We are delighted with Rita and Michael's progress in the showring since they started their show career in July 2010 at six months old. 

They have both had class wins at Championship shows along with 2nd, 3rd and minor placings.

At open shows they have both won Utility puppy groups, Michael has had several Best Puppy, Best of Breed and two Adult Group 2 placings, whilst Rita has had several  Best Puppy, Best Bitch and Best of Breed awards.
