Richmond Show

Richmond Show was on Sunday September 11th with Ann Brooks judging. The ring was very hard going  with it being the 3rd day as it was clearly full of interesting smells and bait. Again Mr Remus scraped a second but really wasn't keen on moving, especially the very short distance across the ring to the other side of the ring.
Clem won her  Limit Class and still a quite hairless Luna won a 5th in the Mid limit Class.
Lovely to see the Hayley and Linda Walker's Denver and Rosie baby win Best Puppy in breed with her sister and half sister Abbey (owned by Roz Bellamy) placed in the class with her x

Show News

Again I'm behind with the Show news so I'll go straight in to Birmingham on September 3rd and Mr Mike Gadsby judging Flat Coats for the first time at Championship Show level. Still slightly fuzzy from the night before's Partying Mr Gadsby made sure we had plenty of exercise in the ring with Mr Remus coming second in the Graduate class to an even fuzzier from the night before Gemma Jacobs and Woody.

Handling Remus daughter Coedylan Viste D'arte for the first time she gained a fourth in her class.
The bad child came away empty handed in her huge Limit class.
Really good to see a judge move the dogs as much as Mr Gadsby did, most enlightening and the halting of proceedings due to a very brave and errant Pigeon was highly amusing!
Thankyou to those who joined me for Cake and drinkies at my bench and again thankyou for my presents x
