Rookie at Cornwall Gundog Club

Rookie headed to Cornwall Gundog Club's Open show again last weekend. Their last show was held on Easter bank holiday, where this year Rookie won the LM Open class and took BOB, so I was delighted when he managed to repeat this at their September show!

Rookie and his prizes

He does love dog shows, the social side more than anything though, not as much a fan of the standing still part! He also loves judges, he has mastered staying on the floor for them now but can't help but stare lovingly into their eyes, wagging his tail as they go over him. He has only managed to successfully land a sneaky kiss once though!

Time to wind down at Royal Cornwall Showground

Royal Cornwall is a fabulous venue, tons of space to walk around. It's a long old day for a dog like Rookie waiting around for the group, but he handled it well and moved really nicely, but my goodness can't you tell the difference between people like me and the real pros up there! Handling is a real skill. A gorgeous German Wirehaired Pointer won the group, I love the look of those fuzzy faced dogs. 

Seahaven's Celtic Commander

Rookie and I have just started our two weeks with two of Rookie's best labrador friends, Henry and Alfie. Rookie loves Alfie so much, they spend a lot of time playing and zooming around the house. It's the cutest thing when they first get together again after a long break, they're just like puppies and go silly for each other!

With Chili and Teak

Rookie is loving this windy, rainy weather. He loves going off and doing his gundog thing on Dartmoor in it.

Hello ladies!

There are not enough hours in the day at the moment, but it's lovely finally sitting down for the night for munster cuddles (I'm sure Toller ones are pretty good too!)
