Maggie (Shoalhill Miss Bossy Boots), performed very well at todays Birmingham National show at Staffordshire Showgrounds, with her owner/handler Julie Cuming. She came a creditable 3rd in a very tough Post Graduate class, qualifying for Crufts 2017. We look forward to watching her do well over the forthcoming season.

Shoalhill dogs had a very successful day today at the National Terrier Show at Staffordshire showgrounds. Shoalhill newcomer Jimmy (Saradon Make My Day), made a spectacular debut by winning his puppy class, securing his place at Crufts next year.

Toby (Shoalhill Galahad) did what he does best, beating off tough competition to win first place in Limit under judge Mr. E. Allen (Penparc).

Crufts, the best dog show in the world is always the highlight of our year. Competing against the top dogs in the world is always a challenge, so when Toby was placed reserve in Limit we were very pleased.

Another Shoalhill dog, Maggie (Shoallhill Miss Bossy Boots) owned and handled by Julie Cuming, also exceeded expectations by being placed reserve in Post Graduate bitch, a very difficult class.

Looking Back at Shoalhill Success in 2015

Before the 2016 season kicks off, I thought I'd share some of Toby's wins during 2015. Starting with a 1st place in Post Graduate Dog at the National Terrier Champ Show in April, then another 1st in Post Graduate at Birmingham National. Followed by the highlight of the year - a 1st in Limit and Reserve CC at the Welsh KC Champ Show in August. Another 1st in Limit at the Wire Fox Terrier Association Champ Show, finished his year on a high.
