The end to the 2012 show season ....

We had a lovely day at LKA Championship Show today at the N.E.C in Birmingham. Jive and myself made the trip up, as it was the last show of the year, and more importantly the last chance to qualify for Crufts. I was kept busy showing some puppies bred by Lyn Irwin, Hawk was 4th in Minor Puppy Dog and Grace was 4th in Minor Puppy Bitch, well done puppies ! After a break to do some quick shopping and chatting, I was back in the ring in Limit Bitch. This time with my dog, the ever so lovely Miss Jive Bunny, it was a strong class of 14 with 2 absent. Jive showed her little socks off, and to my utter delight was awarded 2nd qualifying her for Crufts, and thus awarding her, her Stud Book Number and Crufts qualification for life! She is the third dog I have owned to be awarded a Stud Book Number, and it feels just as exciting as if it were the first. Thank you Team Pinebank for the support today, and thank you so much to all our well wishers, it means so much. On that note, I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. See you all in 2013 !
