2007 in a nut shell
As we draw to a close of 2007 Newlaithe has had a very good year
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!!
December 2007
December 27th - Sleaford & District Canine Society
Another local All Breed Open Show at Newark where are Breed judge was Mr John Wallis who awarded Newlaithe On Target first in Puppy and Best Puppy in Breed.

December 2nd - Cotswold CH Show
Another early start in the dark, cold morning - but hey ho!
Our judges today were Mr Nigel Rallings (awarding CCs for the first time) undertaking the Dogs - who pulled Magical Trick into his last 7 but then no more - it was a very large Minor Puppy class so we were very pleased - especially as that was the only male we had entered
In the bitches it was Frank Kane who had the biggest entry of all year so any place was going to be good
So Attractive showed in the Puppy Class today and although she is still eligible for Minor Puppy put on a sterling performance with 27 other puppies and was awarded VHC
CH Designed for Looks performed like a star today in Open Bitch amongst 10 other Champions she was also awarded VHC
Newlaithe in general had a very good day
Firstly in Minor Puppy Dog Very Attracted (owned and handled by Sleipnir Boxers) was second, Hot Heels (handled by Arthur Ainsworth) also took second place in Under-Graduate amongst 24 other entries
Newlaithe Lilibet (owned and handled by Vicky Mewett) also took second place in Post Graduate with an entry of 25 and qualified for Crufts 2008 - an excellent achievement after winning her way out of all the non-qualifying classes
Today's star was my little Heidi - Newlaithe Game On at Farfield (owned and handled by James Whitfield) who won Maiden Bitch with an entry of 16 - she looked fantastic and has settled in really well at her new home
November 2007
November 18th - The Merseyside Boxer Club Open Show
After an exhausting day yesterday (over 400 miles and a very early start!) we still supported The Merseyside in both the Special Puppy Event and the main Open Show

In the main show our judge was Mrs Fearn Pynegar who awarded Magic Trick third, Newlaithe On Target third, Pure Illusion first, So Attractive third Dancing with Newlaithe first
November 17th - South Wales Boxers Club Championship Show
To day we traveled all the way down to Cardiff for South Wales CH Show - we hadn't entered any of our males as Mr Arthur Ainsworth was the judge for the day (and we have a bitch in partnership with him) - so Pauline Taylor (owner) entered CH Newlaithe Look At Me however Arthur had a bad fall earlier in the week so we gave him a lift to the show which resulted in Look At Me being withdrawn. So it was a very easy day with just 2 girls entered under Carol Schofield
Pure Illusion once again made the cut out of a large Minor Puppy class and Newlaithe Just Stunning ShCM was third in Limit Bitch
November 10th - South Western Boxer Club Championship Show
So today we set off at another uncalled for hour in the morning to Weston-Super-Mare where the judges were Bruce Cattanach (Dogs) and Andrew Brace (Bitches)

November 4th - Working & Pastoral Breeds Association of Scotland
Today we traveled all the way up to Edinburgh to the Highland Centre at Ingliston

Newlaithe On Target gained VHC in Puppy and CH Newlaithe Look At Me third in his final Limit Class
In the bitches So Attractive gained reserve in Puppy and Newlaithe Just Stunning ShCM VHC in Limit
The star of the show today was Dancing with Newlaithe who won a very strong Junior class and was pulled into the last 4 for the Bitch CC
November 3rd - Grantham & District Canine Open Show
A good start to the month, So Attractive was placed second in the breed class under our Judge for the day, Dale Marshall-Curtis and went on to win the Minor Puppy Stakes class under Carl Johnson
Newlaithe Just Stunning ShCM won Open and Best of Breed followed by Working Group Group 4 (Keith Bloom) - this gave Hayley her final 2 points needed for her Show Certificate of Merit
Once again CH Designed for Looks entered the Champion Stakes (under Carl Johnson) and won
What a good day!
