The Hip Score is in !!

In August we took Cookie to have her hips x-rayed. We have just had the results and we are thrilled to announce that her score is 3/2 = 5 This is our lowest score ever, so to say we are happy is an understatement !!

In other news, we have attended a couple of shows in the past two months. At the beginning of September we were at Richmond Championship show. This is always a favourite seeing as it's our local show at a mere 20 minutes (compared to the normal 2 and a half hours for a normal show!) In attendance was Jive and Cookie under breed specialist Graham Lambert. Jive was awarded 5th in Veteran bitch, a tough class, as there are some true golden oldies. Then Cookie took to the stage and was awarded 4th in Junior bitch. Always a lovely atmosphere at the show, and good ice cream !

At the weekend we attended South of England Gundog at the South of England Showground. We had two judges, David McCubbin doing dogs, and Alex Webster-Newton proceeding over the bitches. All the girls were entered, which made for an entertaining change over between classes !! The results were ..... Cookie 3rd in Junior Bitch, Tuva 2nd in Post Graduate Bitch, Jive 1st Open Bitch, Reserve Best Bitch and Reserve Best of Breed. Massive well done to all the other winners, we celebrated with an M&S sandwich from the service station on the way home ... we know how to live !!!
