Crufts dog show 2020

A Huge well done to those of you that attended Crufts dog show 2020 with either offspring from our stud dogs, or we have bred.
Sadly we couldn't attend this year. But we hope to be there in 2021.

In Yearling Dog Wallaroo Hawk Eye was 2nd place, and 1st place in good citizen class. He was bred by Angie Porter-Manning and Graham Porter and our stud dog Tango was the sire. I understand he also got a 4th place in a working glass as he is a working gundog.

In limit dog Carnlochan Jack Frost a Tango son bred by Cheryl and Graham sutherland in Worthing, and owned by Ian Credland and Graham Butcher was 4th place.

In Open dog wallaroo all that jazz was 3rd place and again bred by Angie and Graham and Chilli was the father who is our stud dog.

Then in Veteran bitch Silvestre Oh Behave for Shelseivad was 3rd place. Owned by Hilary and Emma Davis.

In Good citizen class Bel.Sh.Ch. Carnlochan morning star was 3rd place and she is a Tango daughter, bred by Cheryl and Graeme Sutherland living in Worthing.

A huge well done to all of your, you all did so well. Tango and Chilli said well done kids.

Claire Balding presenting Crufts was discussing the facts which are so important when looking for a French bulldog. Buy from assured breeders, those that health test the parents, and are proper established breeders who do not breed unrecognised colours. Even though we ourselves may only have 2 more litters of frenchies in our lifetime, we will continue to make people aware of dogs needing health tests. Over the last five years the Frenchie became so popular that bad breeders got hold of the breed and starting breeding prolifically the wrong colours, which are created by cross breeding, and these colours health is something which has ruined the breed in general. Ill never forget the day I sat in a veterinary surgeons waiting room (not my current vet) and 5 french bulldogs came in, one by one being carried by the owner, because they couldnt walk. The breathing was shocking and no nostrils. When I walked into the vets I said “You’ve been busy with Frenchies”! The vet rolled her eyes, Each one was being fertility tested as they were being bred. A Lilac fawn, a lilac tan, a chocolate tan, a blue, and a Merle. All unrecognised colours. The one dog was so poorly it couldnt walk. At any time this breeder had 5 litters in a week, local to us. It was shocking! They called themselves hobby breeders, and now licensed with their council, the council next to ours. But it brings the conclusion if you buy from these breeders with unhealthy parents, you will get unhealthy dogs. Please think carefully what you are buying.
