June started off with a bang as we entered 7 dogs into The Golden Retriever Club of NSW Inc Championship shows, with two international specialty judges. Over the two days we did very well, with all dogs being placed in their classes. The Pan was our star winning a Reserve Dog Challenge along with Best Veteran in Show on Saturday and Opposite Veteran in Show on Sunday. The gorgeous Bliss was awarded Best Neuter in Show on Saturday, very capably handled by 8 year old Harper. Venus won Best Neuter in Show on Sunday much to the delight of her owner Sheridan. Gamble was Best Australia Bred in Show and Rufio was Best Bred by Exhibitor in Show at the Saturday shows.

May started off with a trip to Newcastle, where little Dior shined. In her first weekend able to compete for those important challenge points, she won her first points to her Australian title. She was also awarded 1st place in Puppy sweepstakes twice and Best Minor Puppy in Group, twice. The following weekend we headed back to Bathurst for 6 shows, where Dior picked up another challenge. Rufio winning two Best Of Breeds.

The new babies – Louis and Dior both took turns winning a Best Baby Puppy in Group with Louis also winning 1st place in Baby Puppy Sweepstakes.
