We've been very busy with shows recently, first off we attended Driffield Championship Show held at Wetherby Racecourse. What a day that was !! We had terrible weather, it was very wet and cold, a very water logged car park (we sat and watched a car with it's wheels spinning but going nowhere!), a very cramped tent with our benching, and the tiniest ring you have EVER seen, quite surprising for an Autumn show. Our microscopic ring also had a large wet/muddy patch which did see someone slip over, all of this combined meant that our judge Gordan Haran had a difficult if not impossible job of assessing movement. However Tuva (Harlistream Ellerstina) still managed to get a 3rd in Minor Puppy and a 4th in Puppy bitch, thus qualifying her for Crufts ! Today wasn't Jive's day and she went unplaced in Limit. We were really pleased with Tuva's first Championship show and the very difficult conditions she showed in, we were all very glad to get home that day !
Yesterday we attended Beckenham Open Show in Maidstone, Kent. Our judge was Manita Busser-Jager from Holland. Another wet day, but at least we had a decent wet weather ring this time ! Chance (Harlistream Astrada) won puppy, Tuva was 3rd, and then Jive (Clandrift Dirty Dancing at Harlistream) was 2nd in Open. Congratulations on the winners of the day, to Brian & Gill Broadbent with Blackshyne Super Trouper JW ShCM who went Best of Breed, Celia Taite with Gayplume Bowled Over who won Reserve Best of Breed and of course to Lorraine Connor and our own Harlistream Astrada who went Best Puppy In Breed.
