| Look Back at 2009 |

2009 has been a fantastic year for the Show Team both on a local level and on the World stage!

To have the Top winner anywhere is an achievement in itself but we are overjoyed to to know
that Lafford dogs are topping the tree's in Australia, Ireland and the UK.

Listed below are just some of the most significant achievements and
we thank our amazing friends around the world for their support!

Top Maltese;  No. 2 all breeds in NSW; No. 4 all breeds in Australia.

Champion Lafford Marc My Words from Zumarnik JW

Top Maltese Bitch in the UK

‘Dollar’ gained her crown at Crufts and went on to a total of 6 CC’s and 3 BOB in the UK. Along with litter brother 'Larry' this pair have literally made their 'Marc' on the show scene!

 

Irish Champion Lafford Trade Marc (Jnr Ch) Sh CM W08 CW09

‘Larry’ gained his Irish crown on the Munster circuit in 2009 with some BIS all breeds thrown in for good measure. Res CC at Crufts and Best of Breed at the Celtic Winners Show on St Patricks Day in Dublin added to this memorable year!

Swedish, Finnish Champion Havin A Paddy at Lafford

‘Paddy’ was BOB at the Swedish Hund 2009 show in December giving him a Crufts qualifier. A trip to Finland earlier in the year gave him his Finnish crown.

Irish Champion Lafford Pansy Potter (Jun Ch) CJW08

‘Pansy’ had a great year in 2009 ending the year with a total of 16 Green Stars handled by co-owners Michael and Orla King.

Irish Int Champion Zumarnik Princess Tiara at Lafford of Dolcissimo EW09

'Tiara' had a great win at the European Winners Show in Dublin with the CACIB to give her the International title along with the European Winners title. A total of 8 CACIB's and 32 Green Stars make 'Tiara' another top winner for Michael and Orla King.

Maltangel Morning Prayerfulness (Jnr Ch)

'Caleb' was bred in sunny California and possesses a sunny, happy disposition to match. He was successfully campaigned to his Junior title in Ireland by Michael King.

Papillon

Champion Lafford Fly Me Too Farleysbane JW

An unbelievable success with our first litter of Papillons 'Dave' has made a bit of an impact having been virtually unbeaten as a male since the start of his show career in July 2008. He became a Champion at the age of 22 months and in 2009 has been rewarded with 4 CC’s, 3 BOB and the Toy Group at Border Union.

Champion, Irish, Norwegian Ch Bodebi Ray Of Success at Lafford CW08

'Austin' decided on an 18-30 vacation early in 2009 and certainly made his presence felt with some of those ladies he met in Norway. He also found time to attend some shows and collected his Norwegian title along the way!

Löwchen

NL Champion Glamagail Monty Konyno’s

'Gail' has been doing a tour of the Low Countries in Europe with Jetty + Cees and was rewarded with the Dutch title at The 2009 Winners Show in Amsterdam. A trip to Belgium earlier in the year saw her awarded Best in Show and now she needs just a few points to complete the title in that country.

Looking forward to continuing successes in 2010
