Welcome to 2013

With each New Year comes the closing of one chapter and a fresh beginning

Our lives have been as busy and challenging as ever with lots to celebrate from the year past and lots to look forward to in 2013 

On the back of our breeding's continued success at the championship shows throughout 2012 we are delighted to have achieved the accolade of Top Spinone Breeders in the UK for the third year running

We are blessed with many wonderful owners for our dogs and we thank them along with all of the judges who have contributed to this accolade and we wish everyone health, happiness and fun at the shows in 2013

Show Champion Bannonbrig Rude Boy delighted us all by winning Best in Show at the Breed Club Championship in the Summer making it the third year in a row that a dog bred by us has taken the major at this show

We were delighted to receive the wonderful news that Marge & Rick Conta's boy in the USA Bannonbrig Basil Rathbone had beed awarded his championship.  Brinser also took major awards and titles in his tracking and coursing pursuits

Special mention to Julie Carruthers who works tirelessly with her boy Basil and Show Champion Bannonbrig Al Fresco achieved the Top Spinone Male for 2012 and only just missed out on being Top Spinone overall

Our up and coming youngsters continued to do well for their owners and we hope to report their continued success this year at home and overseas
