Welsh Kennel Club Champ Show

We eventually made a decision to go to the WKC show, but only for the day.  A nice early start to ensure that we were there in plently of time for the YKC Obedience competition that Christopher and Eleanor wanted to attend.

Eleanor handled Maddie in the Starters Obedience and Christopher handled Tilly in the Elementary class.  Both had clear stays, dispite many dogs breaking stays around them.  The YKC were really considerate regarding the showing and allowed both the children to have early rounds so that they could them concertrate on the showing.  This was very much appreciated as the obedience had been moved to a hanger miles from the breed rings! 

Both had really good rounds, and informed me that the dogs worked well for them.  We then quickly relocated to the benching, after a quick breakfast!

Due to classes clashing Chirstopher allowed Eleanor to handle Tilly in the breed class, and he kept a watchful eye on them both whilst I stayed by the Munster ring.

Ruth had kindly brought Fae (Seahaven Celtic Seren) to the show to be shown in the minor puppy class.  Well she was so well behaved, never being shown before or handled by me since she left us as a little puppy.  She won the class!  So another one qualified for Crufts next year. 

Eleanor gained a 3rd with Tilly in Post Grad, and Maddie has a 2nd in Limit in their respective breed classes!

We hadn't had an opertunity to go back to the YKC rings to see how the children had got on, so when we saw Pat who ran the event we had to ask her as it had all finished.  Eleanor was thrilled to have been awarded 3rd with Maddie!

Well done to all.
