Sylvie and her mum, Ritz, came for a short holiday at Carolake. I was so impressed by this lovely chunky puppy, her confident attitude and
her beautiful conformation. Luckily her breeder, Diana Cruttwell, agreed to let her stay and become part of our family.
I look forward to campaigning her.
Sylvie has made a very good first impression in the show ring, winning three Best Puppy in Breed, two Best of Breed, Gundog Puppy Group 1, Reserve
Best Puppy in Show as well as qualifying for Crufts 2015 and also qualifying for Hampshire Top Dog 2015. She has fitted in well with the other girls
at Carolake and proved she can pick fur (a dead rabbit) and feather (next door's duck! returned unharmed), so she may have a future in the field as
well as the show ring.
Sylvie gained her Junior Warrant and Stud Book Number with ease. This means she is qualified for Crufts for life. At the Golden Retriever Club
championship show in July she won her last class as a puppy and was Reserve Best Puppy in Show, an excellent way to complete her puppy career. A litter
of puppies from Bliss has kept everyone at home, along with a rather drastic change of coat. Once she is full coat she will return to the show
ring, but for the moment she is having a well deserved break.
2014 Sylvie and I had a fantastic time in the show ring. She lived up to all my expectations and the judges loved her. She not only won Best Puppy in Breed several times over, she was also Best of Breed on two occasions. She won two Puppy Groups and was placed in three more with three Reserve Best Puppy in Show awards. We did have fun travelling to Ireland with Demi for company, and Sylvie thrilled us by winning four classes under Malcolm Godefroy at Ulster GRC Championship Show. She easily gained her Junior Warrant before she was 10 months old. Her last show of 2014 was in August where she won her first Junior class at Bournemouth Championship Show. All my girls had 6 months off while I recovered from spinal surgery. I look forward to getting Sylvie back in the ring in 2015
