She was purchased as a pet from a Mrs Sharman, who I found out much later as a sister of Mrs Ashcroft of the famous “Barnolby” kennels. Halsall Heatherbelle made the long journey, unaccompanied, in a hamper, by train from Lancashire to Cornwall. She was a large bitch, too big for the show ring, but her character endeared me to the breed and I was “hooked”. My family owned and showed Greyhounds. My Great Grandfather was well known in the breed, founding the “Butcher” Greyhounds. The Kennel Club stopped shows in 1917 and banned breeding. My Great Grandfather managed to keep his bloodlines and bred one of the most successful Greyhounds shown after WW1, Ch Fascinating Ways. I was brought up with dogs and my family have owned many breeds a Golden Retriever, a Chow Chow, an Airedale, a Welsh Terrier, a Border Terrier, a German Shepherd and a few cross breeds. I showed my Oid English Sheepdogs in the 1970s and 1980s. This was a time when it was not unusual to see more dogs in a class than are now seen at an OES Show. I had some success to RCC level with Pockethall Silver Squire & Dervance Des Diego of Lanxon and three dogs in the KC Stud Book. I bred a Champion, Ch. Lanxon Charlie Boy of Hibray, owned by Pat Bradley. My bitch had been mated to Pat’s much loved Tommy - Ch. Hibray Rock on Tommy. I was the Secretary of the Devon & Cornwall OES Club (an unregistered club). The club had over 80 members, mainly pet owners, and we held fun events for several years. I thought I would like to judge and studied a diploma course with David Cavill’s Canine Studies Institute gaining a Credit pass. I judged Old English Sheepdog at Bath Championship Show - no CCs. However, I had to take a break in showing for several years, due to work commitments, being a Court Manager in a local Court. Throughout these years I still attended Champ Shows & Crufts every year, so kept in touch with the breed. I have owned as many as seven OES, at a time, and from 1971, I have always owned two or more OESs. I feel lucky to have known some of the “Greats” in our breed. I have known their dogs and visited their kennels. Amongst these were Jimmy Rickard (a good friend), Jean Gould, Florence Tilley, Gwen Mogford, and Vic & Pat Guest: all no longer with us. I have seen some great dogs in the ring, including Ch. Pendlefold Prince Hal & Ch. Aberfells Georgie Porgey - breed record holders in their time. For several years, I have been the Secretary of the Canine Section of the Royal Cornwall Show, Cornwall’s county show. It is a large three day show attracting an entry of over 750 dogs. I'm delighted and honoured to have been invited to judge at the South Eastern OES Club and I am looking forward to my appointment. DEFINITIONS OF CLASSES (N.B.
