KCP Visiting Judges

Mrs Jane Eyeington, England FCI Judge

For over 20 years, with my husband Steve, we have had both the working and show gundogs. Our breeds are Labradors, German Shorthaired Pointers and English Springer Spaniels. We were granted the affix ‘Meadowdale’ in February 1995. To date, we have made a Full Champion German Shorthaired Pointer, along with other dogs that have gained field trial and show awards.

Our Labradors are of the working type, which have competed in Field Trials and working tests, but mainly worked on the local shoots. My main breed for showing is the English Springer Spaniel. To date there have been 8 show champion dogs to carry the Meadowdale affix, and 4 Irish Show Champions, along with many other awards such as JW, ShCM, CC’s and RCCs.

I was delighted to have achieved ‘Top Breeder’ 2013 & 2014 and ‘Top Brood’ for 2013, 2014 & 2016 for the English Springer Spaniel. Previously I also having been awarded several ‘Top Puppy’ awards. A thrilling moment for me was in 2014, to have won ‘Best of Breed’ at Crufts. Then in 2015 to have ‘made up’ the first Black/White & Tan Champion dog after more than 20 years.
