Windsor Dog Show 2023

We gathered for Windsor Championship Show on the 29th June in the Home Park Windsor right by the side of the town and castle. All was good for this show, perfect weather for us and the dogs and not too long to wait before judging. I felt sorry for the Coton De Tulear exhibitors who were hovering behind us waiting for their turn after us as the time was moving on and the show was emptying.

We used the whole ring and were able to show off the dogs well. Our judge Mr C Sparrow was thorough and appeared to be genuinely interested in the dogs. Hilary & Peter McArdell were there and so was Charlotte Mee who was over from Dubai. There were a few puppies including two of just over 6-months old. Most of us left the benches and congregated by the ring for the judging.

The main winners all came from our Bolognese Dog Club members. Dennis & Carol’s Mulligan’s Donocielo Michelangelo came up trumps again with the BOB and was short listed in the Toy Group under Mrs G A Goodwin. RBD was Chris & Brian Thatcher’s Kobanyai Pelyhes Odin with Devonia Imp Hu from the Limit Class. Best Bitch went to Hillary McArdell’s Phendelle Eida Avril May. Best Puppy Phendelle Pharaoh Othello at Lyckalotte  co-owned by Deana Mee was Best Puppy with his sister Phendelle Phyllis Eida winning the Puppy Bitch class.

Dennis & Carol’s girl Donocielo Seraphina took the Best Veteran award. Well done also to Bette Hopkins who won Post Graduate Bitch with Lyckalotte Elegante Athena and to Jennifer Hegarty who won the Good Citizen dog and bitch class with Enjanicka Toscana Amore Mio.

I took these lovely pictures of club members at the show to remember the day. I am proud to say that our pictures are seen by Bolognese enthusiasts around The World on our Facebook Page.

Windsor is a show I always enjoy attending as I have real connections with the area so lots of memories come flooding back when I visit.
