After some time showing Afghans we established the Heathergrove Kennels in 1989 and have been showing Beagles ever since.

Since then, we have made up six Champions, the latest this year being Ir Ch. Timamso Pirouette winning the group at Fermoy show under breed specialist Mr Maynard Collins. This was followed up by winning best in show the following day at the Hound Association Show in Rosslare under hound specialist Mr Tony Mulvaney.

One of our outstanding successes was winning a C.C. with Ir Ch Timamso Wilfred in 2004. A great achievement for him at 10 months. Wilfred is currently being campaigned in the U.K by Mrs Georgina Kemp.

Since 1992, I have undertaken the role of Secretary of the Beagle Club of Ireland. Part of the role is the organisation of the Beagle Club of Ireland Champ Show which is held in August every year.
