Meet Katie ~ MEADOWLEIGH A WISH FOR KATIE who was sired by 'WES'...SH CH/IRISH SH CH MEADOWLEIGH BROWN SUGAR SWGC, who we bred and whose mother was our late sweetest chocolate girl Mariella.
Her mummy is our MEADOWLEIGH ROMANTIC QUEST...Maya who has her STUD BOOK NUMBER.

NESSA is very proud of her big sister who has qualified for Crufts 2020 three times and proving to be another lovely girl in so many ways

She lives in Stroud, Gloucestershire with her owners Ann & Mike Bullingham, their son John and another little four legged friend Molly, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel x Cocker.

Katie enjoys happy walks in the countryside, fun in the garden, runming about in the village Paddock and sometimes, trips to shows.
Dog Showing has been a learning curve for Ann and Mike and the family who love her dearly and Katie has achieved some super successes which have included...

2nd Yearling Bitch at United Retriever Club Championship Show in August 2019

2nd Yearling Bitch at Paignton & District Championship Show in August 2019

3rd Yearling Bitch at Bournemouth Championship Show August 2019

A big Thank You to Becci Hodge ( Naiken ) for handling her

Katie's favourite pastime is watching the birds in the garden coming and going and cuddling up on the sofa but like all Wes's children, she also has a naughty streak like stealing socks from the laundry basket & digging up the flower beds..All deeds which has earned her the other title at home of 'Little Minx'!

Katie is Hereditary clear of prcd - PRA & EIC ~ December 2017
