Picture: S Wilberg
This year Martin has won 3 CC's all with BOB, a Gundog Group 3; and 2 RCC's - all by the age of 19 months! We wish him continued success in 2009 and beyond.
Thanks go to his owners, Sigurd & Kari Wilberg and Joanne and John Blackburn-Bennett (registered to Sigurd Wilberg and Joanne Blackburn-Bennett) for supporting us as a small kennel and having the faith in one of our puppies. He is always presented in superb condition and is a much loved member of the Blackburn-Bennett household as well as a very successful show dog.
Congratulations to Penny (Penwest) for sharing the Top Pointer 2008 award with Sh Ch Penwest Paza. Well done Smudge!!!!

Kiswahili Pointers are sad to announce the loss of Jessica (Sedgekirk Sooner or Later of Kiswahili). She was put to sleep on 28.11.08, just weeks short of her 14th birthday, to save further suffering. We miss her terribly and have so many happy memories of the years we have shared with her.
Pictured below in her youth, enjoying life to the full. This is how we shall remember her for ever!!
We do not attend many shows in the Autumn and Winter months as we have commitments elsewhere but we enjoy following the successes of our friends and fellow show-goers.
We will be attending Gundog Breeds of Scotland and LKA, together with a handful of Open Shows.

Hutch won his first CC with BOB/BIS at the Pointer Club of Scotland championship show on 05.10.08. We are thrilled and thank all that have congratulated us in this win.
SHOW CHAMPION KISWAHILI MARTIN OF KANIX - Martin gained his 3rd CC and title under breed specialist Dr Ron James at Darlington Championship show in September 2008.
We are very proud as Martin is our first Show Champion and being homebred, even more special.
Welcome to the Kiswahili Pointers and British Shorthair cats website.
We hope that you enjoy looking through our pages and hope that you will contact us if you would like any further information. We are Caroline, Royston and Ben Walkling and we live in the Lincolnshire countryside just outside Market Rasen.
We moved from the south east of the country in October 2005, for a change of lifestyle and more room for the animals. We are now lucky enough to have several acres of our own land to run our dogs on and more space than we had ever dreamed of.
We have both been involved with various aspects of horses, dogs and cats all of our lives. We currently show pointers on the dog front and British Shorthaor silver cats.
Caroline has been placed on the Pointer Club A3 judging list in 2007 and is on the B judging list for the other two Pointer Clubs (Southern Pointer Club and the Pointer Club of Scotland.)
Royston is on the B judging list for all three of the Pointer Clubs (Pointer Club, Southern Pointer Club and Pointer Club of Scotland.)
We only breed pointers when we are looking to keep a puppy but enquiries are always welcome as we may know someone else that can help you if we cannot. We often have kittens for sale throughout the year but please check our 'Available' pages for the latest information.
We are always happy to chat to you or answer any queries you have about the dogs or the cats.
Enjoy your visit !!
