He is the first Lancashire Heeler male to receive this award, the first bitch being Ch Simonsville Ruby. This certificate recognises the support given by exhibitors to Open shows.

At least five points have to be gained in the group competition, with four points given for a group win, three points for second place, two points for third place and one point for fourth place, together with one point for Best of Breed.

An example to us all Buscuits.

Lancashire Heeler News October 2006
Doddsline Buscuits by Cheinban has now been awarded his first Challenge certificate at Driffield, under judge Ginette Simpson. Traqdean Vidaloca Florence also won the Bitch CC and BOB and was shortlisted to the last eight in the Pastoral Group.
This makes Florence a Champion, with her two previous CC's coming from Enid Lord and Sarah Whybrow, so all her CC's have come from breed specialists, and with two BOB and a RBIS. As her owner Tracy St Clair Pearce has a litter of Rottie puppies at home, she could not be at the show, so Florence travelled with Jacky Cutler and Sarah Whybrow, who showed her. Another demonstration of how supportive the Lancashire Heeler community can be.
A picture of Florence can be found in the Champions Gallery
Congratulations to all!
