Dog Change!!

We attended the Beagle Welfare Show last weekend, it's nice to support some of the charity shows and gives the children some additional practice, and a chance to catch up with like minded people.

Luckily it was held on the only dry day of the week, however the ground was still quite wet, but was well supported.

Tasha handled Tilly to win the Sporting section, and Eleanor handled Maddie to come 2nd in the Open.  As Tilly had won a pedigree class she wasn't eligible to enter the other classes, one of which was the junior handling class so she needed to borrow a dog.  Eleanor was already handling Maddie in the same class, and Christopher was borrowing her for the older age category of this class.

Tasha asked if she could handle a Leonberger, quite different from a Munster or a Toller!  Sue Toffee's owner had some reservations on whether she could cope with him, but Tasha being Tasha took him off for a practice.  All seemed to be going well so she took him in the class.  She did a fab job and won the class with Eleanor 2nd with Maddie.  Christopher then took Maddie in the win the 12 - 16 yrs class, so we had brother and sister in for the challenge!

Again Toffee went really well for Tasha and just had the edge over Christopher with Maddie.  Special thanks have to go to Toffee for being such a willing replacement, and to his owner Sue for very kindly entrusting her cuddly bear to Tasha.
