Flat Coat Championship Show @ Stoneleigh

On Sunday 24th March with MUCH snow on the ground we set off to Stoneleigh with a car full of dogs.

Master Thomas made his debut at the show under Breed Specialist Judge Ann Brook. He was very bemused by the whole event and but took it in his stride and benched beautifully. He came second in his Minor Puppy class therefore Qualifying for Crufts 2014

Jean Bryant has sent me these beautiful 6 month photos of the Remus son Raker over in Australia. He has started his show career and is doing very well

Crufts and Discover Dogs 2013

This year Thomas and Remus flew the flag for the Rainesgift gang with Keli Martin (California) and Hayley Walker in charge. Thomas loved his meet and greet and lapped it up ...where as Remus was more interested in Hayley's Hattie and Finn (Rainesgift Hucklebery Finn to Lizzlog) spent his time jumping out of the pen ... because he could !!!
