Triumph for North.
At the grand old age of two and 1/2 years (to the very day!) young Belatarr North By Northwest scored a fabulous win today at the National Gundog Championship where breed specialist judge Mike Lewin awarded him 1st Limit Dog and then the Best Dog Challenge Certificate, North’s first CC.
….and, not to be outdone, North’s big sister Billie – Sh CH Belatarr Mahalia Jackson ShCM – also picked up the Reserve Bitch CC (her 5th, to go with her 6 CC’s).
All in all a sensational and hugely memorable day for Belatarr and massive congratulations to Irene, North & Billie!
Billie’s Windsor win.
I was thrilled to witness Sh CH Belatarr Mahalia Jackson Sh CM win her 6th CC, and her second of 2017, at the Windsor Championship under Judge Chris Bexon this last week. This win means that Billie also becomes only the second ever HWV bitch to win more than 5 Challenge Certificates – a sensational achievement!
Belatarr at the Annual Awards round-up.
A belated, post-puppy post to celebrate what were, once again, some great Belatarr achievements at the two breed club annual awards.
The Hungarian Wirehaired Vizsla Association awards tabulate Championship Show results, whereas the Hungarian Wirehaired Vizsla Club of Great Britain include both Championship and Open show results in their calculations.
This year’s HWVA Top Dog was Sh CH Belatarr Hercules who overtook the breed CC record holder to score this fantastic win and who receives the Arany Bowl as a result, whilst his brother, Belatarr Charlie Parker ShCM, was ranked the third placed dog of the year – a super double for the boys – and his older sister, Sh CH Belatarr Mahalia Jackson ShCM (Billie), was awarded second placed Bitch of the year for the second year running, having won it outright the previous year.
Meanwhile, over at the HWVCGB awards, the Belatarr boys occupied all of the top three spots for the year with THE HAUNSPERG TROPHY, awarded to the show male of the year, won by Belatarr North by Northwest, who very narrowly beat Hercules into second place with Charlie placed third – a fabulous clean sweep for the boys! Billie was named second-placed show female of the year for the second year running (having, once again, won this accolade outright the year before) and young North was also named second top show dog of the year overall.
Many congratulations to Jenny, David & Irene on their great and very well deserved wins for the 2016 season.

Puppies – week 2.
Our new arrivals are now 2 weeks old and the constant rounds of feeding and snoozing have resulted in them roughly tripling their birth weights and generally rolling around contentedly with barrel-like tummies. The pups started lifting themselves up onto their feet this week and by today are just about able to walk (and clamber!) a short distance. At the same time four pups have now opened their eyes – Mis Fawn started the trend 2 days ago, Miss Yellow and Mr Blue joined her yesterday and Miss Orange has just taken her first glimpse of the world today.

RANDOM SHOTS OF CUTENESS
Belatarr Boys score at the HWVA Championship.
In the midst of all the new puppy shenanigans this last Sunday was the annual Hungarian Wirehaired Vizsla Association Championship, always the largest gathering of the breed to take place anywhere in the world. Although we were unable to attend, due to the considerable demands of our twelve new arrivals, the 5 Belatarr boys who did get to the show managed to score a remarkable clean sweep of all of the top 4 dog classes, as follows:
Graduate Dog: 1st – Belatarr Vertigo
Post Graduate Dog: 1st Belatarr Sculptor
Limit Dog: 1st Belatarr Charlie Parker ShCM & 2nd Belatarr North By NorthWest
Open Dog + Reserve Best Dog: 1st Sh CH Belatarr Hercules
“1st Spillane’s Sh Ch Belatarr Hercules. Quality dog of lovely type with well made & balanced construction. Interesting to see he has the same mother as my Grad, Post Grad & 1 & 2 in Limit. All with similar qualities & type the sign of an excellent brood bitch. This dog presented a good flowing outline of maturity & was presented in 1 class coat & condition. When moved he covered the ground with ease. RCC.“

Many congratulations to everyone and we’re looking forward to seeing you all soon!
