Welcome to The British Chihuahua Club
OUR 75TH ANNIVERSARY CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW Mrs Lyn Ison (Lynpix) was the Smoothcoat judge and chose Serena Hunt's Champion Diamonchi Button Moon for Moltobello as her dog CC and Best of Breed. The bitch CC was claimed by Emma Huntley with Jahneemah's Just The Ticket. Reserve CCs went to Dorothy Entwistle's dog Dorenty's Arfa Sixpence and Steve Rooney's Champion Yorone We've Got The Moves, while smoothcoat Best Puppy and Best Veteran were Emma Hicks' import Xmas Dancer De Petit Roi Mojito at Casiatodo and Felicity Murray's Borjomi Brightness respectiively. Former longtime BCC committee member, Treasurer and Secretary Mr Guy Hazlehurst
returned to the club to judge Longcoats and his choice for Dog CC and Best of Breed
fell upon Emma Hicks' longcoat Champion, import Chiquita De Oro Top Ten at Casiatodo,
while Dorothy Entwistle's Champion Dorentys Heidi Hi took the bitch CC.
Reserve DCC went to Teresa Barker's Mocha Vanilla Baralicia and there was more
success for Dorothy with her second RCC of the day awarded to her up-and-coming
puppy bitch Dorenty Textututango, also awarded longcoat Best Puppy. The
longcoat Best Veteran was Sharon Robson's UK and Japanese Champion
Go My Way Jp's Sherry Gold with Tidos. Earlier this year at our Open Show in May, for the first time we included Baby Puppy classes, newly sanctioned by the Kennel CLub, for dogs of 4 and less than 6 months. We offered these classes again for this show, and several promising youngsters were entered. Best s/c Baby Puppy was Di Fothergill's Diamonchi Italian Stallion and the l/c was Michelle Emmerson's cheekily-named Ismirelle's Kiss My Fluff. Due to KC rules on these classes the winners were not able to compete further. At the end of the morning's Dog classes the annual Ballybroke Memorial Puppy Stakes class was held in memory of the late Graham and Margaret Foote. Our Best in Show judge Mr Tony Allcock OBE awarded the winner's certificate and £50 cash prize (donated by the family) to Nick and Leah Todd-McCoid's beautiful longcoat puppy dog Rubyanlo Dream Boy. Then at the end of the show, he chose the smoothcoat BOB, Serena Hunt's dog Ch Diamonchi Button Moon for Moltobello as Best in Show (pictured left) while Emma Hicks' dog Ch Chiquita De Oro Top Ten at Casiatodo was Reserve. Best Puppy in Show went to Dorothy's Dorenty Textututango with Sharon Robson's Ch/JapCh Go My Way Jp's Sherry Gold with Tidos taking Best Veteran in Show. We would like to thank all the exhibitors who attended and all the very hard-working
officers, committee members and volunteers who made the show both possible and
successful. Full results have been posted up on our Facebook page

BCC CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW 2023 As well as the usual classes, there was a new annual AV Stakes class for puppies of both coats and sexes named the Ballybroke Stakes to commemorate the late great Mr & Mrs Graham and Margaret Foote, who both contributed so much to our club. The family sponsored the class with a £50 cash first prize, which was awarded on this inaugural occasion by their daughter and well-known judge Miss Alison Foote to Mr Steve Rooney and his smoothcoat dog puppy Yorone Two Can Play That Game. |
