The last Keighley match meeting
The 4 girls all had good placings today and Gabby won the veteran cup once more.
Then came the winners for the year----------------
The puppy shield on points was a great win for BELLA
Kate & Stefan’s Toddy took the overall shield on points although he was unable to come tonight
The runner up was a great surprise being our own little BELLA

Keighley match meeting

Saturday, September 15th.
We had entered the dog show, but were not expecting to attend as Elizabeth was off to Carrickfergus
--- the bitches went over to Derek & Dorothy’s for their W/E holiday on Thursday.
Elizabeth was almost ready to sail off; when news came the BSH section had been cancelled for the cat show.
Home she came and in the evening went out for a meal with D&D.
So, today we made it to the Burnley & District canine event after all.
Bella came 2nd in CKCS junior and 3rd in post grad
Hetty was pacing a bit in the CKCS open class, but still came 3rd.
Well done to Ricksbury Copellia who took BOB!
After some thought we stayed for her AV Post grad class and as you can see she was placed
among all the much larger dogs who took to the ring. BOB winners withholding..
She moved much better and enjoyed the class.
Hetty & Bella decide to rest with Seffy & Gabby after the show
Sunday, August 12th 2007
Well, while the cats had their day at Bingley Dorothy took Bella to Trawden.
What a great day for the CKCS family
Dorothy’s Alberica Cocoricca at Aldoricka (pet name Rica) won puppy; our BELLA (Aldoricka Damita to Trufee) won Junior;
Drene & Dorothy’s B/T girl known at home as Midnight (Alberica Walnut Ravenna) won P/G
and BOB and Dorothy’s ruby boy Aldoricka Uriah won the open class,
so it went, Alberica, Aldoricka, Alberica, Aldoricka!
