Congratulations to Mrs J Robinson and Mr D Brown on their Hovawart  Hightimbers Oreo Cookie being the first Hovawart to be awarded the Show Certificate Of Excellence (SHCEX) this award is gained by accumulating 50 points at General and Group Open shows. 1 point is awarded for each Best of Breed win and further points can be gained from Group placings.  Teigan ( Hightimbers Oreo Cookie ) gained the points between 08.06.24 and 03.05.26 as the dog/bitch must be over 18 months old before they can start to gain points towards this title. Teigan had in total 29 Best of Breed wins, 8 Working Group placings and a Best In Show from Steve Martin at Easton and Barnaby Open Show which gave her 10 points and a day I am sure they will not forget.  Which I hope was celebrated in style.

Further details of awards you can gain in the show ring or in other disciplines can all be found on the RKC website www.royalkennelclub.com
