Also, very sad news, we lost our wonderful girl Tippi a couple of months ago. She was almost 13 years, we really miss her.
I have had a great couple of shows!
At WKC Crumbs won 1st in Junior Bitch, the Bitch CC & BEST OF BREED under Mr Stephen Cardwell
Off we went to City of Birmingham Championship Show, where Crumbs was awarded the Bitch CC & Best of Breed under Melanie Reed Peck.
Next was Richmond Championship Show, where Terry Purse awarded Crumbs 1st in Junior Bitch, the Bitch CC & Best of Breed, her 6th such award, and then Melanie Reed-Peck awarded her Utility Group 4!
I am truly overjoyed; all this & she isn’t 18 months yet. Thank you to all that have made this all possible.
OMG! Crumbs is now a champion (to be confirmed by KC) at Blackpool! She was awarded 1st in Junior, the Bitch CC and Best of Breed under Mrs Maggie Mulholland. We then went into the Junior Utility Group and won that under Jeff Luscott. What a day! Crumbs is the 8th champion that Witchgait have bred/owned. So, so proud. We do not breed very often so this is such an achievement for us.
REPEAT MATING HOPED FOR TOWARDS THE END OF THE YEAR.
