SuperPup Event 2007

It was an honour to be asked to represent Northern & Midland Counties Beagle Club at the Pudsey & District Royal Canin SuperPup event 2007 with Maddie (Newlin Vanilla at Koorbrats). Predictably Maddie decided to come into season a few weeks before the event so it was touch and go as to whether we would make it, but thankfully we did

We were among an entry of 27 puppies, and shared our table with a lady who had a wonderful Deerhound – he was a true gent and allowed Maddie to take over his bed!

The event is run on a match basis, two dogs being pitched against each other, the winner going into the final. The judge for the evening was Sofie Lonn from Sweden, who had a super entry to go over. The puppies certainly gave the audience plenty of laughs along the way with their antics.

Maddie made it to the final line up, and despite not winning came away with a 4kg bag of Royal Canin dog food which, as you can imagine for a beagle, more than made her night.

Our thanks to the organisers for a great night, with excellent food and good company.

GOLDEN OLDIE 2008

Thorpe Willoughby Millennium Hall, near Selby was the venue for the prestigious Eukanuba Golden Oldie event, organised by Pudsey Ringcraft Club on Saturday, 26^th. April, 2008.

11yr.old Shannon Goldberg, along with her 7 yr. old Beagle, Banshee, represented the club, along with Sam Goldberg, who acted as their chauffeur for the evening, and Chris and Mike Hartland as supporters.

After a wonderful buffet supper, a very cool, calm, confident, and extremely well turned out Shannon and Banshee entered the ring for the match.

They both gave a wonderful performance, enjoying their evening to the full, and were a credit to our lovely breed, but the event was won by a German Shepherd; nevertheless we all agreed that it was a smashing dog persons’ night out .

All entrants were rewarded with a beautiful rosette and a "goodie" bag…….Banshee being extremely interested to discover the contents of hers!

Well done Shannon and Banshee…….a superb partnership.
