AUGUST: We are thrilled to announce that our Hollygrove Tell Tale at Silversun (Conchita) won Postgraduate at Bournmouth Championshipshow and went on to take the bitch Reserve CC thus achieving her Studbook Number. Silversun Solstice Eve (Bonita) again showed her true potential by winning Novice and geting a brilliant 3rd in Junior bitch. She has never been out of the cards since she started her show career. Our sincere thanks to the judge Mrs Valerie Cozens.

JULY: The Silversuns had another super day at SESS open show under judge Mary Young. We took 3 dogs, entered 5 classes and came home with 3 cups and 5 rosettes. Bonita (Silversun Solstice Eve) won Junior and Novice bitch, plus a VHC in Special Yearling under judge Rita Aldrige, Conchita (Hollygrove Tell Tale at Silversun) won Postgraduate Bitch and Carino (Rareridge Kings Cross at Silversun) had a Reserve in Open Dog.

Everyone should have a day like this occasionally!

Rareridge Kings Cross at Silversun has only been shown lightly this year due to our commitments with two litters of puppies. However, he was consistently well placed eg 2^nd in Limit at East of England and Bournemouth Championship Shows only being beaten in his class by the dogs going on to win Best of Breed. We are amazed he managed to achieve this, being a dog with "bad mouth, shoulders, back-end, skin and temperament" according to several rumours. But in the end quality will out, if only more people would judge with their EYES and not with their EARS.

2002 started well, he managed to keep body and soul in one piece long enough to get to CRUFTS. See picture on his page.

Hollygrove Tell Tale at Silversun delighted us by wining her class at Maidenhead & District and going on to get Reserve Best of Breed under judge Howard Stubbington. She also put in an appearance at CRUFTS – see photo on her page.

Ownways Touch of Charm at Silversun has been on maternity leave for most of the year 2001 and will return to the show-ring as soon as she can afford new clothes.

Silversun Godot’s Arrival made his debut at SESS Championship Show where he won Minor Puppy Dog and qualified for Crufts at his first outing. We have great hopes for this promising young man. He inherited his mother’s good looks and his father’s excellent temperament.

Silversun Solstice Eve is our first orange, and very special in a lot of ways. She has the looks of a little angel but the spirit of a little monster. However, we will accept the challenge. Watch this space to see if we survive the onslaught.

Well, we did. She had her first outing at Maidenhead where she got a lovely 3^rd place in a very strong class. Her litter brother Silversun Midsummer Knight for Monbrec was 2^nd. He also thrilled his owners, Pat + Pete Mellish, by qualifying for CRUFTS 2003 at ESA Championship Show.

We want to take this opportunity to wish good luck to the discerning owners of Silversun puppies eg Pat + Pete Mellish with Silversun Midsummer Knight for Monbrec, and Mr + Mrs Shirley with Silversun Summer Time. God help them!!!

6th May 2002 John Lynch judged English Setters at South of England Agricultural Society. What a day! Conchita Hollygrove Tell Tale At Silversun went Best of Breed, our baby Bonita Silversun Solstice Eve was Best Puppy and won Group 3.

25th May 2002 Another good day out at Bath for Bonita's first Championship Show. She delighted us by qualifying for CRUFTS 2003 with a 2^nd in a very strong puppy class.
