On the Saturday we went to the Royal Highland Showground for the dog show with our judge being Mr Hughes. Suzi Tagg did incredibly well with Mr Lowry (Swantonwood Lowry of Wrensmead JW) he took two classes. Jo was awarded a 2nd in Puppy dog with Gemswin Nites in White Satin .. well done Nev ! Gemma then won Post Graduate Dog, the DCC and Best of Breed with the brown job ... Gemswin Son of a Preacher Man JW. After that we didn't think the day could get better, however Roz's beautiful Denver daughter Woodfinch Lorelei won Minor Puppy bitch handled by Kelly Holland, myself and Jive gained a 5th in Post Graduate, and then Hayley won Limit Bitch with Rainesgift Clemence and Open Bitch with Rainesgift Fleur de Luna JW. The bad child Clem then won the BCC, her second !!!! We stayed to watch Gemma and Woody go round for Best In Show, Kelly and Flatcharm Wild Thing go round in Best Puppy In Show, and finally Ann Kilminster with SH CH Withybed Blue Jeans compete for Best Veteran In Show, Ann and Blazer eventually won Reserve Best Veteran In Show !!! A fabulous win for the ever so lovely Blazer ! When we got back to the house, many bottles of wine and Cava were opened to celebrate all our wonderful wins from the day, and to toast the blonde birds (Ruin the Goldie) for gaining an RCC and Junior Warrant earlier in the month.
Remus and Jive attempt to fly !
The next morning we were up with the larks to get everything packed and ready so we could head off to Yellowcraig beach. The beach was fantastic, the 12 dogs had a brilliant time flying through the surf, wrestling over discarded seaweed and digging holes which much to their annoyance filled with water. It was the end to a brilliant weekend, and a long journey home. Thank you everyone for making it such a wonderful weekend, and to Woody and Clem the stars of the show !!!
