Kodi is awarded Joint Top HWV of 2025!
After another phenomenal year in the show ring, we are beyond thrilled to announce that, for the SECOND YEAR RUNNING!!, Show Champion Belatarr Kodiak is the joint Top HWV of the year (OurDogs).
Kodi collected an incredible 9 CC’s in 2025, more than any other HWV. This takes his lifetime total to 22, which is now the second-highest total in breed history…and he’s still only three years of age!
He also finished his year in great style, winning the Best Dog CC at LKA, the final Championship of the year, under long-time breed expert, Diane Parry.
Needless to say, we extend huge congratulations to David & Jenny for their amazing achievements with Kodi, once again, and our heartfelt thanks, also, for their dedication, work, and time spent trekking to and from Championships the length and breadth of the UK!
It was clear from the youngest age that he was a very special puppy, but the levels of success that he has gone on to attain are beyond anything I could possibly have imagined.
LKA Completes Sensational Show Year for Belatarr!
Held on Dec 16th, LKA was the final Championship show of the year and proved to be one of the most memorable that we’ve ever attended. Presided over by judge Eileen Hughes, Sh Ch Belatarr Hercules was named Best Dog and won his 2nd CC of 2018, his 5th in total, moving him into 3rd place in the list of all-time highest-awarded HWV males!
“A lovely masculine dog who moved effortlessly round the ring with reach and drive due to well-laid shoulders and good rear angulation. A harsh coat finished the picture. Correct length in body with a firm topline. Typical masculine head and tight feet. A well deserved CC.“
Eileen Hughes
A fabulous result and one with which we would have been thrilled to complete what has been an amazing show year, but the bitch classes brought another thrill as Billie, Sh Ch Belatarr Mahalia Jackson ShCM, was awarded Best Bitch, collecting an astonishing 6th CC of the year and taking her total tally of Challenge Certificates to 12, making her the all-time 2nd highest awarded HWV Bitch (by a very considerable margin.)
“A beautiful mature bitch who moves so fluidly with lots of reach and drive.Attractive feminine head, correct harsh coat, good length and depth of body, an excellent example of the breed. CC & BOB.“
Eileen Hughes
Brother and sister then went head to head for Best of Breed and Billie emerged victorious, earning the privilege of representing the breed in the Gundog Group Challenge – what a day!
Best Bitch and Best Dog, Billie and Herc, with very proud Dad Tim!
