Other News:
Christmas and New Year brought a welcome break from the busy show scene, however not resting on our laurels we were kept "occupied"(!) with the puppies and also a large event we worked on at Stoneleigh for Ashborne & District CS.
We're looking forward to 2012, especially as we have a couple of promising new kids on the block who will make their debut in April. One of them is RED - we've not had reds in the kennels for 20 years or so!
Look out for:
Daervlish All Because of You (br/w dog)
&
Daervlish Miss Sarajevo (r/w bitch)
[pics to follow soon]
Both are out of our own Stellvana You Wear it Well for Manic, and sired by Walkon Okey Dokey with Lanfrese.
October
Only a few shows attended, but Beautiful Day continues to keep the side up with placings in his Limit Classes, including 3rd Limit Dog in a class of 15 under All Rounder, Ann Arch, at Midland Counties Championship Show.
September
Another good show weekend in Irleland is under the belt of Beautiful Day who at the Irish Boxer Club Ch Show (Judge Mark Johnston, Blueprint Australia) was 2nd in a cracking Post Grad class.
He went one better the following day at Belfast Ch Show under judge Julie Cook (Manic). Ryley won a superb Post Grad class to follow on from his Limit Dog class win at the British.
***
The annual pilgrammage across the waters to Ireland is fast approaching, and so our next shows will be the Irish Boxer, followed by Belfast general Champ Show. There are bound to be lots of "wine flows" over the two days if previous years are anything to go by, and we'll hopefully update again at the end of the month.
Ashley will be at the helm at home and at Stoneleigh catering for more during the Irish trip, with repeat breed club clients asking us to work with them at their shows .... A huge thank you to them and all our clients so far this year, for their support and very positive feedback....
July/August
The Summer Championship Shows are flowing thick and fast and generally, it's been a busy busy time at Daervlish - both with work at Stoneleigh (AJ Catering) but also on the show and home front.... We did, hoewver, manage to squeeze a Greek holiday, followed by more work and little play(!) and missing Richmond Champ Show's closing date somewhere in between - doh! ....
Beautiful Day in the meantime hasn't let us down, securing places in all his Limit Dog classes, but culminating most recently in winning his class under Mandy Vearnecome (Ruption) at the Midland Boxer, and going Reserve Best Dog (thank you Mandy), but also the highlight winning a cracking Limit Dog class at the Briitsh Boxer Champ Show and being in the last 4 for the CC. A huge thank you to Judge on the day Suzanne Carter (Susancar).
June
June is here and just for a moment we also thought Summer had arrived, however the weather's had other ideas!!!
Our next show was was Southern Counties with Beautiful Day notching another cracking place in Limit Dog under Kirsi Lammanen from Finland.
We also have a new kid on the block with the arrival of Stellvana You Wear it Well for Manic ("Issy"). We also hope to have a litter from Far Away So Close (litter sister to Beautiful Day) later this year ... enquiries welcome ....
April/May
Quieter months at Daervlish with a handful of show attended.
However, the side was not let down with Beautiful Day taking a smashing 2nd in Limit Dog under breed Judge Eric Hancock (Kathphiler). Show was Working & Pastoral Breeds of Wales.
A judging appointment at Birmingham National Ch Show followed in May for Debbi, and a couple of weeks' break from the shows to work on the family business followed.....
March
The annual Boxer Dog of the Year Event has just been and gone - it was a great event, as usual, and celebrated the best of the best from the last show year.
Next event on the calendar is of course Crufts - Friday 11 March.
February
Spring is almost here and as we write, our Daervlish boxers are enjoying some sunshine on their backs, and our flock of chickens are lapping up the rays by laying their wings flat out to make the most of the warmth!
January
Happy New Year, eveyone ... All the very best to you all.
With a heavy heart, we said goodbye to Daervlish Don't Talk Boogie (Smartie) on New Years Eve. To say we are heartbroken is an understatement .... She was 8 and a tad. Her mum Ronnee (almost 12) seems lost without her, bless her ... Smartie's left a huge gap here at Daervlish but we look to the future, and a good year for the kennel with Beautiful Day for Daervlish JW chomping at the bit to get "back out" in the ring for a fresh year of shows and venues ... Look out for him!
Losing Smartie has been so hard, but helping to keep up our chipper are some interesting new babies waiting in the pipeline ... watch this space for details.
December

STOP PRESS: Daervlish Sweetest Thing is confirmed in whelp, with puppies due mid October - genuine enquiries welcome (see stud/puppy availability).
It's been hands on deck again during August with work commitments and being spoiled even with a well earned holiday(!), however, early September saw City of Birmingham Ch Show at it's now established home of Stoneleigh Park. Judge for the day was respected all round Stuart Mallard, who gave Ryley a super 1st in his Post Graduate Class.
Ryley's latest babies are also doing great and looking forward to joining their new homes - there are still dog puppies available to permanent, loving homes - all enquiries in the first instance to Peter and Marie Ruffle (see "stud/pupy availability" page for details).
We are also gearing up for the annual trip across the sea to Ireland and the infamous "Irish Weekend"!!! Team Daervlish will be represented by Beautiful Day, travelling alongside fellow Kennel Manic boxerites!
July
It's been a hectic one with work at the KC Building and AJ Catering providing services to a couple of breed clubs.
The show scene has also been busy, with shows pretty much each weekend. Ryley is still in cards and maturing nicely, as are his two young sons residing at Clarkenwells.....!
May/June
.. We are just a little proud to announce that CLARKENWELLS VOGUE TRADER is now a UK Champion. By Ch CLarkenwells Rogue Trader x Daervlish Wild Honey at Clarkenwells, "Dottie" achieved her 3rd and qualifying CC under breed specialist Paul Russell (Rustar). Thank you to all judges who have thought so highly of her - we are proud to have played a part, having bred mum "Honey" x Jolegi Canned Heat for Daevlish ......
Not to be outdone by his half sister above (Dottie), Ryley notched another excellent 2nd in his post grad class under the same judge, with baby sister to Dottie ("Molly") taking a good third in her Junior Class (Clarkenwells Trade Secret at Uftonponds) - handled by Debbi on the day. Ryley's son "Ritchie" (Clarkenwells Bit of a Rogue) also kept the show side up for the boys with a lovely 2nd place in his class and his very first show ....!
***
"Nickleback Angel of Harlem" - will hopefully make her debut soon (Ch Koppernox Mickey Finn x Daervlish Sweetest Thing).... Thank you mum, aka Sarah Blakemore & Family!
May saw a brief break from the show scene for the kennels which was a welcome time away given unexpected personal circumstances for the family. However, time ticked on and before we knew it, it was June! Ryley notched another good 3rd in one of his post grad classes (Birmingham National, Fearn Pynegar), and his "sister on paper" Clarkenwells Trade Secret continues her good run in her puppy classes.
Ryley's first babies are not babies any more, indeed one of them makes a debut very shortly - watch out for him: Clarkenwells Bit of a Rogue ("Ritchie")
April
April's been a good one so far for Ryley with 2nd at the Mancunian Boxer Ch show in Post Grad (Judge Jeff Luscott), and 2nd Post Grad at the Northern Ch Show (Judge Michael Quinney). Ryley also notched up another 2nd place under Walker Miller (Walkon) at W&PBAW !!
Congratulations also to Clarkenwells Vogue Trader on her 2nd CC at W&PBAW - Judge Walker Miller. Well done also to Clarkenwells Trade Secret at Uftonponds (a repeat of Vogue Trader and who's mum, and indeed Vogue Trader's mum are litter sisters to Ryley's mum), who took an excellent 2nd in her puppy class under Judge Walker Miller, and also 3rd place the following day under Marion Cowan at the Merseyside. The weekend ended with a 5th for Ryley at the Merseyside from his post grad class (Judge Ann Wildman - Wildax). A weary driver is glad to now put their feet up given the driving done this weekend!!
March
Ryley's had a great start to the month with an excellent 2nd place in his Post Grad class at the Midland Boxer Ch Show (Judge breed specialist Orietta Zilli from Italy) and a class win in Post Grad at the Scottish Boxer Ch Show (Judge, breed specialist David Webb, Cherryside). At that same show, Daervlish were delighted to see Clarkenwells Vogue Trader (Ch Clarkenwells Rogue Trader x Daervlish Wild Honey at Clarkenwells) take her first CC following a string of RCC's to date. She also went BIS, and so the journey from snowy Lanark back home to the Midlands seemed to fly, as we were certainly flying high!!! "Dottie" is bred on paper exactly the same way as Beautiful Day, ie their mums are litter sisters .... !
Recent puppies by Ryley are also looking very promising. He is confidently offered at stud to approved bitches and sires very much like himself: huge round bound, blocky heads and muzzles, lovely eye shape......
We also have certain projects at home now for the rest of the month of March and so hope to update again early April.
January/February
Saturday 13 Feb was the date of the Midland Boxer Club Ch Show, where Orietta Zilla officiated (Italy). She awarded Ryley 2nd in his Post Grad class .......

However, at the Merseyside Boxer Club a week later, we were delighted with a class win from Post Graduate, and Reserve Best Dog. Far Away So Close also kept the side up with a lovely 2nd (to the Res. Best Bitch) in her Post Grad class at the same show (Judge Mr T Johnston).
Happy New Year

After a couple of good 3rd's towards the end of October, Ryley started November in style, by winning Best Dog and Best in Show at the Northern Boxer Club Limited Show where breed Judge for the day was Mrs Christine Breakspear (Porth). A big thank you to the Judge from us all. Ry's first puppies are also due December.

Our annual trip to Ireland meant lots of great company with friends and fellow boxerites, staying at the Highways Hotel, Larne. Thank you to the staff for making us feel welcome - as usual!!! Whilst we didn't collect up the wins as we usually do(!), it was a fab weekend.

August

IT was another of the "long show journies" that sit on the show calender (Edinburgh Showground, Ingliston - next to Edinburgh Airport), but it was well worth the trip!!!
Ryley also received confirmation of his Junior Warrant this month - well done lad!! And a huge thank you must also follow on from that to his breeder Ste Bibb for letting me steal him!!!
Well, Builth Wells Showground was the far-flung venue for the latest show - The Welsh Kennel Club Champ Show on 22 August - and whilst not a far away show as the crow flies, the journey there seems to take forever with too many a twist and turn for anyone with a quesy tummy!!!
The journey wasn't in vain, however, with Ryley clocking another 1st in Yearling Dog - our thanks go to Judge Lorraine Webb (Mauraine) for spotting him ......
August 20 saw "mum" and "dad" at Daervlish go and see mum's idols at Don Valley, Sheffield - what a night and a concert of a lifetime, as always .... You rock guys - thanks for changing my life with your music since I was 12!!!!

At the British Boxer Club, Ryley was 2nd in Yearling Dog (Judge Helen Banks) and 5th at Paignton the following day .... Next outing will be Bournemouth under breed judge Barbara Morrison.
May/June/July News .....
Beautiful Day has been heart tested clear ("0") score and we hope to prove him shortly, after which he will be offered at stud.
The summer shows are now well under way and it's been a good few months for the Daervlish Team.
Beautiful Day has notched up some lovely class wins in Yearling Dog ....
He won his classes at Three Counties (Judge Maurice Webb); Blackpool (Judge Isolbel Edison); Windsor (Judge Linda Carnaby).
Close on his heels has been his lightly shown sister who, on her sparse outings has not been out of the cards, including 2nd in Junior Bitch at Working Breeds of Wales (Terry Donovan).
Puppies?!
We will hopefully have puppies in the Autumn, mating Vertigo (Beryl) late Summer. Genuine advance enquiries welcome.
