Morning Folks,

Just wanted to thank everyone for a lovely day out yesterday. It was lovely to get the chance to all meet up & see all the dogs together. It was especially nice to meet a few new faces who were at the fair too - Margaret & Oakly & also Murphy (Sorry didn't get the owners name - too busy admiring his gorgeous Munster!!LOL) & also Claire & Danny. The munsters certainly gave everyone a good giggle at the Scurry!!! Well Done to Sarah & Alfie on coming 2nd fastest in the Juniors - you should be very proud of that. Even the rain failed to dampen our spirits. I did at 1st think the £13 entry fee was quite a lot but I think we all got our money's worth.

Looking forward to our next outing - will need to check the diary & see when suits everyone.

& Alfie was "fastest munsters" in the scurry & 2nd fastest junior scurry(all comers)

Very well done Cassie....tell your mum jumping up and grabing your arm  is a normal munster thingie.....you will grow out of it ....better to have some sparkle  than be half asleep ..
You will be looking foerwad to Paington even more now
Hope you got extra biscuits for being a clever girl
Well done

This s a  picture of Brewster   our tri coloured puppy in Kai & Tillys last litter.
Brewster was the wee small boy in  the litter
   who got so excited when he got to the "nipple"
he could not keep his head still  to catch the nipple  and so got no milk (it would appear). So he was bottled fed & from being a wee small favorit one he has turned out to be a strapping  handsome munster. Who ..in this picture is drying himself off  using the sofa as a towel  after having fallen into the Canel  while "doing the toilet".

For another pic of Brewster go to Scottishmunsters.net

Colin's mum and ?border collie is that?

& not to be out done  Jason & Paws

The Logies have a very hard week again .
  So nice to see Erin having fun with Paws

Below Paws "retrieving gently to Hand"  Wendy

How does anyone else cope with dogs and bitches in the same household? Especially at THAT time?

On a score from....to  I dont  to very badly ++++++ I have 2 Bitchs in " ragging season"  and 1 very willing over sexed boy  and 1 very confused puppy  in the house at the moment    and they are maybe enjoying  but Maggie & I are not.
Worst it has ever been ....Ah....Ah


PS  Lovely picture of Ceilidh at scottishmunsters.net   This is possibly our next Munster bash meet venue

We are trying to organize a "master class" in handling your dog in the show ring  or how to get the best out of your dog in the show ring. In the first instance this would be a "one off " class  but if required we would try to arrange further classes.

We are trying to get one of Scotland's top handlers to take the class.

 Many people to go ringcraft classes but do not get out of them what they require..  maybe the person taking the class has a collie and really no experience on handling munsters?!   If you get the foundations of what you should be doing  you can use your ringcraft class to socalize  your dog  both with other dogs  and the "ring experience" and to practice your new found skills. So this "master class" would not replace your ringcraft class but complement it.

If you would be interested let us know  you contact us at   for more info

Hi,

As you have missed the postal closing date for Paignton you will have to enter on line via Higham Press - www.highampress.co.uk Down the left handside of the page click on dog.biz This will take you to the website that you can enter Paignton from. You will 1st have to register your dog. For this you will need your kennel club registration certificate as there will be some information on that which you will need to enter. Once you have done this you will be able to enter the show. There are step by step instructions. Best thing to do would be to get Cassie registered 1st then give Mo a call & she can talk you through it (I would have talked you through it but I'm going on holiday tonight, Sorry!!). Don't panic the online entries don't close til the 27th so you have got time to get it all sorted.

As Cassie will only be 17 months on the day of the show I would recommend entering her into Class 1262 - JB (Junior Bitch). This class is for Bitches not exceeding 18 months of afe so she should sit nicely in that class.

As for preparation before hand - have you been to any ringcraft classes? If there is 1 on your area it might be worth going along to a few just to learn the ropes. Where abouts are you? I'm sure someone will know of 1 in your area. If you can't find 1 then you basically need to get her to stand nice & still & get her used to having someone running their hands over her & checking her teeth. You will then also need to teach her how to run nicely beside you as you will be asked to move her during the class. As I am not the best at explaining these things I will leave it here & let someone else add anything they might think will be helpful.

Was surfing the net this morning & found this - www.thebark.com Looks like an american magazine. Amazingly (& randomly) they have a Large Munsterlander as their Cover Dog for the May/June 2008 Issue. The dog is Boog who lives in New York. If my memory serves me right he is a Scottish Bred Munster???

Pam

At Blackpool we are first in the ring (number 14)  Judging starts @9.00
National Gundog closes on line 20th  June  & WKC closes "snail mail" 23rd June

Good Morning,

Well, what a fantastic weekend!!!! Great Weather, Great Company, lot & lots of Lovely Munsters - ABSOLUTE HEAVEN!!!!!

So much to say about the weekend. Saturday was a great success - well done to Helen for organising it. Big thanks to the judges for coming up & making the day so enjoyable for all those who took part too & Finally a BIG WELL DONE to those handlers whose dogs achieved a pass - especially our Junior Handlers, Erin with Paws & Polly with Douglas. Well Done Guys you did a great job. The eye testing clinic went well too - so thanks to Prof. Sheila Crispen for making the journey up to run it for us. I didn't run Elvis in the Nat Apt myself as I was busy helping on th Admin for the eyes in the morning & then I was helping with thr BBQ at lunchtime. Elvis did get a run though in the afternoon & he had a ball playing with all the dogs. It was lovely to see so many new faced @ the Nat Apt. Elspeth, Gregor & Ceilidh, John, Polly & Douglas, The Bowes family with their gorgeos little puppy Brodie & not forgetting John, Fiona & the very handsome Aero who was as yummy as ever. Honestly, it was a fantastic day & I can't wait to do it all again next year!!! Oooops, almost forget, big big thanks to Eric & Fiona who manned the food tent at lunchtime - making sure everyone had everything they needed.

Yesterday was another lovely day out. Everyone was in high spirits & chatty. Vicky, it was great to see you & your family. Hope you enjoyed the rest of your weekend - so glad the weather stayed nice. Need to get planning the BIG celebrations for next year - isn't that right Vicky???!!! Big party in a field sounds like a good plan!!!LOL I was very pleased with Elvis' 2nd in Limit - again he behaved well so that was the most important thing. 

All in All it was a brilliant weekend - Thanks

Well I am off on my holidays this week - I fly out to Nerja in the Costa Del Sol on Thursday for 10 days. I can't wait.

I hope those of you going to any shows (Blackpool, Windsor or Dundee Open Show) have fun & do well. Also any of you who are going to Hall Barn, I hope you have a fantastic time - can't wait to hear all about it when I get back. I know Polly & Douglas will be giving it a go - so good luck to you 2. I am sure you'll do brilliantly!!!
