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

Magical Trick attended the Puppy of the Year competition and although unplaced did not let the side down in any shape or form - he is such a showman!
Next in line was Louie Lila at Newlaithe who at 8 years old ran round the ring to her delight and took Boxer Quarterly's DAM OF MERIT 2008 - she raised a lot of smiles and giggles from the audience as she just sat as good as gold in front of me (unfortunately not in view by the audience but hey ho!)
Then the main event of the afternoon - Cotswold Boxer Club's Dog of the Year
Our Judges this year were David Spencer, David Webb and Arthur Butters - in first were the top winning Males of the year to which CH Winuwuk Lust At First Sight took top honours - then it was our turn.

All in all a fantastic day / evening - a few sore heads the following morning though!!
Sadly Christine was unable to attend the event as she was busy whelping our long awaited litter of puppies by Faerdorn Conjuror at Newlaithe
and CH Galicar Designed for Looks by Newlaithe - all are doing well
Section from an article written by Andrew Brace for Dog World
We then moved swiftly on with the Dog of the Year competition and the identity of the three judges was revealed.
This year it was three long established Boxer gentlemen Arthur Butters who is now living in Ireland, David Spencer who still lives in London and David Webb who is now a California resident but who is staying in his native England until August as he has to have some heart treatment.
The three systematically went over and moved the 25 competitors eventually awarding points to their first four. In the males there was an unusual consistency with all three awarding first place to Marion Ward-Davies, Julie Brown and Tim Hutchings' Ch Winuwuk Lust At First Sight so Max won by a considerable margin.
In the bitches there was more variance of opinion but the winner was a popular one in Chrissie Beardsell and daughter Vikki Van-Beck's red Ch Newlaithe Just Stunning.

An awful long way today for an Open Show but I am afraid I had to go!!!
The Judge today had come all the way from the USA and is one of the (if not the) best Professional Handler over there - Mr Diego Garcia - whilst at The American Boxer Club last year it was simply amazing watching him handling all the dogs he did - making each and everyone look spectacular but also do everything he asked them to do - the time and effort he puts into the dogs showed every single time
So really pleased when he awarded Magical Trick third in Graduate (11 entries) and Newlaithe On Target JW ShCM second in Open (7 entries) behind the Best Dog and Best in Show Winner

(based on points won throughout the year at Championship Shows) to the
Top Winning Red Bitch for 2008
Also today Signature by Newlaithe held her head high in a class of 15 to take reserve place, sadly not a qualifying place for Crufts. However, not to be disheartened Signature was also entered in the Puppy Stakes and out of an entry of 115 (yes you read that right one hundred and fifteen dogs) took 5th place - what a fantastic result - especially as she is only just 6 months old
Well Done to the Mewett's and to Vicky for handling her so well

Critique from City of Birmingham CH Show (David Spencer)
Graduate Dog: Beardsell & Van-Beck’s Newlaithe On Target, really fell for this br/w & my notes say square, square, square, Boxery head with correct skull to muzzle ratio, expressive dark eye & good mouth, beautifully crested neck simply flows into deep square compact body with level flat topline, gun-barrel front with ample forechest, high tailset, muscular well turned hindend giving scopy movement. RCC
Critique from City of Birmingham CH Show (David Spencer)
Quality class topped by three worthy champions. 1 Beardsell & Van-Beck’s Newlaithe Just Stunning, sparkling r/w fully justifying her name. By now a champion & rightly so. Absolutely square, exemplifying short coupling, super head with velvety pigmentation, neck, topline, angulations all about right, can’t do anything else but stand foursquare. Made well to move well.
