CATCHING UP ON THINGS
There is so much news to catch up on - I can't go into details but apologies to everyone who has come back over the last month to see what has been happening - now at last I am able to do stuff again on the website and hopefully bring you up to date with things.


CRUFTS 2008
Thanks to everyone for all your compliments and congratulations that you sent to me and Vienetta on our fabulous Best of Breed win at Crufts; and a big thank you to the judge Ms Elisabetta de Luca for thinking so highly of her.

It was a fantastic day and probably the only time that I have remained quiet for any length of time much to my husband's delight.....amazing what nerves can do!!! Cotonkiss had a great day with their results ... Special Junior Dog 1st and Best Dog Cotonceilidh Mr Bojangles of Wydewyche (I am seriously delighted with this result; even though I didn't breed this dog he is one of the offspring from a female that I bred called 'Cotonkiss Faberge' and sired by my dog Uniquement de L'echo des Elingues), 2nd Cotonkiss Calvin Klein, 3rd Cotonkiss Versace handled by Margaret Harvey. Post Graduate Dog 1st Cotonceilidh Tartan Terror (again this dog was bred by Kathryn Solley but he is one of the offspring from 'Cotonkiss Icemaiden' and again sired by Uniquement). Special Junior Bitch 2nd Cotonkiss Pussycat Doll who went on to win the Best Puppy award. Post Graduate Bitch 1st Cotonkiss Iwannabe at Cotonden. Open Bitch 1st and Best of Breed Cotonkiss Vienetta.
It was an honour respresenting the breed in the main ring at the end of the day and an experience that I will never forget.

Another really successful day for Cotonkiss under French judge Sylvie Desserne; this time Bojangles and Vienetta swapped places for BOB and RBOB. It was a lovely day seeing some new puppies making their debut. Cotonkiss Carte Blanche was awarded Best Puppy, bless him he did so well going around the big ring at the end of the day in the Puppy Group but you could see he was tired as was his human mum.....just have to say though that they did drive from Montrose to Stafford for this show so it is not surprising.

Will be back again soon with some gossip hopefully.
