28th of April: Very much NOT a highlight. Goodbye RUFUS whose age and heart finally caught up with him, the 99 lives that seemed never ending ended, and we had to give him that final gift; being put to sleep at the vet's to save him from suffering. He'd had enough. After 15 years, it seems impossible to not have Rufus around any longer. He was always here, the oldest dog I've ever had, and the one that seemed to get through absolutely anything that life threw at him -with the samme happy disposition all the time. One in a million. He will be so much missed.

Lorphil Ludo 26/2 1995 - 28/4 2010. 15 years, 2 months and 2 days old.

21st of March: West Torrington Open show. Ripley took Best of Breed again, her 16th, from a good entry for an open show -6 Malinois.

Rio (Goldmali Believe) and Ginny (Amicae Whispering Dreams of Goldmali) were both eye tested clear.

 

11th of March: CRUFTS. What can I say other than WOW?!

Ripley (Sabrefield Zimply Zuper) was placed 1st in Veteran Bitch. 1st in Limit Bitch. 1st in Good Citizen Bitch.

She then won Best Bitch and the Bitch CC -her third, making her a CHAMPION (subject to KC confirmation!) at one month shy of 10 years of age! This wasn't even enough, she then went on to take BEST OF BREED and got to compete in the big ring at Crufts. She wasn't placed in the Pastoral group but really, we could not have cared less then!

Thank you so much to the 3 judges that thought so highly of Ripley and awarded her the 3 CCs, ALL with BOB: Paul Lawless (Belfast), Judith Cloutt (SKC) and Marcelle King (Crufts).

Thank you to my husband John who handles Ripley so well at the shows -I could never have done it myself. And of course, the biggest THANK YOU of all to Liz Richardson for breeding Ripley and entrusting me with her, all those years ago. The puppy I wasn't interested in showing !! Oh and not forgetting -thank you to Ripley HERSELF for being the best pet anyone could ever wish for -she's a dog in a million and she knows it.

Goldmalis that got placings at Crufts (none of them last) were Bohemian Rhapsody, with Melanie ("Z": a 3rd and a 2nd), Angel, with Steve ("Cleo": VHC), Brown Sugar, with Janice ("Tanni": 3rd) and Could It Be Magic, with Thea ("Tiva": 2nd).

My daughter Melanie (almost 15) handled Z and did extremely well for her first Crufts. See video at YouTube:

And thanks to all my supportive friends who shared our great day at Crufts! Too many to mention but you know who you are.
