Our news...whats been happening at Mossbawnhill
Mossbawnhill Celtic Legacy BPIB...AGAIN!!
We recieved good news from Russia that "Toni" Mossbawnhill Celtic Legacy was BPIB again at the regional dog show in Rostov-na-Don on the 5th of October under Judge Hachaturyan where he was handled by co-owner Julia Eliseeva.

Toni has done extremely well for his owners Natalia Malyarenko & Julia Eliseeva and they are very proud of him,as are we.

Keep up the great work!! And WELL DONE! to all concerned. 
Good Home sought....
We have a beautiful young whippet male (neutered,microchipped & fully vaccinated) looking for a lovely pet/companion home,he has the most wonderful temperament & gets on well with every one and every dog he meets,he really is such a softie & is a quiet dog but please bear in mind he is still young & will need a certain amount of exercise to let off some steam but he just loves playing ball & will quite happily tire himself out running after the ball all day if you let him! We would prefer he went to a home who already has a whippet (or two!) or even a greyhound or lurcher as he just adores to run alongside our dogs and as he is really fast he needs a dog that can keep up with him!!! He is fully housetrained,a good traveller and is also crate trained too.

So if you think you might be able to offer the right home for him or know of someone who has a spare space on their sofa for him, please contact me through my "contact" page.

Ir Ch Mossbawnhill Better Man & Ir Ch Mossbawnhill It's All Bout Me

Both dogs are homebred.

Actually "Mossbawnhill" has had a fantastic week  (15th ~ 23rd August) firstly on the 15th at the Welsh KC Ch Show "Ridge" M.Better Boy at Ribblesmere owner handled by Jean Dickenson was 2nd in the MPD class under Ben Reynold's-Frost (UK),this qualifies him for Crufts 09.Then on the 17th"Damson" M.Smooth As Silk For Rushden owned by Janet Duke & Tracy Gill & handled by Tracy went BPIS at Clonmel Int Ch Show under Mr I Selimovic (Croatia) after winning Puppy Hound Grp 10 under Mr J Matyas (Slovakia),she took BPIB under breed judge Mr T Nesbitt (Canada).At the same show & under the same breed judge "Timber" M. Exclusive (CJW 08) got the GS & CACIB in dogs & "Dale" M.Better Bet owned and handled by Tony Ennis was BP dog. The same day in England at East Of England Whippet Club Ch Show "Finn" M.Cast No Shadow owner handled by Chris Martin got his first CC & finished RBIS under well known whippet breed specialist Sharon Sakson (US) her affix is "Paris". Two days later on the 19th "Pebble" M.It's All Bout Me handled as always by Ryan took her title at Killarney Ch Show under another breed specialist Mr George Kostopolous (Greece) his affix is "Allsatin",at this show Pebble went on to win Hound Grp 10 under Mr D Allen (UK/Spain) & finished in style by going BIS 4th under Mrs M Supranovich (Pol),we also took the Res GS in dogs that day with "Badger" M.Better Man who is handled by me (Pamela) and 3rd in the Puppy Dog Stakes with "Cedar" M.Better Son handled by Ryan again under Mrs M Supranovich. On the 23rd at Limerick Ch Show we managed to "finish" "Badger" again under another breed specialist Mr Unto Timonen this time from Finland and the famous "Woodbrook's" kennel, we did "the double" at this show where "Pebble" took GS bitch & "Badger" GS dog & BOB,our young puppy bitch "Damson" who is owned by Janet & Tracy (mentioned previously above) took the Res GS,so this was a super day for Mossbawnhill! On the last day at Tralee Ch Show we faired quite well in the Puppy Stakes both dog & bitch and both judged by Mrs Desserne (Fr) "Cedar" was shortlisted in the dog classes to the last four & made the final & "Sorrel" M.Envy Me handled by me was shortlisted too in the final four of the bitch stakes & then ended up 6th overall.

Phew...what a week!!!

Our thanks goes to all the judges who have appreciated our dogs & think as highly of them as we do & also to the owners who campaign them so well worldwide!! 





UNBELIEVABLE! 7 CAC's for Mossbawnhill Dream On!!

Mossbawnhill Dream On (Fin JW 07) continues her winning ways

Aino & "Fallow" Mossbawnhill Dream On (Fin JW 07) are still managing to continue to appeal to the Judges eye as yesterday at Ylivieska Int Ch Show in Finland under Paula Heikkinen-Lehkonen (Fin) she was 3rd Best Bitch with an Exc and Res-CAC.

WELL DONE Again!! 

Mossbawnhill's Better Boy first show
Mossbawnhill's Better Boy "Ridge" owner handled by Jean Dickenson (Ribblesmere) made his debut at the East Of England Ch Show (15th July 08) he did very well and managed to get a VHC placing in the MPD class under Pat Dufty of the Triken Kennel (UK). WELL DONE to you both Jean & Ridge!!

This litter have surprised us as although they have an almost totally 100% American pedigree they are definitely going to be well within the height guidelines set down by the English KC (in fact they look set to be the smallest whippets that we have bred to date!) they are also quite immature and that is something that both Ryan & myself like to see in the Minor Puppy classes as very often a lot of breeders are turning out babies that look like Juniors or older & are finished well before they are a year old.  
Mossbawnhill Dream On (Fin JW 07) makes it a double this weekend
WOW!! What a weekend this pair are having! HUGE CONGRATULATIONS must go to Aino & "Fallow" M.Dream On (Fin JW 07) who have managed to take another CAC today (13th July 08) this follows fast on the heels of their CAC yesterday.

Today's show was Oulu All Breeds and Fallow was owner handled as always by Aino Makela the Judge was Monique Van Brempt (Belg) & along with the CAC Fallow also went BOB and then under Grp 10 Judge Lars Adeheimer (Swed)  she took BIG 4, this has been quite a weekend for the pair and we are thrilled for them...keep up the good work girls & THANKYOU for flying the "Mossbawnhill Flag" in Finland so well for us!!

Mossbawnhill Dream On (Fin JW 07) does it again

We are thrilled to learn today (12th July 08) that "Fallow" Mossbawnhill Dream On (Fin JW 07) was 2nd Best Bitch,took another CAC  & Res CACIB at Oulu International Show (Finland) under judge  Lars Adeheimer (Sweden) this actually gives her enough to be a Finnish & Norwegian Ch but unfortuantely the rules over there state that one CAC must be gained after the dogs 2nd birthday so she will have to wait until after the 27th October to claim her final CAC & crown!

This super team also won the Pohjois-Pohjanmaa District Junior Handling Championships judged by Rob Douma (Neth)

Many CONGRATS to you both girls,it is well deserved!!

Moss wins the whippet racing at the NIWWC Show
We were made extremely proud by our lovely senior boy "Moss" who yesterday (27th April 08) at the Northern Ireland Working Whippet Club Show won his heat and then went on to win overall in the whippet racing...we had'nt raced him since he was in his prime at 3 yrs old but decided to bring him out of retirement one last time as he enjoys it so much,he has now returned to his comfy sofa!! He also managed to get a 2nd place in the "working type" show class too! Incidently Moss is almost 9 YRS OLD!! and had to beat dogs less than half his age,so not bad going for an old timer.

And "Teazel" Mossbawnhill Turn Up The Sun also won her heat (kinda by default,as she was the only one to finish!! LOL) and was 3rd in the final. But we were still pleased with this as she has never chased a lure before.

We got these beautiful pictures sent to us today of Ash,taken at Richmond Ch Show by www.dewerstonephotography.co.uk where she won a big PGB class of 18 and then went on to win BP Bitch also under breed specialist Mr Dennis Mayger from the UK,his kennel name is "Woolsocks"  - Ash is only 10 months old and therefore most of the other bitches in her class were much older than her...so  a huge WELL DONE Anita & Ash!!!
We have a new Ch!!...Drift (the Basenji) took his last and crowning GS at Clonmel Int Ch Show under the breed specialist Mr Christian Jounanchicot from the famous "Out Of Africa" kennel in France,he will now be given a very well earned rest for a while.

We also did extremely well with the Whippets...doing "the double" TWICE and also taking a few reserve's along the way too.Badger now only needs another one GS to gain his title and both pups have three each already and Pebble also has two Grp wins under belt too..all this and she is only 10mths old!!! We are very proud of our little teams achievements in such a short time.

We have some great news...but with a slight twist to it!

On Sunday at Monkstown Int Ch Show Drift our Basenji got his seventh Green Star which under normal circumstances would make him a Champion!! BUT in the South of Ireland we are under FCI and one of their rules is...to become a Champion the dog must have seven Green Stars under seven different judges and the last Green Star must be attained when the dog is 15mths or older...unfortunately Drift is not 15mths until the 18th of this month,so still needs to gain another Green Star,we hope to "finish" him on the Munster Circuit in 2wks time.
