The Kennel Club asks all breed clubs to help and support Open shows and this is one that our club sponsors. It's a Premier Open and, whilst the classes are mixed (i.e. dogs and bitches in together), it's still an enjoyable day out. The winners in the Podengos were:

Best of Breed & Open winner: Perola Van De Hienderheuvel at Stormwitch (Diana Curtis)

Limit: Pastel de Bacalhua de Viamonte at Zenabraao (Ann Foscoe)

Best Puppy: Stormwitch Givenchy (Diana Curtis)

Well done again to Anna and Simon Sampson with Ore taking the honours this time:

BEST OF BREED: SAMPSON, Mr S & SAMPSON, Mrs A & BROOKS, Mrs M Morialta Ferreira

Best Dog: SAMPSON, Mr S & SAMPSON, Mrs A & BROOKS, Mrs M Morialta Ferreira

Best Bitch: SAMPSON, Mr S & SAMPSON, Mrs A Odisseia de Viamonte at Morialta (Imp) Port
Res Best Bitch: SAMPSON, Mr S & SAMPSON, Mrs A Morialta Sesmarias

Anna and Simon Sampson continued to take all the rosettes and it was Odee who again took the main honours:

BEST OF BREED: SAMPSON, Mr S & SAMPSON, Mrs A:  Odisseia de Viamonte at Morialta (Imp) Port

Best Dog: SAMPSON, Mr S & SAMPSON, Mrs A & BROOKS, Mrs M: Morialta Ferreira
Res Best Dog: WATTS, Miss N M: Houla's American Boy

Best Bitch: SAMPSON, Mr S & SAMPSON, Mrs A: Odisseia de Viamonte at Morialta (Imp) Port
Res Best Bitch: SAMPSON, Mr S & SAMPSON, Mrs A: Morialta Silves

Best Veteran: SAMPSON, Mr S & SAMPSON, Mrs A: Odisseia de Viamonte at Morialta (Imp) Port

In what the judge, Ben Reynolds-Frost, believes is a first for him, it was the veterans who scooped the honours. Mac won Veteran Dog and Best Dog with Odee doing the same in the bitches. When they went head-to-head for Best of Breed, it was Odee who took the honours. Well done, young lady! Full results and more pictures on the Club Facebook page (click on the photo).

The entries have been submitted - all 268 of them! - and the judges are working their way through them. We're now pleased to announce the results. Click on the link opposite to go to the Facebook page we created for the show and you can see all the pictures of the entries. You can also visit the 'Club Show' page to see a gallery of the winners.

Many, many thanks to everyone who entered and to all the helpers and, of course, the judges for making this such a successful and fun event.

Due to the ongoing issues around how and when the country will come out of lockdown, we have decided to cancel the 2021 Club Show. 

It is highly unlikely that we would be able to run the show without major restrictions, if at all, by April. Trying to re-arrange it for later in the year is still subject to many uncertainties so we have decided to cancel the event all together and focus on arranging the next show in April 2022.

It is very unfortunate that we, as well as many other dog clubs, have had to take this decision. However, the health and safety of all attendees is our upmost priority and in the context of the coronavirus pandemic, our show is insignificant compared to the loss and damage the pandemic has caused.

In the meantime, the Officers and Committee of the PPCGB would like to wish everyone the very best and hope that you and your families remain safe. And please remember: hands - face - space.
