Update on Bronte:
At Ladies Kennel Association on 11 december 2011 Bronte won 1st in Minor Puppy Bitch and 1st in Puppy Bitch, and Best Malinois Puppy Bitch,which I am pleased to say she has qualified for Crufts 2012.
Deepha (Bonvivant Coup de Foudre avec Zodantta) got 2nd in Veteran bitch this was her last ever show , she has been a good ambassador for the breed and has done me proud, first ever Malinois Championship Show Group Winner, first ever Malinois Show Certificate of Merit Winner, has had many BOB and became a champion at the age of 10.
I will miss not showing her but I feel it was time for her to retire and rest and relax, she is now 11 half and her name will be in the history books.
On december 17th at Darwen Canine Society, Bronte got 2nd in puppy bitch.

Went to Maghull and Merseyside Canine Society on 4th December Bronte won AVNSC puppy bitch, won Best AVNSC Puppy, and was short listed for Best Puppy in Show, realy proud of her.

I bought home my new puppy last tuesday her name is Bronte, she is lovely and is very good, Deepha took to her straight away, and Kobra is still wondering what she is doing here but he has had kisses of her.
Today I went to Darlington Championship Show and Deepha won Best Veteran, Best Bitch and Best of Breed, then to top it all my friends Jan and Barbara organised a surprise birthday party for me, it was a lovely surprise.

It was a very long day the judging was very slow in both my rings. Deepha won her class AVNSCP Open Dog/Bitch then went on to win Best AVNSCP Bitch.
