Ynchreenoo show dogs, based in Ballasalla, enjoyed amazing success at Crufts.
The Manx show team of Pharaoh Hounds and an Ibizan Hound were competing at the world-famous dog show, held at The NEC in Birmingham from March 10 to 13 2016.
Ynchreenoo’s biggest success was with Pharaoh Hound Boy Muddy (show name CH Vaskurs Linford Christie Skumpanson at Ynchreenoo). Against competition from all over the world, three-year-old Muddy was first in the Open Dog class and won the Reserve Dog Challenge Certificate under top hound specialist judge Paul Singleton. The 17-month-old Ibizan Hound Ice (show name Snowlief Heart Full of Soul for Ynchreenoo) won his first ever Limit class and also took the Reserve Dog Challenge Certificate following judging by Ibizan breed specialist Alison Wilde.
Laura Merryweather, proprietor of Ynchreenoo Show Kennel, handled both Muddy and Ice to their first places.
She said: ‘Crufts 2016 was certainly one to remember for us. It was a fantastic experience to go head-to-head with some truly stunning exhibits from all over the world and we are really pleased to be awarded two Reserve CCs and looking forward to competing in future shows in the UK.'
Ynchreenoo has achieved some fantastic results over the last 12 months, including winning both the Top Pharaoh Hound dog and bitch within the UK Pharaoh Hound Club honours list 2015 and winning Top Ibizan Hound Puppy in the UK 2015.
