Tanjo Kinda Magic (Judy) won the Junior Gundog Group at the Swartland KC and went onto Reserve Best Junior in Show.

We took Casino and Luke to Port Elizabeth to the champ shows, and Luke won the group at the Walmer KC show, under judge Joe Field. We also showed Luke at the BRVKC Open show and he won the group under judge Michael Vorster. Jessica took 2nd in the puppy group.

September 2010

Tanjo Impression (Sophie) was bred to Casino and she has had eight pups, and the first liver tri-colour Casino has produced for us.

We have bred Tanjo Impression (Sophie) to Casino and expect pups early September. Ch Dansen's Sincerely at Tanjo (Ocho) was bred to Ch Hewville Charly's Pride (Charly) and pups are also expected early September.

June 2010

Leila's pups have progressed very nicely and we are thrilled with the quality of these pups. They are busy going off to their new homes at the moment.

Luke has continued to do well in the show ring and has just won the Gundog Puppy group and Group under judge Colin Bohler. We were thrilled with the wins as Luke is not too happy in the showring at the moment, after getting a fright at the East London shows.

We have decided to keep a liver & white female from our current litter, Tanjo Keepsake (Jessica) and hope that she shines in the ring when she grows up.

We are now waiting for Milly to come into season so that we may breed her to Casino before he leaves us for Canada.

Leila's pregnancy is confirmed and she is expecting a black/liver litter at the end of April. Luke won the Puppy Group at the Breede Rivier Vallei Kennel Club's open show on the 18 April under judge Michael Vorster.

February 2010

Casino has sired a litter of 7 liver and white pups to Ch Hewville Charly's Pride (Charly). After much hassle with Leila having continuous seasons all experts have advised breeding her again. Casino was shown at the KA championship show and won Best of Breed and Group 3 under Gerald Bidder. Luke earned his first CC under Gerald Bidder, and won the Best Springer Puppy.

Tanjo Jedi Knight, the black and white male puppy that we decided to keep from the Casino/Leila litter has already made his mark in the ring, by winning Best Baby Puppy in Show at his first outing at the Kennel Association non-championship show held in Constantia. We look forward to more ribbons from this striking young chap.

We left our adults at home for 2008 with the exception of the KUSA Nationals where we won the National English Springer Spaniel 2008 title with Ch Dansen’s Sincerely at Tanjo (imp USA) (Ocho), and only campaigned our homebred puppy bitch Tanjo Intrigue (Leila), and she has really done us proud.  She had thirteen shows, won nine puppy groups and was placed 2nd in the other four shows.  She won Best Puppy in Show five times during her puppy career, with one Group win and a Reserve Best in Show. She completed her puppy career by winning Reserve Best Puppy at the Western Cape Top Dog Competition, and Gundog Puppy Group winner at the Supa 7 Spectacular competition.
