Tess, my second flatcoat and first show flatcoat
Bred from beautiful traditional british lines
Consistently placed at championship shows in her early years although was quite naughty in the ring!!
She did increasingly well in 2006 and qualified for Crufts 2007, which were delighted about!
CRUFTS 2007...placed 5th in Under Graduate (25 entries) under Val Jones (Braemist) and cut to final 8 in Graduate (25 entries) - thrilled to bits!
2008 - a great start to the New Year - Tess gained her stud book number under Judge Mike Anderson at Boston Championship Show, in strong Limit class of 16, thereby qualifying her for Crufts for life.
Jan 2009 - both Tess' son and daughter Archie and Nell have qualified for Crufts 2010
Jun 2009 - Tess came 2nd in the Open Bitch class at Border Union under Jim Richardson.
After a leg operation Tess retired gracefully from her show career and is now enjoying retirement, having recently reached double-digits.
