Sadly we lost the South Western English Springer Spaniel Club’s Open show on Sunday, it is a real shame for all those on hard working breed/society committees when they have to take the decision (for whatever reason) to cancel a show. Decisions like this are never taken lightly and let’s really hope that it does not become a normal occurrence. Open show results from Gravesend & Medway Towns Canine Society on Sunday where Maddie Proctor had a good day, with her Petranella Perf

It was a bit of a sad day, last week when we heard the news that "Our Dogs" were the news and would no longer be trading.

Some lovely wins for the breed on Sunday 13th September over at West Bromwich & Wednesbury CS. Christine House
