Following on from Scraps "Ch Bhealaich Gotta Luv Me" winning Best in Show at Bathurst Kennel Club, yesterday my handsome boy was awarded BEST IN SHOW (all breeds) again!! He won Best in Show at Cowra Kennel Club under judges from Mrs P Douglas (New Zealand) and Mrs D Zipperer (Queensland).

I'm now offically the proudest Deerhound mum in the world!! Mind you I'm just as proud of him when he's looking like a dufus running around the backyard!

His daughter Raven "Anduril Ravenscraig" also won Minor in Group both days last weekend at Temora & District Kennel Club!

Will post photos when I get them! I'm very excited - can you tell??

Cheers
Mel

WOW! Well done Mel. That is huge. Give Scraps some well deserved ear rubs

Thanks Samantha - to say I'm thrilled is a HUGE understatement!! He's been enjoying a few extra treats!

Photo added!

Great photo. I would be bouncing off the walls if that was one of mine

Many many congratulations
thats a handsome looking hound
how is it bred if you don't mind me asking

Am so pleased for you both

Thanks for your kind words - I AM very proud of my boy! (just in case people hadn't noticed)!

He is bred by Chris Howard & Glenda Danger of Bhealaich Kennels. Both parents are Bhealaich dogs, but he has Mapleridge, Glassonby, Nelungaloo & Kilbourne behind him and goes back to the old Atlas lines here in Australia.

His pedigree is at the bottom of his page on Dogzonline:

Thankyou that was so interesting
It was a nelangoo dog that won at the German Breed show I went along too,
Its good to know there is a bigger gene pool

When is your next show??

sending him pats and hugs

No shows now until 13 & 14 July - having withdrawal symptoms! No excuse to avoid cleaning the house!

I know the feeling. We don't have that many shows down here, our next is the 19th of July.

Yes but sometimes it does them good to have a wee break, and they often show better
do keep us updated as to how it goes

Housework whats that??

As the very proud breeders of Ch Bhealaich Gotta Luv Me, we just want to say a big congratulations to Mel & Scrappy! They work as a wonderful team together in the showring and Mel does a great job of handling him. We're very proud of their achievements!

Love Chris & Glenda (Scrappy's other Mums)

It must be great to see the dogs you've bred go to loving homes, where they are cherished as companions as well as making it big in the show ring. I can imagine it's every breeders wish.
Congrats again to you and Mel.
