It is with a very heavy heart that we anounce the passing of Bailey on 06/02/2012. Gone but not forgotten.

 

It was fate that brought Bailey to us, we first saw him at Brenda Judsons in May 2006 when he about 8 weeks old a cracking puppy who we would have bought but he was already sold and waiting to go to his new home.
We saw him again at Richmond Show he was six months old a super puppy oozing Breed type with superb movement.
The following Spring through no fault of his own he was to be returned to Brenda, who rang us and asked if we would collect him at Crufts and return him to her when we went to collect our new puppy Kizzy in three weeks time. So he came home with us a very loving little dog but not an easy one we found he had quite a few problems.  We worked hard with him over the next few weeks and he began to respond.  Brenda suggested we keep him and we were delighted to do so.
It seems we were meant to have him.

We worked hard with him which has paid off he won 1st in JD and was RBD at Paignton under Brenda Banbury, BOB under Rodney Oldham at East Of England and BOB again at Birmingham under Jill Peake.

In October 2008 he made Breed History when Sue Garner gave him Group 1 in a very large Pastoral group at NEW&PB and gave him Best In Show.
