There has been a lot happening in the Branbern camp in July.
 Unfortunately its not all been good news, with our favourite son Mel (Aust Ch Elmiras Colorado High (imp USA) being euthanaised on the 5th, at the age of 10.5. His character was second to none, he was the babysitter of all the branbern puppies during their stay, and he brought soundness, great temperaments & much more to Branbern Kennels. 

 On a happier note, Ch Branbern Black Ice (Douglas) has followed up on his RUBIS effory in Victoria with a BEST IN GROUP win under Mrs P.H.J Young (NSW).
 
Ch Branbern Dark Windsor continues to impress, winning Runner up In Group under Mrs E. Gunter at the Bungendore Champ Show on the 12th, followed by BEST IN GROUP on the 13th under Mr B. Riddell!

And at the North of the Harbour Kennel Clubs International Weekend, Branbern Rebel Raiser won Best Puppy in Show under Mr P. Machen (Can), while Branbern Bold n Beautiful (Brigette) won BOB over her father Ch Branbern Royal Salute (who was DCC). The best was yet to come on Sunday however, where Brigette won RU/BOB & Intermediate in Group under Ms D Janssen (Columbia), finishing off a wonderful weekend for Branbern.

More news from the UK, where Wilbur (Ch Branbern Royal Garter) has been showing up a storm, firstly at the SKC Championship Show on May 17th where he won Best of Breed under Mary Fallas who thought of him: "This male dog came into the ring with style & commanded full attention. Excellent head held high on a brilliant reach of neck falling into good shoulder placement. Level topline on a good body, super stifle and strong hindquarters, had no hesitation in giving him the CC & Best of Breed. I watched the group and he was pulled out in the final six. He must have a great future ahead of him."
 And on June 10 at the Three Counties Championship Show he won Open & Reserve Dog under Gwen Mogford, making this impression: "Super Import. Big, strong boned male, grand head and expression, well marked. Handsome, lovely neck, good spring/depth of rib, strong back, level topline, good bend of stifle, strong hocks, covers the ground well. Reserve CC can only really improve with maturity"
