Caz - 2008
December - Attended LKA Championship show on 12 December and whilst we were waiting for judging to start went and did Good Citizen bronze award which Caz passed with flying colours.  She then went on to win 1st in Postgraduate which we were thrilled with as she is just out of Junior.  A very good end to the year.
November - Started working training again and Caz seems a bit more switched on but we are taking it very gently.
August to October - Caz ran in a pre-novice test in August, 5 tests in all and in 3 she got 20 out of 20, then 15 out of 20 for the last 2, so we were very pleased with her.  She was 2nd in the Junior class at the National Gundog Championship Show. We have given her a bit of break in September and October to just chill and have fun as she had her second season.  Her training will recommence in November.
July - 19th & 20th July was the SIWS Breed Confined event at Chillington Hall, Wolverhampton.  Caz came 2nd in 12-18 month Puppy Water Test on Saturday and on Sunday she was placed 2nd in Unclassified and 4th In Puppy Test.
Spent 4 days at Kent County Shows with between 3 - 5 demos per day. Caz thought it was great fun to roll on her back and make the crowd laugh instead of sitting steadily in line.
June - Demo with Warrenby Gundogs at South of England Show on Saturday 7th June and then back to the show-world on 15th June at The South of England Gundog Show in Maidstone, where Caz excelled herself and won Reserve Best of Breed. 27th June was Windsor Championship Show where Caz came 2nd in Junior class and following day she ran in her first tests at SEGS & Countryside Alliance funday, scoring a credible 16 out of 20 and 15 out of 20 in pre-novice.
May saw the start of the demostrations with Warrenby Gundogs, first one being at Charing Racecourse on 5 May.  Caz coped very well with appearing in two demos and performed well.
April - as Caz coped very well with Crufts, we entered her for the WELKS Championship show in Malvern on 26 April. She was an absolute little star and won her class and Best Puppy Bitch.  We have now entered her in Windsor Championship show on June 27 where she will be in Junior class.
March - Caz was awarded 4th place at Crufts and we were very proud of how beautifully she showed and as far as we are concerned she was top puppy
CAZ - 2007
On December 8th Caz went to her first ever Championship show at The NEC in Birmingham and in a class of 8 puppies, where she was the youngest, she came 1st and got Best Puppy Bitch. This means she has qualified for Crufts 2008 and we are very proud of her.
