Eukanuba Invitational December 2007

We had a great time at the Long Beach and Beverly Hills Kennel Club Shows as well as attending the Eukanuba Invitational where the Top 20 DOgs of each breed are invited. Some lovely Poodles, with Standards getting the Groups all 4 shows and Am Ch Brighton Minimoto getting Best in Show at two of the shows. We had the opportunity to see again one of our favourite dogs Am and UK Ch Afterglow The Big Tease, who looked a picture.

PCA National Specialty 2006

We had a fantastic time at the PCA National Specialty in Maryland in June 2006. The show was an extremely well run event and the standard of dogs was incredible, with dogs attending from all over the world. We look forward to going back.

We had the pleasure of spending time with "Mia's" grandfather and "NZ Gr Ch Pinafore Pacifika

at Kateisha (Imp USA) "Patrick's" father AM Ch Unique Reach for the Rainbow. "Christopher" is a previous Best of Variety and Best Opposte Sex National Winner, as well as a Multiple Best in Show winner and an outstanding sire.

A big thank you to Joan and Gail of Unique Poodles for bringing him to the show for us to see him in the flesh - we can see where "Patrick" gets his good looks from.

The next day we saw another magnificent Poodle Am Ch Afterglow the Big Tease (Imp UK), last years PCA National Specialty Best in Show Winner. "Donnie" won Group 1st at the Delaware Kennel Club Show that we also attended. He is a big winner and is now producing some outstanding progeny including our personal favourite "Unique Anticipation".
