Meet "Ruby", our first home-bred orange Cocker, pictured at 11 months old. She is a daughter of our Shenmore Snowdrop & is a complete extrovert, like her Mum. We are having a lot of fun in the show ring with this eye-catching young lady!

Ruby had a lovely puppy career with many wins to her credit. At just 8 months old, Ruby won Best Puppy Bitch & Best Puppy In Show at Yorkshire Cocker Club Championship Show, following in her Mum's footsteps as Lily also won her first BPIS as a Minor Puppy! This was followed by Best Puppy Bitch & BPIS at North Wales Cocker Club Ch Show, BPB & BPIS at Devon & Cornwall Cocker Club Ch Show & BPIB at LKA Ch Show.

These wins made Ruby ***COCKER PUPPY OF THE YEAR 2002*** under the Cocker Club points competition & Top Cocker Puppy 2002 (Our Dogs/Pedigree competition). We are very proud of our lovely girl, whose good looks are matched by her happy, outgoing personality - a true Cocker! On her first birthday, she won the final point needed for her Junior Warrant and just a week later, she won her first breed club BIS (at West of England's Open Show) Not a bad start to her adult show career!

Ruby took a short break from the show ring during the summer months of 2003 to grow a new coat but came back to win her first CC at Driffield Ch Show under breed specialist, Mrs L Palmer, followed by the RCC at Midland Counties. At Crufts, her first show in 2004, she won the Mid Limit Bitch class followed by her 2nd CC at Midland Cocker Ch Show under breed specialist, Sue Pudney. Her 3rd CC came at Southern Counties under breed specialist, Poppy Becker.

Ruby has had two litters and her winning progeny include our own Shenmore Sunny Jim (2 CCs, 4 RCCs) and his sister Suddenly Sunshine. Ruby is now retired from showing and breeding and enjoying life at home with us.
