October 2008
Off down the motorway again for the Northern and Midland Beagle Club Open Show under judge Lynda Player (Lyndex). We never expected for one moment what a fabulous day we would have.
Buzz and Busker both won two classes each and Buzz was awarded Best Puppy Dog, again.
However the star of the day was our little Ginger (Yannis) who, only 13 days out of puppy, won both her classes and then was the judges choice for BEST IN SHOW !

September 2008
Closer to home at the Scottish Beagle Club's Open show it was Buzz who beat his brother into second place. He was awarded Best Puppy Dog but had to give way to kennel mate Yannis who was awarded BEST PUPPY IN SHOW.

Rachel was Reserve Best Bitch so a great day for the Newlins.
Thanks to handlers Lynn Bailey and Sam Goldberg, as I do not handle at our own show, and of course to Judge Kath Parkin.
***********
We were really looking forward to Driffield Champ show as it was the first outing for our new boys Buzz (Molesend Busy at Newlin) and Busker (Molesend Busking at Newlin) bred by Sam and Martin Goldberg and the late David Nicholson.
We were absolutely thrilled when both qualified for Crufts with Busker achieving Best Puppy Dog .
Huge thanks to judge Doug Hall.
************
After a great deal of soul searching on 15th we decided to let Jack (Ch Sailor) go to a retirement home.
We couldn't have wished for a better and more knowledgeable home for him so he now lives with Alasdair and Moira Brown and is successor to their much loved Timothy.

September started with a trip to Prague to judge the Czech Republic's Beagle Club's Champ Show.
David was judging the dogs and the baby puppy classes and Liz the bitches. Judging took place simultaneously in different rings so neither got a look at what the other was doing.
When it came to Best in Show we were astounded to find out that the best bitch and best dog were litter brother and sister and, coincidentally, both harepied.

It was a fantastic day at the Welsh Kennel Club for Lynn Bailey's Newlin Victor of Salenko JW who won a star studded Limit class and then went on to take the RCC under breed specialist judge Jane May.
Well done Lynn !!!

Back home to more rain, piles of washing and some beautiful puppies. How they grow.................

My last stop is Bournemouth and David has already taken the motorhome back to Scotland and collected Fishcake's pups who are ready for weaning. Frank Kane is the judge and, yet again in pouring rain, a lovely day for Newlin.
