2000:

For the millennium celebrations, the judges for the three year 2000 shows were ‘especially imported’ so that no-one was denied the opportunity to show, due to their hound being bred by the judge.

Open Show Spring 2000

The Spring Open show was judged by Emerson Howard (Howies Hounds, Netherlands) on Saturday 19th February.  There were forty entries, and Emerson's report was presented in the Gazette, sent to members in at the end of March, and is now available online here.

The notable difference in style, for us Brits, was that at the end of each class, Emerson explained to the competitors his reasons for the placings he had decided.  He also started the day, by having the hounds moved clockwise round the ring.  However, by the fourth class, he had conceded to British habit of parading anti-clockwise.  Is this anything to do with us driving on the left, unlike or continental cousins ?

Championship Show 2000

This was judged by Mrs. Jackie Sinkinson (The Rectory, USA) held on the 3rd June.

This was part of the Millennium celebration weekend,
at The Milton Lodge Hotel, Gillingham, Dorset.

Open Show Autumn 2000

on Sunday 12th November at Baginton Judged by Mrs. Bri Cappello (Nineveh, Austria)
After the wettest Autumn for decades, the show ring had to be staged on the car park, rather than the usual lawn in front of the village hall. However, despite a temperature comparable with Austria, the sky remained blue, and Bri was able to complete the judging outdoors.
Both best dog and best bitch came from the Postgraduate classes Her Best in Show was Miller's Railside Honey
	Reserve Best in Show was Powell's Weatheroak Joker Boy at Trailfinder
Best Puppy was Miller & Avery's     Brighton's Tennyson of Millvery:
The Judge's Report was included in the Newsletter, sent to members before Christmas.
