Crufts 2012

Another year, another Crufts, this year we were not able to attend with our team, as Madison was not fit enough, and Jive is about to have her puppies. So we went with the Oaksenriver team consisting of Rimac and Atico, son and daughter of our Madison. The judges this year were Ann Youens (dogs) and Sue Kearton (bitches).

Mac was handled by myself in Yearling Dog, and Atty was in Yearling Bitch, both showed superbly, however today was not their day. They both performed wonderfully, but need a little more time to mature. Atty in particular enjoyed her outing at her very first Crufts !

Our bench mates Team Pinebank had a successful day, Riley (Pinebank Bossanova) was placed 5th in a very large and strong Veteran class. A fabulous win for Riley, however he was more impressed I think with his celebratory stuffed toy bought for him !

The humans also had a lovely day, with much shopping done (lots of things for the impending litter) throughout the 5 halls at Crufts. So now the new show year has commenced, the qualification process for Crufts 2013 begins afresh, wish us luck ! Also very good luck to all our friends on a successful 2012 season.
