TWO SHOWS – ONE VENUE – SAME DAY

Having been awarded licences by the Kennel Club to hold two Champ shows a year, we decided to hold each Champ show alongside our Open Shows – therefore this Open Show will also have our Spring Championship Show running alongside, and we hope you take advantage of this opportunity and enter your dogs in both shows

The timing of each show will be organised to ensure that each entrant has the opportunity to enter their category in both the Championship and Open shows.

YOUR JUDGES

Ms Bekki Williams (Trebettyn)

I have been involved in dogs my whole life, at the age of six, showing Golden Retrievers at Crufts. As my sister and I showed more of an interest in showing and wanting to take part in junior handling with the ‘smaller’ breeds, later being introduced to Welsh Springer Spaniels, Hungarian Puli’s, German Spitz and both breeds of Corgi.

I have won numerous accolades in the handling ring along with CC’s & RCC’s in the WSS, Spitz & Puli rings.

During the summers of 2006/07 I spent three months showing dogs all over America & Canada and was lucky enough to help make up Champions & show dogs in various Groups. At WELKS this year I awarded Challenge Certificates in Golden Retrievers for the first time and am extremely proud to say I am third generation of our family to do so.

Thank you to the WSSCSW for the invitation to judge at their Open Show, it’s an appointment I have looked forward to for a long time.

BEKKI WILLIAMS


Special Awards Judge - Mr M Rees (Tyndale) 

I began showing dogs in the early 1990s. Originally with Rottweilers, two of whom attained their Stud Book Numbers. In 1994 my parents purchased a Flatcoated Retriever whom I showed for them. He became a full champion with 3 CCs and 6 RCCs. My two subsequent Flatcoats also attained their Stud Book Numbers – the latter one with 3 RCCs. I also co-own a GSD who won 1 CC and 3 RCCs.

I do not show dogs now, however I do own working bred Golden Retrievers – a dog and bitch, litter brother and litter sister together with another older bitch - with whom I hope to compete in Field Trials. I am a firm believer in “form follows function” when I judge.

I commenced my judging career in the late 1990s and am now passed to award CCs in 17 breeds and the Gundog Group. I judge all other Gundog Breeds at Open Show level and have passed many A3 Assessments. I consider every appointment a great honour and privilege and I enjoy the opportunity of assessing dogs.

In addition to the breeds that I am passed to award CCs in I am on either an A3, B or C list for the majority of all other Gundog Breeds.

I also enjoy attending breed seminars thus furthering my education.

I am particularly interested in the minor Gundog breeds and attend as many of their club events as I can.

M. REES
