Sabrefield Right Answer for Bonvivant JW
(Sabrefield Q'ee dee x Sabrefield New Story JW)

Cachet was my foundation bitch, bred by Liz Richardson, and was certainly the 'Right Answer' for me.
Cachet produced four litters of outstanding quality and was an ambassador for the breed. She had an amazing character and was a brilliant mother.

Ciel was an elegant bitch who took her time to enjoy the show ring.
Ciel gained a RCC just before the four varieties were split and was awarded her first CC at the age of eleven! 
She gained many Best Veteran awards.

Sadly she never produced puppies.

Zippy was only lightly shown after a very bad experience in the show ring as a puppy.
He was only ever used once to Bonvivant Halsane to produce one puppy -Bonvivant Zippydeedoodah.
He had a lovely character, scissor bite and full dentition, clear eyes and hips (x-rayed at 12 years old)

Champion  s.r. Bonvivant C'est Chic CSAU

(RE Maubray du Maugre x Sabrefield Right Answer for Bonvivant)


Cher was an amazing bitch from the first Passport litter of Malinois in the UK.
On her first trip abroad was awarded the CAC at the Mondiale. 
She was highly placed whenever she was shown in France and also was awarded the CAC in Holland. 
She was awarded her crowning CC in the UK under judge Amanda McClaren (Corsini) and was Best in Show and Best Veteran in Show the same day under Debbie Fleming (Ailort)

Sadly I had to retire her earlier than expected.

Chablis was a fantastic brood bitch who also loved showing but was always in the shade of her two sisters Cher and Deepha.



Sadly I lost her to cancer at 7 yrs old

Cesar was also from the first Passport litter and at his first Crufts was Best Puppy 
He was BOB at Crufts in -my first BOB winner to grace the big ring in the Group


Having been in partnership Cesar returned home where he enjoyed his last years-sadly, due to an eye injury, he was only shown a couple of times before retiring.

Cesar was the sire of multi Champion Revloch O'Baoill and the first Stonedragon litter.

Cesar had just had his fourteenth birthday when he died.

Mandrake

​dob 24th January 2001

Mandrake was a real gent- a gentle giant. He was great with all the other dogs.
He sired one litter and one of those competes in obedience and agility.
Sadly Manny had a nasal cancer and had two operations to remove part of his soft palate and four years later was inoperable.
