FOR THE first time ever in the United Kingdom, the CCs at the recent Midland OES Club championship show were both won by Italian-imported Old English Sheepdogs.

From the biggest breed entry of the year excluding Crufts - 99 exhibits - the brother and sister from a repeat mating were: BCC & BIS Hall & Ceccinato’s Lulubirbantella di Zuccherino via Shenedene, DCC Hall’s Oblo di Zuccherino via Shenedene, under judges Barrie M Croft (bitches) and Angie Allen (dogs).
