So that’s it for this year. No more outings until after Christmas.
Xanthe is currently the top winning English Setter for the year.
Audi’s progeny is doing well, he currently lies in second place behind Sh Ch Wansleydale King Of Hearts For Bramstorm for the Elswood Progeny Salver.
His son Canteris Cool For Katz has won his first RCC and daughter Wansleydale Bellini has won BIS at both MESS and NESS open shows.
Brenda Seaman campaigned Ch Mariglen Mercedes to her title and a fourth CC at Setter & Pointer.
Emily Bennett and Mariglen Blue Star have qualified for a Sh CM and they are having a go at field training like sister Mercedes.
I am hoping two of the girls will have puppies early in the new year.
I still miss Lego, he lived life in the fast lane, even when he became rather frail over the past few months.
Here are pictures of him and his two sons taken by Kickie Boman at Windsor championship show a few years ago. All together now over the Rainbow Bridge.

Midland Counties. Anne Green. One of the most lucky shows for me.
Today Brenda and Mercedes win that all important CC. My thirty first UK title holder and my first ever Champion (no Sh in front of her name). Ch Mariglen Mercedes JW. Sounds good doesn’t it. The first full champion in the breed since 1997 and only the third in 45 years. Congratulations girls.
We were so excited we almost missed Panda winning her third RCC. What a day wow.
