Crufts Qualified for Life!

D.O.B: 19/05/2024

Bred by: Gemma Borg (Alibor Beagles)

Owned by: Jane Whitton

Poppy is 100% hereditarily clear of MLS, NCCD and Lafora and tested clear for IGS and Factor VII as well as all other hereditary conditions.

Poppy gained her KC Stud Book Number in July 2022 at Leeds Championship Show under Stephen Goodwin on her first show back since having pups in May 2026!

Poppy was our exciting addition in 2024 as we had been looking for another to add their bloodlines to the pack and were so excited at the opportunity to have her. Her sire Annavah Bandit, whilst never shown himself is the litter brother to the incredible Ch Annavah Buttercup who took the show scene by storm as a pup and with their sire in turn being Ch Davricard Jacob AI whose career included BOB at Crufts and many Best in Show wins. Throughout the sire line we see some truly great dogs including being line bred to Ch Nedlaw Barbarian, a dog who was incredibly influential to this day.

On Poppy’s dam’s side it is even more exciting with her mum being litter sister to the reigning breed record holder, Ch Annavah Princess Tiana. Tiana has won three consecutive BOB titles at Crufts (2023, ’24 and ’25), having been Best Puppy there in 2022 and her own dam, Ch Annavah Knick Knack being BOB in 2019. Tiana has won multiple Best in Show titles and her own mother continues to be successful as a veteran as well. On the damsire side we see Ch Davricard Harlequin, himself a successful son of Ch Davricard Harrison who is possibly the most successful and influential sire in the history of the breed.

Poppy’s whole pedigree truly is a beauty to behold and not only that, she herself is the loveliest dog you could imagine. She is fully convinced that we all have one purpose on this earth and that is to love her and she loves every minute of her life, whether that is showing off her gorgeous trot in the show ring or being a mum to her first litter that she had in 2026 to Ch Rossut Endeavoured where she proved to be the perfect mum.
