What a day in Birmingham...After months of hard work and preparation for Crufts, at last our Ch Pitlochry's O'Bryan Orak won the Dog CC. We could not be more proud of our Bryan's wonderful achievement and show performance despite his age; he is soon to be 6 years, but moved like a 3-year-old. Unfortunately his tail seemed to have been injured during our trip to Crufts, but luckily it was not broken.

His young daughter, Pitlochry's Irish Gipsey placed 2nd in Limit Class and our Ch Ballinskellig My Fair Lady made it to Reserve in a hot Open Class.

Our deepest appreciation goes to breed judge Jean Malley (UK) for rewarding the qualities of our dogs. Many Congratulations to Maggie Holder (Mascotts, UK) for taking the Bitch CC and the Breed !

The Cat

Advert by Anna Szabo (H) - electraextra@gmail.com

The show season starts...

What a start of the show season this year; Grand Prix Roan Inish, our Pilochry's Catwaezle offspring, makes it to CAC, CACIB, Best of Breed and Runner-Up Best of Group at Padova Internation All-Breed Show (January 19th).

Grand Prix is owned by Marcello Poli and co-owned by Conny Fernhout-Schildt.

The week before Padova, Miltonia dei Mangialupi, sired by Pitlochry's O'Bryan Orak, made it to a Group2 at Nurnberg International under breed judge Bjorn Fritz (Fritzens) and Group judge Jochen Eberhardt despite her mere age of 20 months. Miltonia was bred by and is owned and handled by Marcello.

Grand Prix & Marcello in Padova

A bit of Italian sportmanship and atmosphere with love from Padova: all dogs entered gathered together with their breeders or owners in the show ring after the judgments for a group shot. Congrats guys, this is a society to die for.
