Thank you for telling us. I knew she had been ill some years back, but really thought she had come through the battle. Although do not think she had been to many shows recently, but then sometimes she didn't.

It must have been at least 9-10 years ago now when she was first diagnosed.

I will get in touch via a mutual friend Thanks Meg

That's very sad news indeed.

I don't know Janice but I do know Coco has a number of Charway dogs in her pedigree so without her I would not have my beloved girl.

So I say thank you to her and pray that her remaining time with us is peaceful and painless.

God bless.

Just to add my best wishes to Janice and her family. Not a lot I can add to this, but indeed a very sad time for all.

Janice is a very outspoken person, and judge in general and does not tolerate fools gladly. Janice is not only a UK CC ticket Judge but an international Judge. Well respected for her knowledge and understanding of the breed, and a lady who has the breed at heart. Janice is one of the forefront campaigners for bringing in compulsory Optigen eye testing for GPRA.

Janice Pritchard IS CHARWAY LABRADORS

Probably the most well know is Sh Ch Charway Ballywillwill, who went on to sire Charway Uncle Tom who gained 2CCs. Charway Uncle Tom went on to sire Cambremer Tom Sawyer and his litter brother Cambremer Tom Cobbley

So sad to hear this news - my thoughts are with Janice and her family.

I do not know her personally, but Cambremer Tom Cobbley of Charway is Harvey's G Grandsire.

I was shocked to hear of Janice's ill health.

She is well respected within the Labrador breeding world - always has the labrador at heart, and she is true to the breed. I last saw her on 24th August at a show in Harlach in Wales. She spent ages talking to my girls Isobel and Hilary about the correct bite for a Labrador, then gave them Mars Bars.
