Spaniels "Vom Belauer See (FCI)"

09.03.2023

This year it was time to attend Crufts again and show one of my home bred Field Spaniels “Noble Alice vom Belauer See”.

Under honorable judge Mrs. Jayne Bennett (Jesham), UK, Alice came 3^rd in a very strong Open Class. I am very proud, that her quality has been recognized and we got a placement. Not easy at Crufts.

Overall the trip has been very nice. Meeting already on the ferry with my friends Eva-Marie Bergstrand, her husband Clas and Sanna, we spent the days with shopping at Antique Stores, Garden Centers, visting a Café for tea time and the nice dinners in the evening, catching up on all kinds of topics.

Eva showed the litter brother Otis and litter sister Lily of my own English Springer boy Curtis, who is bred by Eva. It has been really nice to watch the two siblings in and out of the ring. You can see the family type!

The weather has been a big surprise! Winter came back to England and we got quite a bit of snow. Our Hotel was a converted old Abbey, beautifully surrounded by a huge park and estate. The perfect location for visiting Crufts.

I am also very happy about the offspring of my co-owned “Prince Arthur vom Belauer See At Nadavin” (McGregor), who did really well at Crufts.

There were altogether 6 sons and daughters of him from several litters, all bred by Jill & Charles Holgate, Kennel Nadavin. The Reserve Dog CC and the Reserve Bitch CC were taken by offspring of McGregor. The other four were all placed in their classes as well, mainly with 1^st and 2^nd places. One came 4^th. I think, these are great results also for his progeny. Congratulations to the breeders!
