Brylach Over the Broomstick with Cusidh

Friday, 04 May 2012 17:59

We're very pleased to introduce a new Clan Cusidh member - Brylach Over the Broomstick with Cusidh (or Styx for her pet name). She was bred by Charlie and Moira Spence up in Keith in Banffshire from Loch Maree by Brylach back In December 2011. Our own Cusidh Righ Innse Gall was the sire. She's a lovely character and is settling in well. We've attempted a few photos (see below) but that's an area for improvement lets say so please check back for progress updates.

Wow! Banrigh (Ch Drawing Down the Moon to Cusidh) has won the Bitch Championship Certificate (CC) for the third year in a row at Crufts. This brings her Crufts results to:

Best of Breed in 2010 and 2011; and

Reserve Best of Breed in 2012 (Best of Breed Cscarf O'Cockaigne - congratulations).

Banrigh won her third Crufts CC from the Veteran class at the age of seven under Mrs Anne MacDonald. Previous judges have been Mrs Zola Rawson (2011) and Mr Dave Murray (2010) - a big thank you to all.

Here she is in the ring and later in the "wilds" of a NEC car park.
