The breed was judged by Mr A Czegledi (Hungary) he placed Ch Debrak On The Road Again (AI) (Ringo) reserve dog and Runner Up Best of Breed. Ringo has taken Best of Breed at this show for the previous 3 consecutive years so adding a runner up best of breed was a great achievement considering he is really badly out of coat. Tambuzi The Isle of Avalon (Arthur) was placed first in the baby dog class (3 entries) and Tambuzi Secret of Roan Inish (Willow) was placed first in the baby bitch class (4 entries). Willow took baby puppy of breed.
Thankfully the weather was on the improve as this show was held outdoors. The show is the precursor to the Sunbury Show and always attracts a good entry. The numbers this year 1601 dogs. The judge Dr D Dowling (USA) awarded Ch Debrak On The Road Again (AI) (Ringo) the dog challenge. Ringo then went on to win Best of Breed. Tambuzi The Isle of Avalon (Authur) took 2nd place in the baby dog class. His sister Tambuzi Secret of Roan Inish (Willow) went one better and won her class. She then went on to win baby puppy of breed. And followed this up with Best Baby Puppy in Group. A wonderful win with the numbers and quality of dogs presented at the show.

Ruby was also pulled out for best junior in show so all in all it was another day for the team!
Mrs Elizabeth Smith (Victoria) officiated judging the Hound Group at this show. The show was held indoors and the babies fared well with the noise of the wood chopping competition at the other end of the pavilion. Tambuzi Tutanekai (Raven) was first in the baby dog class and his sister Tambuzi Secret of Roan Inish (Willow) first in the baby bitch class. Tambuzi The Sherpaof Annapurna (Tobi) took Best of Breed. Willow followed up her previous class in group wins with another Best Baby Puppy in Group. This time she went one better and under respected all breeds judge Mrs Sandra Mashford Willow won Best Baby Puppy in Show. This was Willows 4th best class in group win and 1st best class in show win.
Mrs B Doyle (Victoria) judged the Hound Group. It was good to see that the baby puppies were at last beginning to realise that they can actually walk and even managed to gait albeit for only a few steps here and there. Tambuzi The Isle of Avalon (Arthur) was placed 1st in a class of 3 baby dogs. Tambuzi Secret of Roan Inish (Willow) followed in her brother paw prints and was placed 1st in a class of 4 baby bitches. Arthur eventually went on to beat his sister for baby puppy of breed. Ch Debrak On The Road Again (AI) (Ringo) took out the dog challenge and his daughter Ch Tambuzi The Rinpocheof Qinghai (Ruby) won the bitch challenge. Ringo went to Best of Breed and was pulled out for group - even though he was being a real terror.
The Hound Group was judged by Mr Keith Prior (Victoria). Baby puppies Tambuzi Tutanekai (Raven) and Tambuzi Secret of Roan Inish (Willow) were shown. Willow took baby of breed and later won Best Baby Puppy in Group against a good number of quality babies. Well done kids!
A beautiful sunny day and such a contrast to the Horsham shows. The hound group was judged by Mrs A M Hearn. The babies were not gaiting as well as they can - but when do babies ever gait nicely at the right time! Even so Tambuzi The Isle Of Avalon (Arthur) won first place out of 4 baby puppy dogs. Tambuzi Secret Of Roan Inish (Willow) won first place out of 3 baby puppy bitches and then went on to Best Baby Puppy in Group. Not to be out done the adults Tambuzi The Sherpaof Annapurna (Tobi), owned by Colleen, took out the dog challenge and Ch Tambuzi The Rinpocheof Qinghai (Ruby), owned by Lisa-Jane, took out the bitch challenge and went on to Best of Breed. Congratulations to all!
