He’s such a superstar, you guys are so lovely and we had a fab time
I hope to be in the BASC ring next year with our GLP team, and hope you guys are joining us in the breed ring too

unfortunately not, our winning ended as soon as there were other dogs involved (Erik is still very young so quite immature- plus I’m a showing moron ) Our BOB was a beautiful bitch from Holland, her owner is absolutely lovely and it was very well deserved

I’m very disappointed in you! I bought an equafleece for the rodent (Mr EBs pet name for Erik
) today, but more purchases are planned for tomorrow

Had a great day yesterday. Suri was 4th in a strong puppy class with her sister 5th. Then their sire went best of breed and into the main ring

Pity Nancy the springer was tired in the gun dog final. She's lovely (and lean). There were some "show condition" dogs and handlers. Pity as if the handler can't run they can't show the dog properly.
I miss my flatties. This popped up on memories today

I watched the gun dog class last night but had drank a few vinos ( well earned might I add ) can anyone tell me what breed the beautiful long haired chocolate coloured one was ?

If you mean the group, I suspect it was the German Long haired pointer. EllieBeast on here has one.

Agree. Totally gorgeous
As a Weim owner, I was obviously delighted to see one win this year , and he was actually lean and well muscled, thank god. Also very happy , unlike the Visla who looked anything but, being yanked around by its owner

The vizsla is a really nice dog, just not well presented today.
Hendricks has long been a favourite of mine - Patsy breeds well balanced dogs with very good working drive.
The lab wasn't nearly as heavy as many and for once looked fit for function.
The scent in the main ring carpet is incredible I think, so trying to stop carpet sniffing is a very tough one!

That was Grace, the beautiful German Longhaired Pointer from Holland. A working dog so beauty and brains
her owner is absolutely lovely and so supportive of us newbies

Gosh some of the pastoral group seem really uncomfortable with the judge.. I wonder is it just the atmosphere getting to them?

I wondered that. Couldn’t work out if it was the atmosphere or the judge they were unhappy with.

I was watching the pastoral group live through YouTube- I missed the working class because I was watching the rugby! Was the working class bad also?That’s the working group . Unless you’re watching on YouTube. Although there are a few iffy ones in pastoral too

I think the working was worse but some unhappy dogs in both groups.

It was the working group I was watching. St Bernard and Tibetan Mastiff both iffy.

Vaguely fascinated to see Carl Hester and the Speaker of the House of Commons presented the working group winner trophy…..
