26th July
A very sad day here at Newlaithe - we had to say goodbye to
CH Winuwuk Inspiration of Newlaithe
'Poppy' had reached the grand old age of thirteen and a half
Throughout her life she was a star in the show-ring winning 5 Challenge Certificates and 1 Reserve
She produced our own Newlaithe Dusty Nation and has been a constant companion to Christine and her best mate Louie Lila
She will be deeply missed by both of us and all her four-legged pals
~x~ RIP Poppy ~x~

January 9th - Boston CH Show (no CCs for Boxers)
We have decided that we are completely insane!!!
After spending 2 hours digging the van out on the Friday, parking it on the main (ish) road then getting up at 5am transporting all the dogs and bags to the van - letting it defrost for half an hour and then taking 20 minutes to get to the top of the main (ish) road to the proper main road which usually takes 2 minutes before even properly setting off to Peterborough for the Show and then to top it all the windscreen wipers broke so had to travel 200 miles round trip stopping every so often to clean the windows - plus the A1 heading South was not the best in some places and we seriously considered turning around - why oh why do we do this ...... (because we love it that's why!!!)
Anyway on finally arriving we had a change of judge to Mr Mick Gordon who awarded Newlaithe Conjured Design first in Puppy and Newlaithe On Target JW ShCM second in Open (behind the Top Winning Boxer 2009 - who incidentally went on to win Best of Breed), in the girls Stolen Melody took second in Junior

CH Newlaithe Look At Me strutted his stuff in the Veteran Stakes under Mrs Christina Chapman and we were delighted to be placed second
It was a long day but very enjoyable - thanks to our Breed judge for not only stepping in but for thinking so highly of our young boy
Please please snow GO AWAY!!

2009 Condensed
As we draw to the close of 2009 - Newlaithe has had yet another super year in the show ring
After campaigning Just Stunning to the TOP WINNING RED BITCH in 2008 she continued her winning ways by taking the prestigious title of COTSWOLD DOG OF THE YEAR TOP BITCH & BEST OPPOSITE SEX 2009. Before being retired from the ring she also won another Challenge Certificate and a Reserve (taking her total to 6CCs and 5 Res CCs). When we retired Just Stunning we brought back into the ring Designed for Looks, following her first litter born in February. At her first Show in August she won the Reserve Bitch Challenge Certificate and then later in the year another Reserve and then the Challenge Certificate and Best of Breed at Richmond (taking her total to 6CCs and 3 Res CCs)
Based on points earned throughout the year at Championship Shows we still have the
TOP two winning RED BITCHES in Just Stunning and Designed For Looks
