Busy, busy week

Well it has certainly been a busy week here!

Christopher has been in Croatia, myself and the girls went to Paignton Champ Show, and Sean kindly stayed home to keep Trio company.

I towed the caravan down to Paignton myself so the first time, and managed to set it all up fine.  Sadly the weather didn't hold for the showing on Sunday and we had a huge thunder storm with torrential rain whilst we were in the ring (acually I think it was like this all day!).  After drying Maddie off Eleanor took her in the junior handling class and came a creditable 3rd.  We took Max so that he could go in the puppy dog class and Jess brought his brother Rookie for this class as well.  To Jess's amazement Rookie won the class, with Max 2nd, a huge achievement as the other puppies were much older and had been shown before.  Both are now qualified for Crufts 2013.

Maddie gained a 3rd in the Post Grad class which we were pleased with as she is still rather short on coat!  She then had a jumping class and gained a clear round.

On Monday Maddie had a clear round in the jumping class, and a 3rd in the agility.  This is her hightest placing for agility, so rather proud of her competing against all those fast collies!

Milly attended National Gundog and the United Retriever shows, gaining a second place in puppy at each show.  Well done Lucy and Milly!
