"Jappa" has delighted us with the reception he has received both in and out of the ring. From slow maturing lines we feel "Jappa" has his best to come and look forward to campaigning him in 1997. His achievements in 1996 include:
1st Junior Working Breeds Association of Wales
1st Junior Birmingham National
1st Junior Scottish Kennel Club
1st Post Graduate Bath Ch Show
1st Post Graduate Northern Belgian Shepherd Dog Club
1st Special Yearling BSDA of GB
1st Post Graduate Darlington Ch Show
We are especially pleased that our "J" litter has been so successful in the ring with Thea Jellicoe's Foryd Joyau Noir de la Nuit winning at Ch Show level despite being "naked" for most of the year and Kris and Judy's Foryd Jai winning her second CC continuing the strength of our bitch line.
