Well the Looooooong journey up to Scotland and back turned out to be well worth it!  Duke won Limit and Klasi was 3rd in Open but the highlight was Will, who showed so well again and was such a good boy he won Puppy, BPD and BPIB.  So pleased with him!

I always forget what a long drive it is down to Exeter and swear to remind myself not to enter the next year, yet always manage to forget and do so!  However the place we stay is always lovely and the nearby chinese takeaway is excellent and the boys enjoy the prawn crackers!
Nice results on the day of the show with Duke winning a strong Post Graduate class and  Rufus being 2nd in Limit.  William decided to go through his teenage stage and played up but still managed to get a generous 3rd in puppy.

Fantastic day at Leeds the first sunny show of the year!  It was Will's first show on the day he turned 6 months and he showed like a pro not putting a foot wrong to win MPD and qualify for Crufts 2013!  We were just over the moon with how good he was and he really enjoyed his day out!

So excited that its Wills first show this week! Nervous too!  Hope I do him justice!  Eternal gratitude to Robert and Stuart for letting me have this oh so beautiful boy!

East of England Championship Show

Blackpool Championship Show

Another wet show but this was past wet and totally waterlogged to the extent the show was abandoned after the first day!  As always Klasi showed well regardless of the conditions to win 2nd in Open and Rufus also showed really well apart form jumping some of the puddles in the ring to win 2nd in Limit behind the CC winner.  Please no more wet shows!!!

We went to a local Fete today and took the pups for socialization. There was a dog show on so I asked the judge to go over baby will for pratice as he is still too young to enter, and he was an absolute superstar!  Stood like a rock on the table and moved nicely round the ring!  Was just over the moon with how good he was at this little practice session!

Border Union Championship Show

Another wet, waterlogged show!  Will we ever seen the sun LOL?!  Boys did not like paddling round the ring at all and both Duke and Rufus had some interesting actions trying to hop skip and jump over the puddles!  Nonetheless Duke was 2nd in PGD and Rufus was 3rd in LD.  Klasi showed as steady as every and was 2nd in Open Dog behind the CC winner.

Three Counties Championship Show

Despite being a cold wet day the lads showed well. In the breed classes Holsten and Duke won their classes and Klasi was third in open but it was in the stakes classes that we really made the day worthwhile. Klasi won open stakes under Tom Mather and Duke was 2nd in Good Citizen Stakes! Cash and dog food won so very happy bunny! (Despite how I look in this photo LOL)

Will growing up!

Not the best photo but good enough to see how this super little chap is coming on.  We are very excited about him and looking forward to his first show at Leeds in July

Southern Counties Championship Show

Another cold windy day for the boys but they didnt let me down under breed specialist Margaret Kempster.  Duke won a strong post Graduate class and Rufus won Limit which I was really pleased about as this judge had given then both puppy classes at Bournemouth two years ago so nice to see they are still liked.  Klasi as always showed his socks off and never put a foot wrong and was placed 2nd in open behind the BOB winner.

Bath Championship Show

Lovely days showing today with all the kids doing well.  Ziggy showed his socks off and Won a very strong Post Graduate class under Irene Jennings who had previously won him a RBPIS and BPIB so great to see she still liked him!  Duke was reserve in a strong limit class and Klasi was 3rd in Open.
