We are campaigning a particularly active Sh Ch Belcrum Another Angus at present, along with two of his sons, Burnchild John Barleycorn of Belcrum and Belcrum Glens of Angus. Our two younger girls will soon be back in the ring, but our Champion, Clumbalier Nut Brown Maiden at Tavirosh is enjoying herself at home with just the occasional foray in the Field.

"Cindy" was a daughter of the famous Int, Am, Can & Sh Ch Pipershill King Arthur at Sundust and she became the first American Cocker to qualify in the Field for 20 years. Our next success was "Dandy", Boduf Fire Devil for Belcrum who not only qualified well, but won many Gundog Tests culminating in winning the ADVANCED Test and Award of Best Performance of the Day at MESS Field Day in 1997. He also won two Certificates of Merit in actual Field Trials. Surpassing even this was our "Poppy" who gained Field Trial placings, Certificates of Merit and was five times winner of The Advanced Test and took the top performance award on three of these occasions.
