At the same show Joy (Ch Neut Ch Cardiwest BountyOvSpring) was awarded Best Neuter in Group, then Best Neuter in Show. This was a great result for the Cardiwest team.

December 2013 – JB is Top Intermediate Working Dog 2013, based on all breeds point scores. Awarded by the WDC of WA(Inc). We are so proud of this little girl who has retained her loving personality.

19 November 2011 – Joy’s first show since her emergency sterilisation – Best Neuter in Group and Best Neuter in Show. At the same show the brace pair of Joy and JB were awarded second place out of an entry of 7. Well done girls.

5 October 2011 – Perth Royal and her first Champ Show since she became ill. She did so well and won Best of Breed. What a little Champion. She and her father took the crowds in their stride and seemed to really enjoy the pats and cuddles; such sweeties.

5 August 2011 – JB has been out of the ring for a while. At the end of June she became unwell and needed surgery where it was discovered she had eaten a piece of a rubber ball which had perforated her bowel. This has been repaired and she has made a full recovery and we hope to see her back in the ring in the near future. We have puppies at the moment and do not exhibit when the puppies are very young.

May 28th & 29th 2011 – She’s doing well. On Saturday Mrs J Sach (WA) awarded her BOB and Minor in Group and on Sunday Mrs A Bowe (NSW) again awarded her BOB and Minor in Group. As a breeder it is very rewarding to see JB’s qualities recognised and as a Cardigan fancier it is equally satisfying to see the breed so well represented in the General Specials ring.

Apr 9 2011 – JB has had 3 Best Baby in Group wins over the last month but today she went the next step and was awarded Best Baby in Show by Mrs J McRae (WA) at the Hills Kennel Club Open Show. Such a proud moment; she is a very special little girl.

Jan 23 2011 – Gemma gains the final points for her Australian Title (CAWA pending). Gemma will now retire from the show ring and practise couch potato technique, a pastime that her mother (Ch Kalora Isabeau) often tried to perfect.

Oct 10th 2010 – Judge Mr S Tonkin (WA) awarded Cardiwest Indigo (Mindy) Best Exhibit in Group and Best Puppy in Group.
