Firstly, Christine had the honour of judging at Crufts - a highlight in any judging career and secondly with the actual showing we had the Runner-Up Top Bitch in the UK and although only very lightly shown throughout the year she still gained a Reserve CC and a very worthy second in The Champion Stakes (behind the top winning Kanix's Bouvier Des Flandres)
We also successfully made Look At Me into a Champion gaining 2 CCs this year one with Reserve Best in Show and the other with Best of Breed
We have had over 100 placings at CH Show level and over 175 at Open/Limit Shows
Not to mention at Boxer Club Shows where we have been Best in Show and Reserve Best in Show three times, several Best Bitch and Reserve Best Bitch awards, Reserve Best Dog, Best Puppy in Show twice, Best Puppy Dog, Best Special and Reserve Best Special Puppy Dog, and several Reserve Best Puppy awards
In the CH Show Stakes we have also had Puppy Stakes winner, runner-up Junior Stakes and several other placings throughout the year
In the all Breed Open Shows we have had 7 Best of Breeds followed by Working Group 2, Group 3 and Group 4 placings and Best Puppy in Breeds and Working Puppy Group 1
We have also qualified one Puppy and one Adult in the prestigious 'Boscars' held in March where the UK Top Puppy and UK Top Dog awards are awarded and there are 13 Newlaithe dogs qualified for Crufts 2008
And not forgetting our Brace team who maintained their winning record at Bakewell
Other people with Newlaithe dogs have had a very good year too and we wish each and everyone of them the greatest of success for 2008
So all in all not a bad year - here's to starting all over again on January 1st 2008!!
