World Cup Retriever International 2023

World Cup Retriever International 2023

By Alan Rees

After a 3 year break, the Skinners World Cup Retriever International team event returned to the beautiful Englefield Estate. 14 teams, from all over Europe, competed over two days, every team consisting of 4 Retrievers and their handlers. 

Alan Rees, having committed to judge this prestigious event for the second time, was therefore ‘unavailable’. 

Nigel Probert lead the team, who were as follows – Nigel Probert, Mike Jones, David Christmas Thomas and Craig Perry. It was great to see Craig return to the competition stage after a few year’s absence. 

The standard of dog work was extremely high, competing in 10 tests over the two days. This was the first time in 19 events, that 2 teams tied for First place with 685 points, resulting in an exciting run off, with the judges setting up a very long unseen retrieve.  England’s top dog, handled by team Captain, David Latham, brought his team home in 1st place. Second place went to France and 3rd place to Holland on 679 points.

Wales ended up, after a brave fight back on the second day, with 610 points and 11th place. Individual scores were Nigel and Craig on 159, Mike on 148 and David on 144.

The overall winning dog was Holland’s Cor Chrunpf’s dog, Finley, on 184 points.

Now moving on, the Wales team travel to compete at the Kennel Club’s 150 Years Celebration International. 

Once again, a huge thank you to Ceri, Phil and the team at CSJ K9, for their continued support. We would not be able to compete at this level without your generosity. 

Diolch yn fawr 

Alan Rees

PRESS RELEASE 3.5.23

Ceri Rundle, founder and owner of CSJ, who, as usual, sponsored the annual Bodfari Sheepdog Trials on Good Friday and Saturday said, “From 2 days of top-level sheepdog trialling we were delighted to have raised over £400 for such a good cause that is close to the hearts of so many people.

As usual the competition was of the highest standard with the current International Supreme Champion, Dewi Jenkins, winning Saturday’s Open Class with Reserve Champion, Aled Owen, again in second place. There were 5 former International Supreme Champions competing and over 70 dogs running each day.”

The top 6 competitors in both Open classes were presented with mugs designed and supplied by Dr Kelvin Broad – a fellow handler. The initials WA appear at the bottom of each mug’s handle to commemorate CSJ’s sadly missed social media expert Wendy Allen.

On Good Friday, the trial judge was Osian Jones when the top 3 places in the Open Class were:

Open
1. Dylan Davies with Treflys Ben

2. Kevin Evans with Kemi Jack

3. Emyr Jones with Sam


On Saturday the results of the first 3 places in each class under judge Cyril Roberts were:

Open

CSJ proudly supports Service Dogs UK

CSJ proudly supports Service Dogs UK

We were delighted to hear from Jane Hoare, trustee at Service Dogs UK, regarding the CSJ treats gifted to their most recent graduates.

“The treats have gone down incredibly well with our veterans, fosters and dogs. Here is a picture of our latest veteran/dog accredited partnerships receiving their treats after a gruelling 2 day public access test. Their eyes lit up when they were given these as a ‘well done from CSJ’. Thank you so much for your generosity, Ceri.”

SDUK provide veterans from the Armed Forces and Emergency Services suffering with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder the benefit of specially trained psychiatric assistance dogs.

Our dogs, from rescue, are carefully selected to help the Veterans. We train dogs to the highest standard, being a fully accredited member of Assistance Dogs International (ADI).

Once a rescue dog has completed their basic training and assessment, the Veteran will be training their own partnered dog for a period of 9 – 12 months under the guidance of professional dog trainers. This journey greatly benefits both the Veteran and the dog.

We welcome applications from men and women of the Armed Forces, Emergency Services, Coastguard (MCA) and RNLI.

As an organisation we actively wish to raise the awareness of the mental health danger of PTSD to our brave men and women on the front line, be it abroad or at home; in the military or emergency services.

CSJ feeds and breeds Crufts winners

CSJ’s owner and founder Ceri Rundle doesn’t just ‘feed the most Champions in the most canine activities’ … she breeds many of them too, under her Moel affix.

Crufts 2023 was no exception, with Stephen Richardson winning the hotly contested Intermediate Agility Championships with his Border Collie ‘Gamble’, or to give his full title, Agility Champion Moel Gamble Demonic Risk. Stephen is a professional dog agility trainer based in Cumbria with over 20 years’ experience in agility.

Ceri says, “We really enjoyed the TV coverage and spotting so many people who feed CSJ doing so well in a variety of activities. It was thrilling to see Toni Dawkins and her Miniature American Shepherd win the nail-biting Medium Agility Final, which gave Tiger his Champion title to become Agility Champion Bachero Cross My Heart.” Toni later posted, ‘Thanks to my bestest pals and to CSJ who have now sponsored me for the best part of 20 years.’

Ceri continued, “In the Gundog rings, amongst so many enjoying their day was Debra Harker with Hector, her beautiful Gordon Setter Ch. Hernwood Achilles at Ettrick JW, who was shortlisted in a fantastic Open class and James Reavil of Cwnsaethu Gundog Training with his lovely Vizsla dog Nadorpusztai Gore at Cwnsaethu getting
a VHC in Junior.”

Whilst Crufts was in full swing Ceri, herself a world-renowned sheepdog trainer and triallist, heard the news that another CSJ user, Kevin Evans, had won the EU Nursery Championship 2023 in Belgium on 12th March with Kemi Jack and also his Balearic Meg coming 6th .

Ceri added, “Congratulations to everyone, unfortunately just too numerous to mention!”

Toni Dawkins’ Tiger – ‘Bachero Cross My Heart’
Kevin Evans’ – ‘Kemi Jack’

CSJ has worked wonders for Debbie Mould’s gundogs

CSJ has worked wonders for Debbie Mould’s gundogs

We were delighted to hear from gundog handler, Debbie Mould, at Daisygate Gundogs.  Debbie switched her bitch, Marketgate Marble, aka Daisy, to CSJ Complete Tripe in 2019.

I spoke to Ceri at Ragley Hall Game Fair and told her how I had struggled to find a food to suit Daisy, until Andy Cullen at Laochin Gundogs recommended CSJ and we have never looked back!”

Daisy won the Kennel Club Open Working Test at Chatsworth in 2019. She went on to be selected for the England Spaniel Team in 2021, giving a great account of herself at both The Game Fair Ragley Hall and the GWCT Scottish Game Fair Scone Palace in the  International Competition. Her daughter, Mavis, won the Open Spaniel Working Test at the GWCT Scottish Country Fair in 2021, the same weekend her mum had run for England.

Daisy ran in the Open Working Spaniel Test at the GWCT Scottish Game Fair in 2022, only being beaten to second place by one point by “The Flying Scotsman,” Mr Eddie Scott.

Daisy’s daughter Mavis was selected for the England Spaniel team for 2022 as reserve dog. Mavis went on to win the Lincolnshire Novice Field Trial and then The Kennel Club Open Field Trial qualifying her for the 92nd Kennel Club Any Variety Spaniel Championship in January 2023, at Invermark Estate in Scotland. Although her championship run was cut short by a bird getting up behind, after a nice flush and retrieve over a fence in front of the Gallery.

Both Daisy and Mavis are fed on CSJ Complete Tripe. I had some lovely comments about Mavis from some very experienced handlers as both girls have great stamina and hold their condition really well. My Local supplier is Operation K9 Canine at Sherburn Malton.

British Manchester Terrier Club prepare to defend ‘Obreedience’ title at Crufts

British Manchester Terrier Club prepare to defend ‘Obreedience’ title at Crufts

By Ann Harrison

A team of 6 Manchester Terriers, 5 of whom have been fuelled by CSJ for many years, are off to Crufts in March to defend their title in the ‘Obreedience’competition. Known as ‘Manchesters Re-United’, the team have worked hard all year to qualify for the competition that sees teams of 4 pedigree dogs of the same Breed, plus two reserves, compete in Heelwork and four set exercises, including a retrieve, scent, send to bed and stop on recall. For a team of Terriers to hold their own against breeds more usually associated with obedience is no mean feat, and we will be working hard to once again be hailed ‘Britain’s Most Obedient Breed’!
