I have owned cairns since 1978, my first being a family pet,
but l always wanted to show.
In 1987 l acquired my first show bitch,
Vanajam
Gypsy Lady soon after getting Gypsy,
l got another girl.
This time l
went to
Mrs. Monica Shuttlworth and brought home
Monary Saucy's Goldfinch for
Vanajam.
These two bitches set me on my way with my breeding program, as you
will
see from this website.

In the show ring Gypsy and Goldfinch gave me great fun, both
qualifying for
and being placed at Crufts, all in my first year of showing!
Goldfinch was
3rd in post graduate bitch and Gypsy was 3rd in limit bitch, l was
well and
truly hooked on this hobby.


When it came to selecting stud dogs for my bitches, l used a combination
of
Penticharm and Uniquecottage dogs, as this is what was behind
my bitches,
this combination has served me well.
Gypsy's daughter,
Vanajam
Gypsy Crystal
Ball (Crystal), produced my first two
champions. litter brother and
sister,
CH Vanajam Norse Voyger (Ross) and
CH Vanajam Fortune Teller
(Louis) and in
doing so is listed as an influential brood bitch.
This achievement l am
very
proud of. Ch Vanajam Norse Voyger, has also proved
himself as a top
sire,
being the sire of 3 UK champions and a
Swedish/Danish Champion Vanajam
Bon
Voyage also champions in the USA, Sweden and Germany, plus numerous
CC and
Res CC winners, Including my own Vanajam Visionary (Vis), who at
the moment
is on 2 CCs and the Res CC at Crufts this year 2001,

I took out the affix Vanajam, which is an amalgamation of my
daughters and
sons names
Vanessa
And
James.

Here you see Lucky , Crystal, Honey, Gypsy,
.............. I keep looking for the birdie !!!
