Ayda did not have much of a puppy career as a result of Maureen being out of action with cancer. 

However, she finished her time in puppy in some style going Best Puppy in Show at North Riding Gundog Club's open show under breed specialist judge Ernie Lockett, following in the footsteps of her uncle Mathos (Sh Ch Maursett Mathos JW) who did the same in 2018 at the same show.  Judge Christine Schofield wrote:

"This girl possesses a well - balanced head with no exaggeration. Good reach of neck, well laid shoulders. Correct topline and good tail set. Moved very soundly with such precise foot fall and super side profile gait showing excellent reach and drive. BP & thrilled to see her take Best Puppy in Show."
