Silverwood's Elegantly KLAD PCD, CD, RN, RA, CGN

Grace winning her class under judge Lorri Smith (Calowa Cockers) at the ACSCC National Show - Puppy Sweepstakes

Grace is my current show and obedience dog. Grace fulfills a long time dream of mine, of owning a kid from her sire, who is one of my favorite Cockers of all time. Thank you to breeders Valerie Richardson & Vicky Bennett for sharing this special girl with me!

Grace earned her CGN title on May 30, 2008 with very little training.  We are currently training for Rally Advanced  and traditional Obedience  Due to not enjoying showing any more, I don't anticipate returning to the show ring with Grace, however you never know what the future holds!

Grace's health certification can be seen here - she is OFA Good, Patellas Normal and CERF clear (08, 09).  Her DNA test through InGen came back clear of any genetic diseases.

*** FLASH! ***  The weekend of June 6th Gracie earns her Rally Novice (RN) title in three straight trials, with scores not below 90 (100 is the maximum).  She earned High Scoring Cocker in Novice A, and earned the highest qualifying score of any Cockers shown in Rally that day.  Way to go Gracie!

*** Not one to rest on her laurels, Gracie entered the ring with me in tow and earned three passing scores for her Pre-CD title (not a requirement for competition obedience, but a good stepping stone).  She finished her PCD with ease and is looking forward to competing for her CD next summer.

*** FLASH! ***  Gracie exceeds all expectations by winning back to back specialty High In Trial wins to earn her CD title, both under judge Roland Belanger.  Her other qualifying score from Novice B was under Karen Brearley.  She earned her CD in three straight trials, doing it in style.

*** FLASH! ***  Gracie and Kelly complete the requirements for the Rally Advanced (RA) title at the Battle River Canine Association shows on the second last weekend in October. As of November 1, 2010 Gracie is the #4 Rally Cocker in Canada after just two weekends of trialling!.

From left to right are Silverwood's Five Oh One (Best of Winners), Silverwood's High Maintenance (Winners Bitch) and Grace (Reserve Winners Bitch) with judge Carmen Haller. What a great weekend for Silverwood Cockers! At the same show weekend, Grace won Winners Bitch for 2 more points under judge Denise Cornelsson.



Grace wins Best of Breed for her first point under Judge Gerona McCuaig!
