We must also say well done to Sammie and Woody who were part of the local flyball team (Bassett Hotdogs) who won the flyball british championships and also broke the flyball british record for the fastest time ever. Well done Sammie and all your boys for such a successful summer. Anne Boyles and Meg have enjoyed travelling to some familiar venues but also investigated new shows. Anne says, "I enjoy the outings – meeting new people and chatting with old friends. Shows are a good way to take time out from a busy week and relax. We have 14 steeplechase points towards the next grade at UKA shows – only 10 more needed!! Meg still has a problem with contacts – why go all the way down to the bottom of the A frame when you can leap off as you come over the top!! We are re-training contacts from the beginning and it's slow work but I'm dreaming of a clear agility round next year. That's my goal". We all wish Anne good luck for achieving her goal.

July 2010 - Its been a while since our last update but we have some news to report. Cortons' November Unaffiliated Show Schedule is now ready for downloading and can be found here. The Juniors have been very busy collecting rosettes again this time at Tewkesbury. We watched Rosie and Millie Sawyer do very well with Honey, Dinkie, Kes and Dottie and also Joshua and Matthew Belcher with Rudi. They all took part in the full range of classes on offer with Jumping, Steeplechase, Agility and the Junior classes that were available. Millie and Dinkie had their first ever clear round in competition in beginners Steeplechase and gained a 3rd in junior jumping. Kes ran her first junior agility run class with Millie, and later gained a 3rd with Rosie in junior jumping, a 2nd in junior jumping with both girls on different days and a total of 5 clear rounds in steeplechase. Dottie gained a 1st in junior agility and a 4th with Millie, Honey gained 4th in junior jumping with Rosie and jumped clear round beginners steeplechase but was sadly just out of time. Dottie and Jillian won a champ jumping and senior Steeplechase classes putting her up to Champ level steeplechase. Her win in champ jumping also gave her enough points for her CAP1 (Champion of Agility Performance). Dottie and Jillian also competed in the Masters class which is a combination of 2 classes open to all champ dogs she came 2nd in the jumping and 3rd in the agility making her 2nd overall and qualifying her for the Masters final. She also went through 2 rounds of the Nationals qualifiers and qualified in the top 15 for the final finishing 3rd overall in her height. So a huge well done to you all for your successes. Matthew and Joshua Belcher, competing at their first week long competition, shared Mattys' dog Rudi competing in all the Beginners Midi classes each day. Matthew won a 1st place in Junior Agility on the very first day of the competition, Josh soon followed suit running a good 2nd place in the Beginners Steeplechase at Midi height. Josh followed this with another 2nd place the next day in the Beginners Steeplechase Midi and then gained a clear round on the last day, just missing out on a place. Matthew also took part in a grade 1-3 Jumping class at Lansdown KC Show earlier in July where he gained his first judges special, this was Matthews first ever show so he was really pleased and we thank the Judge on the day for his kind support to Matthew. We have added some new images to the gallery of our dogs doing their stuff at Tewkesbury to go and take a look. The Juniors have a packed month ahead with them taking part in some Team events so we hope to have some news to report shortly on how they get on. In other news the Juniors training classes have finished for the summer and will restart in September with two new members due to join the Juniors training group taking our numbers to 10. Also our new show schedule is available for downloading, show to take place on 21st November 2010. If you as a member of Corton have any news you would like to share please pass this to me for inclusion onto the site. Until next month. CATS.

At the same show we also saw Josh Belcher run Kes in the Novice Steeplechase gaining a 4th place, this wasy Josh's first ever placing and was only his second ever show, so well done Josh and Kes. Also at the same show Becki ran her son's dog Rudi gaining a 1st place in beginners Snooker and a 2nd place in beginners steeplechase. Not bad for their first ever competition running individually. Again at the HJ show we saw our very own Jillian Sawyer and her dog Dottie win 1st place in the CSJ Senior Agility, also gaining overall 1st place and goes through to the finals later this year.

On show news, we must say a big well done to our juniors who competed in their first competition at Wye Valley Show in the small/medium teams on the 10th April. Although it did not all go quite according to plan, they put on a brave show which earned them judges specials from Barrie James. Well done to Rosie and Honey, Josh and Kes, Millie and Dinkie, and stand in ‘junior' handler Becki and Rudi who managed a clear round. Our ‘older' handler team managed 6th place with their dogs out of 47 teams so well done, Alan and Tickle (reserve dog and handler, get well soon Joyce and Star) Jillian and Dottie, Pat and Taff, Evelyne and Kaastar.
