Brookshire Mary Mary enjoys double wins at The SBTC of Northern NSW Inc Championship Shows |
|
|
12/9/2009 - To her
credit Kelsey performs beautifully in a large class of
older competitors and is awarded Minor Puppy In Show and
Puppy of the Day under Staffordshire Bull Terrier Breed
Specialist Mr Frans Coetzer from the renowned Zeracious
Kennels (South Africa). |
|
13/9/2009 – Another
successful day ensues with Kelsy stamping her winning
ways once again over a large contingent of older
contenders. Ms Nancie Booth (Ramblestaff UK) awards her
Best Opposite Minor Puppy In Show in New South Wales’
biggest Staffordshire Bull Terrier Championship Show
entry for 2009. |
|
. |
|
These fantastic wins, coupled with an earlier win under
Breed Specialist Mrs Juanita Crawford (Crossbow RSA),
have given Kelsy an enviable hat trick of wins under
three different Stafford Specialists – a fantastic
achievement we are more than delighted with. Well done
to Joan and Kelsy on their fantastic labours. |

Apologies to many for the delay in updating the site. As you'll see from the news et al we have been a tad
busy with our commitment to our recent litter (Sire Mosstrooper Man At Arms X Dam Pepstaff Give It To Me) as
well as upholding some personal obligations.
We would like to thank everyone
for their interest in our puppies.
Many thanks to all the wonderful
families that have given the baby Brookshires their
fantastic forever homes. |
|
On
the show-scene side of things we can boast of some great
mid year accomplishments. |
|
Brookshire Mary Mary
(Mosstrooper
Man At Arms X Pepstaff Give It To Me) has had some
convincing results whilst settling into the Victorian
Show scene. At her debut Show Kelsy scores Best Baby
Puppy Bitch against older competition under judge Mr K
Lee (Vic) at the Caulfield and District Kennel Club Inc
Championship Show. The following week Kelsy is awarded
Baby Puppy of Breed and then attains Baby
Puppy in Group under respected breed specialist
Mrs Juanita Crawford (Crossbow Staffordshire Bull
Terriers - RSA) at the Box Hill And District Kennel
Club Inc Championship Show. Well done Joan and Kelsy. |
|
"A super brindle baby showing lots of potential and an
easy class winner for me. Lovely head shape, dark round
eyes, small and thin rose ears, good depth of stop,
strong underjaw and lots of expression. Excellent
forequarter angulation, level topline, nice short
coupling and a well made hindquarter. She moved well and
coped with the show ring admirably for one so young. Her
make and shape reminded me strongly of my own SA Ch
Crossbow Fire And Ice at the same age. A pleasure to
judge her and award her Baby In Group". |

Not
to be outdone, Brookshire
Portia (Crossguns Labour Of Love (Imp UK) X
Brookshire The Matron) claims Intermediate In Group at
The CNCC Committee Inc AB Championship Show under Miss C
Ryan (Qld) on the 6th June 2009. |
|
Unfortunately our show plans have been curtailed
(albeit) briefly due to a slight injury to Brookshire
India Arie (Mosstrooper Man At Arms X Pepstaff Give It
To Me). However we will be back on the show scene
as soon as Brummie recuperates. |

We
are delighted to announce the arrival of 7 healthy
puppies and only our fourth Staffordshire Bull Terrier
litter. The sire was the handsome Mosstrooper Man At
Arms X Dam
Pepstaff Give It To Me.
Many thanks to Bryce and Jo as well as Glenn and Sandi
Consadine (Mosstrooper). The below picture was taken
when the cherubs were under two weeks old. We look
forward to their progress and development in the coming
years. |

Happy 2009. What better way is their to bring in the
new year than with a slight website facelift? Well not
so much a facelift - more like a little jab of Botox!
Regardless...enjoy the small tweaks. |

No website could ever be popular without people
who visit and comment on it every day, just as
no book would be a bestseller if people didn't
buy it. So it is with great gratitude that we
say to all of you that this website probably
wouldn't exist without your support. A few hours
ago we received our 63,000th hit (on our home
page alone - this does not include the 10 000+
hits on our
Breed Info Page
since being launched in early 2008)
an appropriate
milestone on the last day of the year. Our very
humble thanks to all of you for your support,
comments and goodwill.

Hydrobath Hijinx @ Brookshire (or some
interesting facts about Ye Olde Hydrobath) |
|
|
|
The sprayhead of the hydrobath not only cleans your
pooch, it stimulates their largest body organ by
offering a therapeutic water massage. In turn this
not only helps circulation, it also relieves tired
muscles and has found to positively ease the pain
associated with arthritis in older dogs. Not
only does the water wash the physical coat of the
dog it also penetrates to the skin removing hair, dead
skin cells, flea eggs and other materials that can
be “hidden” and hard to remove. Also certain
treatment solutions (for skin conditions) can be
added to the water during the hydrobath for optimum
effect and maximum dispersion. |
