FLATCOATED RETRIEVER SOCIETY
52nd Breed Championship Show & Breed Open Show
Saturday 13th June 2026

The Show Secretary and the Show Sub Committee would like to congratulate all those.
who competed at the Shows on Saturday at the Kennel Clun Building in Stoneleigh.

I think everyone will agree this is one of the best venues, everything is on site and quite entertaining this year as the Chows next door also had their show under a beach theme!
The rosettes as always looked amazing and very attractive against the black dogs and co-ordinating with the green venue.

It was lovely to see so many flatcoats and their owners and really encouraging to see lots of new faces. I was pleased to see good sportsmanship throughout and lovely temperaments in the dogs.

The raffle made a profit of £134, so thank you for all those who donated prizes, as it all helps to go towards making this show successful and retaining the low cost of entry fees.

Thank you to the judges Mrs G Gwilliam (Championship Show) & Ms Nicole Coe (Open Show) and Claire Leavy judging Junior Handling, and of course the stewards, committee and some very willing volunteers who helped both the night before and on the day to make this happen.

The final results are:
