Bronte and I got up early yesterday to go to Midland Counties Champ Show (I realy mean early) I set the alarm for 5am set of for Stafford at 5.20 (or so I thought), after being on the road for a while the man on the radio said the time was 6 and I was near our destnation, a 2 hour journey, how could this be? I forgot to put the clocks back, instead of getting up at 5am when my alarm went off it was 4am.
Anyway we both had a great day at the show thanks to judge Jo Armstrong she gave Bronte first in her class then Best Bitch and Best Opposite..

These are some things I sell on my Craft table at Craft Fairs.
My husband made the trinket boxes and I made the bags.

I retired Deepha after the LKA Champ show December 2011at nearly 12years old
So here are some pictures etc of her 12 years.

Deepha aged 9 years when she went in the history books for being the first malinois to win a group at a championship show, also in the picture is judge Ann Arch.
In March 2010 she got her Show Certificate of Merit , again went in the history books as she was the first malinois to get it.
In 2004 we went to france to the Nationale d'Elveage At the French Speciality 2004 she was graded excellent, passed her CSAU (Certificat de Sociabilite' et d'Aptitude a' l'Utilisation)  and passed her TAN (Test de Comportement).
Deepha is owned by Ann Brown of Zodantta Malinois born 20/05/2000

she has the award Commended Elite.

Deepha is part of the Breeders Stakes Team.

She has gained her Kennel Club Good Citizen Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards

was continually graded Excellent at Championship Shows under English and Continental Judges

She was consistently placed at both Championship and Open Shows..

Sorry about the loss of all my pictures from my blog, But a few weeks ago I had a virus on my computer and had to have a new hard drive fitted ,all my stuff was lost including my photos so I have to do it all again please bare with me.

On 27th April Bronte and I went to WELKS Ch show.
Dreadful  day poured with rain all day and we were hanging around bored till we went in the ring at approx 4.30pm, Bronte won her class malinois Junior was also reserve Best Opposite sex and Best Puppy in Breed.

At Colne, Nelson & District Canine Society Bronte won AVNSCP Junior, Best AVNSCP Puppy, Best AVNSCP, Pastoral Group 1 and Best Puppy in Show.

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.
