First off, I want to apologies as I can't get pics!!! On my phone and don't have access to a comp! Sorry guys!!!
Next I have to apologies that I never introduced Daisy formally!
Anyway, mum bought herself a little treat in the form of a mini wire haired dachshund a couple of months ago, has been to a couple of local dog shows and ring craft classes but had their first proper show together today aged 7 months,we had really hoped she would come in the top 3 and qualify but on arriving saw 13 entered and both decided it would have to be a fun practice run. Went into the first class (minor puppy bitch) and she was the only one not to shy away from the judge when she walked towards her, let her check teeth without a fuss (after endless practice!!! :O) and trotted (is that correct terminology for a dog?!!) out nicely without looking like a rabbit in the headlights. Mum struggled to get her to look forwards on the last stand bit but then got pulled in FIRST!!!! So they both qualified for crufts on their first (proper/affiliated) show!!! How exciting!!!! Can't WAIT!!!
So, inside tips guys?!! Not talking dog stuff per se - We'r off to do our best and have an exciting day out. I'm talking where to park, good trade stands...where to eat...stuff to watch...!! )))
