"Teazel" goes BOB again,this time with a Grp 2nd!
"Breeze" wins BOB Baby Puppy
"Bracken" wins Speciality Best Veteran In Show
"Teazel" takes BOB & Grp 3rd.
Teazel has been very lightly shown due to her being a slow maturing bitch & us campaigning her half sister "Pebble" & daughter "Folly",despite this she has 1 UK CC & is very rarely unplaced both in the UK & Ireland on the few occassions when she has been shown..Sunday was one of those 'rare' occassions & she certainly did'nt disappoint despite the fact that it was so windy that it was very difficult to keep upright at times & the tape around the ring ended up wrapped around her legs & then in the challenge she had a loose boxer chasing her & wanting to play on her way back to the judge on the "to the corner & back" bit! lol But she obviously had done enough to suitably impress the judge & she was awarded BOB & then Grp 3rd. We are very pleased with how Teazel is looking at the minute & are hoping to campaign her more both here in Ireland & England.
Teazel's daughter "Folly" Mossbawnhill U Bet I Am (Jun Ch.) won the Grad dog/bitch class & in the Open dog/bitch class that Teazel won,her mum "Bracken" Collooney Mamma Mia was 2nd to her & 3rd was a grand daughter of Bracken's & a neice of Teazel's "Damson" Mossbawnhill Smooth As Silk For Rushden & her son "Smoke" Rushden Where There's Smoke With Mossbawnhill was 3rd in the Jun dog/bitch class.
A big thankyou to the judge Mr Steve Atkinson for braving the weather & appreciating our dogs.

The Puppies Have Arrived!
Critique for "Maple" from Nick Gourley (Witchstone)
"Dickenson's Mossbawnhill Timeless Epic From Ribblesmere. Blue fawn parti-color bitch with a feminine head & lovely neck. Won here on her correct topline with distinct rise over the loin. Very good bend of stifle & low driving hocks. Came into her own on the move in profile BB"
"Ash's" RBIS & BOSIS critique from WCOW
The critique for "Ash" Mossbawnhill Ltd Edition To Yialousa from specialist Di Morgan (Meandi) for her BCC,RBIS & BOSIS has now appeared in the dog press...here is a copy of it below:
"Mixides Mossbawnhill Ltd Edition To Yialousa.CC Pale fawn/white,I judged this bitch as a puppy awarding her Best Puppy on that occasion & was delighted to meet her again,now fully mature with a strong well muscled body,she is not overdone in any way & has the classic make & shape that I was looking for. Elegant & stylish both standing & moving. She flagged a little in the challenge which just gave the dog BOB."
New Litter expected in Feb!
"Pebble" UK,IR & INT Ch. Mossbawnhill It's All Bout Me (European Winner 09) was mated to "Cedar" Mossbawnhill Better Son & she has now been confirmed in whelp and her litter will be due in Feb 2011.
This will be Pebble's first litter as she has done so well in the ring that we felt we'd like to finish campaigning her before she left for maternity duties! It is a line bred litter so hopefully it will not be a million miles away in quality,movement & type from our wonderful "Double T" litter that produced "Folly" M.U Bet I Am, "Riley" Aust Ch. M.I Am Legend,"Maple" M.Timeless Epic From Ribblesmere,"Crumpet" M.Glamorous & "Piper" M.Blaze Of Glory In Gwendariff .
We are really looking forward to this litter as the pedigree combines some truly wonderful lines & dogs and we strongly believe that Cedar is the right dog for Pebble as he compliments her beautifully,we are expecting modestly sized whippets with the wonderful tempraments & breed type of both parents along with their effortless movement.
We already have bookings for this litter (depending on the size of the litter) but if you think you might be interested in offering a loving home (either pet/companion or show) for one of these very special puppies then please contact us thru our "contact page" on this website thankyou.
"Folly" takes N.I Hound Of The Year 2010 title!!
A very big & gracious THANKYOU to the judge for appreciating our two youngsters (Folly is still only 22mths)
Photo of Folly & the judge below:
New Champion!!
But we are over the moon to say that "Riley" Mossbawnhill I Am Legend can now be formally know as Australian Champion Mossbawnhill I Am Legend as he gained his final points (back in Sept 10) for his Australian Ch. Title & we could'nt be prouder!!!! "Riley" resides at the very well known "Taejaan" kennel in Australia consisting of Molly Rule-Steele,Sonia Turay & Alicia Taylor he was handled to his wins & title by Molly & Sonia. He is now being given a short rest to let him mature...both mentally & physically!!!! and then hopefully he will come back out again & be selectively campaigned later in the year.
MASSIVE CONGRATULATIONS to all at Taejaan for his title & THANKYOU for keeping the little Mossbawnhill flag flying in Australia.
"Crumpet" qualifies for Crufts 2011 @ her 1st UK Ch show
At the same show Jean Dickenson (Ribblesmere) who owns & handles "Maple" Mossbawnhill Timeless Epic From Ribblesmere who incidently is Crumpet's litter sister,won the YB class from an entry of 15 and our own "Folly" Mossbawnhill U Bet I Am (again another litter sister) was VHC in the same class. And "Badger" Ir Ch Mossbawnhill Better Man took Res (4th) in OD (21 entries),"Smoke" Rushden Where There's Smoke With Mossbawnhill & "Pebble" UK,IR & INT Ch. Mossbawnhill It's All Bout Me (European Winner 09) were both shortlisted in their classes of MPD (entry of 20) & OB (entry of 22) respectively. So not too bad a trip for us to the UK.
Actually Jean & "Maple" have had a rather good end to 2010 as the previousd two shows that they attended before LKA they won both their PG classes & also took BOS at one.....first show was Border Counties Hound on 14th Nov 10 where Nick Gourley (Witchstone) was judging & he gave Maple the PG class from an entry of 10 & then went on to award her BOS and the second show was at Sedgley & Gornal Canine Assoc on 28th Nov 10 under breed judge Fiona Mycroft (Supeta's) where she again won 1st PG from an entry of 11.

The first was @ Whippet Club Of Ireland Ch Show under UK breed specialist Mrs Patsy Gilmour where Folly also went Best Jun in Show and the second was @ Hound Assoc Of Ireland Grp Ch Show under Paula Heikkinen-Lehkonen from Finland where she not only managed to win the JB class but also took the GS (CAC),Best Bitch & BOB and then topped that off with a Grp 2nd under Adolofo Martinez Noguera from Spain.
Some recent news from the "Mossbawnhills" in England

"Brindle & White youngster that was very confident in the ring,nothing exaggerated about this bitch. Feminine head,neat ears which she carried well. Elegant neck,leading into good shoulders,lovely deep brisket with the correct rise over the loin,nicely angulated hindquarters,presenting an overall balanced picture."
Well Done to Jean & Maple.

WELL DONE! Daniela & Clay.

HUGE CONGRATULATIONS!!to Natalia,Julia,Toni & Fanta!
THREE WHIPPETS STOLEN!!!!
Three whippets that were bred by us have been stolen from their home in South Tipperary in Ireland - I am attaching the photo's below...there was another whippet stolen too but I don't know much about him unfortunately but the three that we bred are all microchipped I do not know if the fourth one was or not?..I think he is a red fawn parti but don't know anymore than that.At this moment in time I cannot tell you much other than they were taken on Friday 27th August,I am waiting for Tony their owner to get back to me with more details...but what I do know is that the guards (police) have been involved & the area has been searched extensively & that all the rescue centers & local dog pounds have also been notified,whoever stole the dogs broke into Tony's house to gain access to them as they all lived indoors & as far as we know they left via a back field as there was a makeshift leash made from blue baler twine found lying in the field & another in the yard. Tony is understandably devastated & just as soon as I know more I shall post again.
Please,please if anyone knows where these dogs might be,could you tel me on 028 42772292...no questions asked,just please return the dogs safe & sound or let us know where they are & we can collect them & return them to their devastated owner.
Pamela.
"Folly" goes BOB & Grp 2nd!

"Pebble" gains her UK title in style!!! ~ 31st May 10
This is the first UK/GB Champion for Mossbawnhill & we are really proud to say that she took all 3 CC's (2 with BOB)under very well respected judges two of whom are breed specialists & the third a very well known Hound Specialist & BIS judge.
CC & BIS...Espen Engh (Nor) from the "Jet's" affix
CC...Marie-Christine Delabelle (Belg) from the "Di Mahana" affix
CC,BOB & Grp 1st...Jarmo Vuorinen (Fin) from the "Scheik's" affix & Grp judge Denys Simpson (UK)
Today the breed was judged by specialist Jarmo Vuorinen who is behind the "Scheik's" kennel in Finland & the group was judged by Denys Simpson who is from the UK.
"Pebble" managed to win the OB class from an entry of 17,then took her 3rd & crowning CC & then managed to take BOB from a very strong overall entry of 251 whippets..this was for us the "icing on the cake" as we were thrilled to get her UK title but then she went one better & totally surprised us by winning an extremely strong Hound Group....definitely a day to remember for us!!
The lovely critique from the group judge is below....
"G1 the Whippet,Ir Ch Mossbawnhill It's All Bout Me,& it certainly was all about her in this group,caught my eye immediately for her quality & type,super feminine bitch with shapely,flowing outline,most beautiful head with strong underjaw,well constructed body with deep brisket,strongly muscled quarters,good bend of stifle which she used to move freely & with drive,beautifully presented." Denys Simpson.
Other Mossbawnhill's also did well today as "Folly" Mossbawnhill U Bet I Am was 3rd in a good Junior Bitch class of 15 and "Ellie" Mossbawnhill She's Eleqtric At Salatini who is owned & handled by Nikki Hunter of the Salatini affix in England was 2nd in the second largest class of the day,Limit Bitch which had 24 entries.
Ryan & I would just like to take this opportunity to thank both the judges who thought as highly of "Pebble" as we do.
THANKYOU.
News & Pics from Russia ~ 13th May 10
On the 28th March 10 at the Int show in Moscow under O.Dolesova (CzR) "Fanta" won the Res Junior CAC,then the following month April 25th 10 at another Int show this time in Saratov "Toni" won the CACIB & was BOS to his daughter "Fanta" who won the Jun CAC,was Best Jun in breed,BOB & ended up Grp 2nd! Bearing in mind that she wont be a year old until June,we think she is doing extremely well!!

The Mini-Circuit 1st-3rd May 2010 ~ new INT Ch!
Other Mossbawnhill's also did well over the weekend...for full results please see "Result's" page.
And finally I would just like to make a small mention to Lynne Stratton who owns "Crumpet" Mossbawnhill Glamorous as they both debuted this week-end at two of the shows Fermoy & the Hound Club (she was judging elsewhere on the Sun) and managed to get a very respectable 3rd place with Excellent on both occassions! And considering that Lynne has never handled in a show ring before both Ryan & I feel that she has very obviously made a huge effort with Crumpet and spent a lot of time on her and it paid off!! So really WELL DONE!! Lynne & Crumpet!
Photo's below of "Bracken" by "Collooney"

"Pebble" & "Folly" win Ch & Jun Stakes at BDSS Open Show

What a weekend!! ~ culminating in a New INT Ch!
We are absoloutley thrilled to say that "Pebble" Ir Ch Mossbawnhill It's All Bout Me (EW09) is now an INT CH!! She gained her title at Combined Canine Club Int Show held on Saturday 3rd April 2010 under the well known & respected judge Mr Robert Paust (Swed/USA) and she managed to do it in style too with a BOB & a Grp 2nd! Her Group placing was under Ms Natalia Nekrosiene (Lith).
We also did well with our other dogs under Robert Paust as "Timber" Ir Ch M.Exclusive (CJW08) was Res Green Star (dog) & Res CACIB (which should end up as an actual CACIB (giving him 3) as the CACIB winning dog is already an INT Ch) and his daughter "Folly" M.U Bet I Am was Res GS (bitch) from the Junior Bitch Class (her first time out of Puppy)
A really HUGE THANKYOU! to both judges...Mr Robert Paust & Ms Natalia Nekrosiene for appreciating our dogs as much as we do!
Also over the Easter weekend there has been a little success story from Molly Rule-Steele & Sonia Turay (Taejaan) in Australia who own "Riley" M.I Am Legend who managed a Jun Class win at the Sydney Royal Easter Show on Thurs 1st April (I believe this qualifies Riley for Crufts 2011) under J. Nallem from Uraquay repeated the following day (Fri 2nd April) at The Whippet Club Of NSW Speciality Ch Show under breed specialist Mr Mike Howgate (Palmik) from England & then topped that on the Saturday (3rd April) at the 2nd Whippet Club Of NSW "Whippet Speciality" Ch Show where he managed another Jun Class win with the Dog CC this time coupled with Best Jun In Show!!!!! This was under another breed specialist Mrs Anne-Marie Curran (Chakrata) from South Australia.
So a GREAT! weekend for Mossbawnhill.
HUGE CONGRATULATIONS!!
to all at team Taejaan as they also picked up 2 BOB's & a BIS with their own breeding along the way!

Gilroy & Glen Boy both have their coursing licences & Glen Boy is a Swiss Jun Ch (details below)
We wish their owners all the very best for the future with them.
Pics below:
Mossbawnhill Grandson gets his Swiss Jun Ch title
Glen Boy has also very recently passed the Swiss breeding entrance examination ZZP Rifferswil.
This examination consisted of two parts.....
Firstly the judges evaluate the temperament & behaviour of the dog.
And secondly they assess the dogs conformation & gait.
We are very pleased to say that Glen Boy passed both parts and he is now approved for breeding.

"Ritva" 5wks old & already on the stack!
"Ritva" was a singleton puppy but she is certainly not shaping up to be a disappointment..both Ryan & I love her and we are really looking forward to watching her grow up & mature.
Cruft's 2010
We also had some quite good & unexpected (as we did'nt think that our breeding would be the judges type) class placings. Firstly in Special Puppy Bitch under specialist Mary Rigby (Poachyn)all three litter sisters were shortlisted down to last 8 from a good strong entry of 21,that was "Piper" Mossbawnhill Blaze Of Glory In Gwendariff who is owned & handled by Albert Ritchie, "Maple" M.Timeless Epic From Ribblesmere owned & handled by Jean Dickenson and of course our own "Folly" M.U Bet I Am who is handled by me (Pamela). The end result was Maple in Res (4th) and Folly VHC (5th) unfortunately Piper did'nt make the final line but it was still some going for all three sisters to be in the final cut!!
Then in OB from another large entry of 25 this time including 7 Champions "Pebble" Ir Ch Mossbawnhill It's All Bout Me (EW09) ended up VHC (5th) handled as always by Ryan. Also in the dogs we were pleased with our result in the OD class under Terry Nethercott as "Badger" Ir Ch Better Man was shortlisted to the last 8 from a really HUGE entry of 31, again including some Champions..14 this time!! Unfortunately he went no further & did'nt make the final line up but he showed his socks off for me & quite a few people commented very nicely on how well he showed & especially moved in the class. Badger never puts a paw wrong & is a real showman,he thoroughly enjoyed his day!!
Anita Mixides (Yialousa) had a nice day too as she also managed a VHC (5th) but in JB with her lovely young orange brindle girl..."Scarlett" Yialousa Scarlet Ribbon who is a Mossbawnhill grand-daughter as she is out of "Ash" M.Ltd Edition To Yialousa.
Photos below very kindly takne & supplied by Pauline Oliver.
"Toni" is now a Belarus Champion!
Julia travelled to Minsk in Belarus with "Toni" for two Int Ch shows on the 6th & 7th March 2010 & on both days he was entered into the Open Dog class where he was 1st with Exc & received the CAC thus giving him his Belarus Ch title,the judges were both from Poland.... Andrzej Szutkiewicz (6th) & Malgorzata Wieremiejczyk-Wierzchowska (7th)
BIG CONGRATULATIONS!! to Natalia,Julia & Toni.
"Pebble" tops the Ch Stakes
We also had a bit of success in the breed too under Sandra Marshall (Lowerdon) from the UK,"Folly" Mossbawnhill U Bet I Am was 1st PB & her grandmum "Bracken" Collooney Mamma Mia was 1st OB & Res GS bitch.
So not a bad day!!
Thankyou to Dr Tamas Jakkel for his lovely compliments about "Pebble".
"Folly" is BPIS!!!
We feel very honoured to have achieved this accolade under two very well respected judges of such long standing & wish to say a BIG thank you to them both for their lovely comments about Folly.
This means Folly is now qualified for Crufts 2011,along with her sister "Maple" Mossbawnhill Timeless Epic who qualified at Manchester Ch Show last month (Jan)
Mike Howgate also gave "Timber" Ir Ch Mossbawnhill Exclusive (CJW08) a first place in an extremely strong OD class...."Timber" is Folly's sire.
All photos below are by http://www.dewerstonephotography.co.uk/
"Flax" takes Res BPIS!!
WAY TO GO FLAX!!
"Toni" & his Daughter "Fanta" take BOB & BPIB
Toni is owned by sister's Natalia Malyarenko & Julia Eliseeva and handled by Julia & Fanta is owned & handled by her breeder Natalia.
BIG CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN TO YOU ALL!!
Another BOB for "Bracken"
Our oldest girl & the foundation stone of Mossbawnhill "Bracken" (Collooney Mamma Mia) showed the youngsters how it should be done by winning the OB class & going BOB from a sizeable entry of 40 whippets,she also went 3rd BIS...there were no groups as it was a single group show.
Not to be outdone our other dogs also managed to do well too..."Folly" (Mossbawnhill U Bet I Am) was 2nd in the AV hound puppy bitch stakes and also 2nd in Junior dog or bitch in the breed class and her mum "Teazel" (Mossbawnhill Turn Up The Sun) was 1st LB which meant that the judge definitely judged to type on this occassion!
We also had our Basenji "Drift" (Ir Ch Zordia's Shooting Star Over Mossbawnhill (An Ch 07 & CW 08)) entered and he was Best AV Hound NSC and was also shortlisted in the BIS line-up. So another great day for Mossbawnhill.
We would like to thank the Judge Dagmar Kenis-Pordham for appreciating our dogs as much as we do.
"Fanta" Mossbawnhill G.daughter in Russia
She is by "Toni" Russ Ch Mossbawnhill Celtic Legacy (Russ Jun Ch) who is in turn by "Badger" Ir Ch Mossbawnhill Better Man. Fanta is out of Russ,RKF,BLR,KAZ,MDL,Eurasia & Int Ch
PERFETTO TOP MODELLA iz Volzhskoy Serenady (Russ Jun Ch) and is partly line-bred on the "Du Sac A Malices" lines from France. We think that Fanta is a really lovely young bitch & a great prospect for the future and wish her owner/breeder/handler Natalia Malyarenko all the very best with her...she has already got one BPIB under her belt at her very first show & I am certain that it is just a taste of things to come!!
Another critique for Maple & some stunning pics of her too!
The critique is from breed specialist Heather Cleaver (Pencleave) UK) and is for 2nd in a junior class.
"Silver brindle & white bitch,built on longer lines than the first,feminine head,neck a little long for me,nice shoulder,good in ribbing & length of loin,well bent stifle,moved soundly,nice profile movement,will watch her progress with interest"
And some stunning pics of her very kindly taken & sent to us by Linda Horton & Jean Dickenson.
More new pics...this time from Bermuda of "Oscar" & "Cookie"
"Oscar" Bermuda Ch Mossbawnhill Going Places & "Cookie" Mossbawnhill's Fairytail are owned by the Maiato family & Tali who handles Oscar in the showring very kindly sent us these recent "family pics".
Both dogs are out of imported bitches that we own & are related via grandsires.
Enjoy the pics!
New pics of "Riley" in Australia.
Riley was the only dog puppy from our super "Double T" litter back in March of last year (09) & we are extremely proud of this litter and how they coming along. Riley has'nt been shown that much as he has been enjoying his puppyhood & being left to mature as these lines are slow to do so but he already has 1CC under his belt & I am sure this year he & Molly will accumulate a few more!
We hope you enjoy the pics as much as we do.
Folly follows in her grandmother's paw-steps!
Jean Dickenson who owns & handles "Maple" M.Timeless Epic had a good day too as she has now managed to qualify Maple for Crufts 2011 by getting a 3rd in her class at her first Ch Show of the year which was also her first time being in the puppy class...so WELL DONE to you both!! Folly was VHC in the same class.
Ryan & I (Pamela) also did quite well in the OD class too by getting 2nd & 3rd places with "Badger" Ir Ch M.Better Man (handled by Ryan for the 1st time..he is usually handled by myself) and "Timber" Ir Ch M.Exclusive (CJW08) (I handled Tim as usual) respectively,the judge was Hound Specialist Mr Graham Hill (UK).
A few of "Maple's" critiques.
From South Wales Kennel Assoc Ch show back in Oct 09 where she was 1st in the MPB class (her litter sister "Folly" M.U bet I Am who we retained was 2nd) under English breed specialist Pauline Oliver (Spyanfly)
"A very appealing,well marked br/w baby. Well balanced & angulated. Lots of scope,with length of neck & body but with ample depth also. Moved with ease around the ring & soundly"
Then from Driffield also in Oct 09 where she was 2nd in the MPB class (her litter sister "Piper" M.Blaze Of Glory who is owned by Albert Ritchie (Gwendariff) was 3rd) under Hound specialist Tim Finney (Gulliagh)
"Very close up to 1,houndy lines,lovely head,neck & topline with well placed arch.Very sound mover,not quite as together as 1 today but another of very good quality"
And finally from Border Counties Hound Club Open show in Nov 09 where she was 1st puppy dog/bitch under Mr Brian A Henry.
"A lovely,feminine youngster with so much to admire,her excellent head,neck & shoulders and balanced conformation. Her speed,power & holding her topline on the move,with good front extension. Correct size for age"
New pics of Jeans Mossbawnhill gang at Ribblesmere.
Another good day out for Bracken
The day started off quite well as we had entered both puppies into the stakes classes "Folly" (M.U Bet I Am) was in the Minor Puppy Bitch Stks & "Rain" (M.I Am All That) was in the Puppy Bitch Stks and both girls were placed...Folly a 2nd & Rain a 3rd. Then onto the breed judging where Folly was in the Puppy dog/bitch class & got a 2nd there also,Rain was in Graduate dog/bitch and she was 2nd there,"Damson" M.Smooth As Silk For Rushden who is owned by Janet Duke & Tracy Gill of the "Rushden" Kennel & handled by Tracy was 3rd in this class.Then we were onto Open Bitch where we had "Teazel" (M.Turn Up The Sun) and her mum "Bracken" entered..Ryan handled Bracken & I Teazel,Bracken won the class & BOB along with a Grp 2nd in a super group and Teazel was 2nd to her mum..so very "typy" judging by the judge!
We also had our Basenji "Drift" (Ir Ch Zordia's Shooting Star Over M.) entered and he managed to take Best AV Hound NSC,which we were really pleased with as he has'nt been in a ring for almost a year,so a great comeback for him and a really good day for Mossbawnhill.
Thank-you to the Judge ~ Helen Wayman.

Pebble gets her 2nd UK CC!!
We are really thrilled to report that on Sunday 30th August 09 after travelling all the way over to Scotland for the Scottish Kennel Club Ch Show "Pebble" Ir Ch Mossbawnhill It's All Bout Me (EW09) took the BCC under breed specialist Marie-Christine Delabelle of the Di Mahana whippet kennel in Belgium,this was Pebble's 2nd CC following hot on the heels of her 1st one (again incidently in Scotland) in June under Espen Engh (Nor). We are now on the hunt for that all too elusive 3rd!!!!!
Her litter brother "Timber" Ir Ch M.Exclusive (CJW08) was 3rd in a very respectable OD class being beaten only by the eventual DCC & Res DCC winners.
So a very worth while trip!
Another Group win for Pebble.
New Ch for Mossbawnhill!!

"Timber" took his last Green Star and title on Saturday 25th July 09 at Dundalk Ch Show under Mrs Zola Rawson (UK/Russ),he will continue to be shown in Ireland in the last few shows that he has been already entered into and he will also be selectively shown in England as he has 1CC but he will mostly enjoy a well earned rest until next March when the first of the Int shows start where he will be campaigned for his last 2 CACIB's to achieve his Int title.
This is the third Ch from this very successful litter of only five!
Whippet Club of Scotland's critiques from Espen Engh
"Scarlett" Yialousa Scarlet Ribbon was 2nd in MPB.
Critiques below:
JD: 2nd Mossbawnhill Better Son. Eyecatching white & brindle dog with generally high quality. More width of skull than I prefer.Long neck.Still needs to develop forechest.Excellent underline.Tends to fall off a bit over the croup.Moved a little narrow in front,but well from behind,acceptable from the side.
LD: 1st Mossbawnhill Exclusive (CJW08).Very attractive white and brindle male who combines substance & elegance to perfection.Masculine head.Long & crested neck.Moderately angulated in front,his markings on the show side make him look straighter in upper arm than he actually is.Excellent underline.When overstretched on the stack,he looks somewhat sloping in topline,but balances out on the move.Covers plenty of ground. Excellent legs & feet. Long,well angulated hindquarters. Moved very effortlessly,sound & supple from all angles. CC.
OD: 2nd Ir Ch Mossbawnhill Better Man. White & brindle male,very powerful and strong but still elegant enough.Masculine head,strong neck.Balanced angulation both ends.Deep chest.Moved better than most from all angles. Could do with some more chiselling all over.
MPB: 2nd Yialousa Scarlet Ribbon. Very attractive feminine bitch of generally very high quality. Beautiful head & expression. Long and elegant neck. Not much between her and the winner and could change places on another day,she scored in curves of body,but lost on reach and drive in movement.
OB: 1st Ir Ch Mossbawnhill It's All Bout Me. Excellent brindle bitch with some white trim,strong yet elegant,excellent size,type & quality,very sound & stands so firmly on her legs & feet.Very typical whippet head with good width of skull,excellent ears. Her neck is elegant yet strong. Excellent front,forechest & depth. In superb rock hard condition which was not the norm on the day. Shapely, well proportioned and balanced body. Moved cleanly & soundly coming and going,well balanced from the side,but could open up a little more for perfection. CC & BOB (BIS)
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Espen Engh for his lovely worded critiques & also for thinking as highly of our dogs as we do.
Bye Bye Maple & Flax.
Litter mates do the double at Sligo Ch Show 19th July 09!

She has settled in remarkably well & is enjoying being the center of attention,everyone loves her who meets her & we wish Lynne all the very best with her.
We were very kindly sent these pics of Crumpet by Lynne yesterday (1st July 09) as you can see she has made herself quite at home already!

Berri finally comes home!
Berri is such a beautifully,even tempered bitch with a lot to love about her and after having a rather rough start in life we know that she will live out the rest of it with us & our "pack". And in a way she is coming home as her dam "Betsi" Gwendariff Blonde Serenade was born in Northern Ireland as she was bred by Albert & Marlene Ritchie of the Gwendariff kennels.
A couple of candid pics of Berri are below.
Sunny gets a new home & a new name.
He is now owned & loved by Corinne Harris and lives with her "pack" who have now become Squiffy's new family,we are really pleased that he has settled so well with them and a HUGE THANKYOU goes to Corinne for offering Squiffy such a wonderful,loving forever home.

Toni is now Russian Junior Champion!
That's all the info I have at the moment but I will update this page with who the judge was and where the show was just as soon as I get it.
New litter due end of March
We decided to do this mating as we felt that Timber complimented Teazel exceptionally well & therefore we are hoping for a very "typy" litter of moderate sized,good quality puppies.And as both parents also have excellent sound movement in all directions we are anticipating these puppies will do too.
If you are interested in a puppy from this forthcoming litter please contact us through the "contact page" on this website.
Thankyou.

NEW Ch..Fin & Nor Ch Mossbawnhill Dream On (Fin JW 07)
"Fallow" is owner handled by Aino Makela in Finland who is also delighted with "Fallow's" achievments,especially considering that this was her first show after her 2nd birthday that she could actually gain her title! (In Finland a dog has to be 2yrs old or over BEFORE he/she can get Ch status..."Fallow turned 2yrs on the 27th Oct) She had 8 CAC's but was unable to get her title until this show,so you can imagine it was a very tense time for all concerned.The Show was on the 23rd November 08 at Jyvaskyla it was an international show and the judge was an Ursula Langer (Ger).
This is actually the 2nd Ch from this small litter of five & a brother is hopefully not too far away from making that THREE!!!
WELL DONE & MANY CONGRATS AINO & FALLOW!!

Two days later on the 19th "Pebble" M.It's All Bout Me handled as always by Ryan took her title at Killarney Ch Show under another breed specialist Mr George Kostopolous (Greece) his affix is "Allsatin",at this show Pebble went on to win Hound Grp 10 under Mr D Allen (UK/Spain) & finished in style by going BIS 4th under Mrs M Supranovich (Pol),we also took the Res GS in dogs that day with "Badger" M.Better Man who is handled by me (Pamela) and 3rd in the Puppy Dog Stakes with "Cedar" M.Better Son handled by Ryan again under Mrs M Supranovich. On the 23rd at Limerick Ch Show we managed to "finish" "Badger" again under another breed specialist Mr Unto Timonen this time from Finland and the famous "Woodbrook's" kennel, we did "the double" at this show where "Pebble" took GS bitch & "Badger" GS dog & BOB,our young puppy bitch "Damson" who is owned by Janet & Tracy (mentioned previously above) took the Res GS,so this was a super day for Mossbawnhill! On the last day at Tralee Ch Show we faired quite well in the Puppy Stakes both dog & bitch and both judged by Mrs Desserne (Fr) "Cedar" was shortlisted in the dog classes to the last four & made the final & "Sorrel" M.Envy Me handled by me was shortlisted too in the final four of the bitch stakes & then ended up 6th overall.
Phew...what a week!!!
Our thanks goes to all the judges who have appreciated our dogs & think as highly of them as we do & also to the owners who campaign them so well worldwide!!
UNBELIEVABLE! 7 CAC's for Mossbawnhill Dream On!!
Today (09/08/08) under judge Libusa Ubrova (Chezh Republic) "Fallow" Mossbawnhill Dream On (Fin JW 07) owner handled by Aino Makela got her 7th CAC & another CACIB,she topped it by going BOB!!
Aino & "Fallow" are now going to have a short well deserved rest until Oct,when they will be back to claim "Fallow's" last crowning CAC because in Finland a dog cannot attain his/her title until they are 2yrs of age & this wont be until after the 27th Oct for "Fallow".
Enjoy your break!

Mossbawnhill Dream On (Fin JW 07) continues her winning ways
Aino & "Fallow" Mossbawnhill Dream On (Fin JW 07) are still managing to continue to appeal to the Judges eye as yesterday at Ylivieska Int Ch Show in Finland under Paula Heikkinen-Lehkonen (Fin) she was 3rd Best Bitch with an Exc and Res-CAC.
WELL DONE Again!!
Mossbawnhill's Better Boy first show
This litter have surprised us as although they have an almost totally 100% American pedigree they are definitely going to be well within the height guidelines set down by the English KC (in fact they look set to be the smallest whippets that we have bred to date!) they are also quite immature and that is something that both Ryan & myself like to see in the Minor Puppy classes as very often a lot of breeders are turning out babies that look like Juniors or older & are finished well before they are a year old.
Mossbawnhill Dream On (Fin JW 07) makes it a double this weekend
Today's show was Oulu All Breeds and Fallow was owner handled as always by Aino Makela the Judge was Monique Van Brempt (Belg) & along with the CAC Fallow also went BOB and then under Grp 10 Judge Lars Adeheimer (Swed) she took BIG 4, this has been quite a weekend for the pair and we are thrilled for them...keep up the good work girls & THANKYOU for flying the "Mossbawnhill Flag" in Finland so well for us!!
Bye Bye Mossbawnhill Irresitible
Mossbawnhill Dream On (Fin JW 07) does it again
We are thrilled to learn today (12th July 08) that "Fallow" Mossbawnhill Dream On (Fin JW 07) was 2nd Best Bitch,took another CAC & Res CACIB at Oulu International Show (Finland) under judge Lars Adeheimer (Sweden) this actually gives her enough to be a Finnish & Norwegian Ch but unfortuantely the rules over there state that one CAC must be gained after the dogs 2nd birthday so she will have to wait until after the 27th October to claim her final CAC & crown!
This super team also won the Pohjois-Pohjanmaa District Junior Handling Championships judged by Rob Douma (Neth)
Many CONGRATS to you both girls,it is well deserved!!

...Just got these results through from Darlington Ch show where we are thrilled to learn that under breed specialist Mrs Di Morgan (Meandi) Mossbawnhill Ltd Edition To Yialousa (Ash) has continued her winning ways and was owner handled to BEST PUPPY IN BREED by Anita Mixides and then was shortlisted in the Puppy Group! At the same show Mossbawnhill Supersonic At Yialousa (Beau) was VHC...he is also owned and handled by Anita and Mossbawnhill She's Eleqtric At Salatini (Ellie) was 3rd in Open Bitch,she is also owner handled but by Nikki Hunter. A huge CONGRATULATIONS from us to you all!!
We also did extremely well with the Whippets...doing "the double" TWICE and also taking a few reserve's along the way too.Badger now only needs another one GS to gain his title and both pups have three each already and Pebble also has two Grp wins under belt too..all this and she is only 10mths old!!! We are very proud of our little teams achievements in such a short time.
We have some great news...but with a slight twist to it!
On Sunday at Monkstown Int Ch Show Drift our Basenji got his seventh Green Star which under normal circumstances would make him a Champion!! BUT in the South of Ireland we are under FCI and one of their rules is...to become a Champion the dog must have seven Green Stars under seven different judges and the last Green Star must be attained when the dog is 15mths or older...unfortunately Drift is not 15mths until the 18th of this month,so still needs to gain another Green Star,we hope to "finish" him on the Munster Circuit in 2wks time.
