On 30 October, the NECGB Open Show was held on the same site as Midland Counties. The Championship Show classes for elkhounds started at 9 am. Judge Serena Parker awarded 1st in half of the classes to Grasilva-bred dogs. Mason (Grasilva Eric's Gift) and litter-mate Tia (Grasilva Silver Vine) both won their classes. But the kennel's stars on this occasion were the mother and son duo, Siri (Am Ch Kamgaard Kiamesha) and Flint (Grasilva Little Rock Avec Gilkaro), who took both RCCs - in Siri's case, for the second year running - and Mya (Grasilva Cruggleton With Laakso), who was awarded Best Puppy.
In the afternoon, Debs Moughton officiated at the Club Open Show. The littermates Flint and Tia both won classes again. But, this time, Tia went one better and scooped up the award of Reserve Best Bitch. Watch out, Flint, she's going to catch you!
Mya (pictured above with owner Tanja Mortimer and the lovely rosette made by Moocraft) was awarded Best Puppy in Show. This is surely the start of an exciting show career for this lovely young lady.
