Celebrating an unbroken run of “ top four” awards, from Best of Breed at Crufts onwards. Eleven challenge certificates won by four different hounds.

Group placements for Champions Mahgaux and Mahcushla ( Hound and veteran groups) and Marionette ( Special beginners, with Karen Horn).

Encouraging, as always, new owners to try the dog show “ thing”, with picnics and get togethers at nearby shows.

Bringing the fifth generation of Mochrashounds into the world, POAG TESTED BACK TO MY FOUNDATION HOUNDS ( born 2005). Every hound is “ hereditary clear” as we go forward with breeding plans.

The mochrashounds family has been extraordinarily successful through the Summer shows. Ch’s Mahcushla and daughter Ch Mahgaux, Cushla’s son Mahlord Rupert, Marionette…. Countless firsts, “best of” awards, group placements. Marcellus ( ) won his first CC.

Several “ clean sweeps” too. At South Eastern Hound Margaux was third in Best in Show. Rupert was best puppy in show. Cushla was best veteran in show.

Our summer litter ( Marcellus to Mahjesty) has depth of quality and I hope several will be shown. Let’s see- at eleven weeks they have a long way to go. Photos from eight weeks.

Antonia with ch Mochras Mahgaux, who we co own. Emulating the success of her mother ch Mahcushla two years ago ( and for those with long memories, her paternal grandfather twelve years ago).

A big thank you to owners of Mochrashounds who made the effort to be there. You all had your hounds in great condition, their fitness was a credit to you.
