I heard a rumour at the dog show you are dying Clumbers reddish brown and shrinking them in the dryer. And calling them Harry! " :o)

Yes, it is true! We are having wonderful Sussex Spaniel gentleman Harry (Clussexx Harry Potter) visiting us for his winter holidays. Harry was going for Best of Breed + FINW-06 in Finnish Winner 2006 and in Swedish Winner 2006 + SW-06 + S CH shows so his prominence is recognized in Scandinavia. Special thanks for good friends Helen Marshall & Otto Wahl for trusting their wonderful boy for us.
This has been great opportunity to get to know a bit the breed I have watched from the distance for a decade now.

Snow (ST Athos) went for BOB and obtained one more title FINW-06 in his long line of titles.

Our young lady Cotton has started to mature nicely and she really loves to show. She first took jFINW-06 title and the won the best bitch class thus obtained CAC+ FINW-06 title

Momma-Do did obtain CACIB and went for 2. in the best bitch ring. Well-done Momma-Do even not yet in full coat after the litter.

Xavier did nicely too. He obtained CAC + res.CACIB and was 2. in the best dog ring.
