Pembrokeshire County Open Dog Show

Felt rather strange this year having the County show after WKC, really have no idea why the dates changed and it really hasn't made any difference to us at all.  A great day out on Tuesday, and a few agility runs for Eve on Wed & Thursday.  Trio wasn't entered for the agility and Maddie & Tilly have both been in season so weren't able to compete.  This has given us some extra time to visit the stands around the showground and support friends competing.

The open show is always a highlight of the year for us, we now have breed classes for both breeds and it was great to see so many tollers around the ring supporting the classes. A lovely friendly atmosphere and Cooper even brought cake along to celebrate his recent RCC and stud book achievement.  We had a great day in breed and the stakes classes taking a lovely collection of rosettes home, & a trophy courteously of Eleanor.

Eleanor won both the 6 -11 yrs JHA & YKC handling classes, with Tasha gaining 4th in both of hers in the 12 - 16 years age category.  Eleanor then went on to contend for the best JH in show, competing against the winners of the 12 -16 & 17 -24 age group winners.  She exceeded all our expectations to win this and came home with a lovely trophy.

Eve, took part in the agility and Eleanor gave her some confidence building runs over the medium height rather than push her over the full height courses.  This has built up both of their confidence and she did two enthusiastic rounds, with some further training over the winter it is hoped that she will be ready to have a full season competing next year.
