anyone know what type of dog Ob Ch Bheinn Subtle Touch is?? (crufts 2003 bitch obedience winner)
I think she's gorgeous

shes a border collie, bred by bruce & bronymn bartley. the colouring comes from the sealight kennel, Bing bellemy.theres lots of collies in obedience with the sealight colouring as they were widley used as they were good & stunning to look at!
