| Loki at Ruthin |
These are all the open shows we have attended this year to date. You may notice Sammi hasn't won anything .. but the truth of it is, she was only at 2 of the shows and was placed in both. (1st at NWGSD - 2nd at Cheshire) In most cases we have limited classes at open shows and now Sammi, Loki and Kaiah compete in GSD Open. It's simply impossible for me to show more than one in the same class. I mainly take Loki as I'm collecting points for his show certificate of excellence which is something new that started this year. He currently has 21 of the 50 needed - not bad for a season's work is it! As I said Bella is not mine, but being Loki's sister, Nico's daughter then she too is family! I can safely say we have really had a super year and have dominated the open shows .. but of course ever dog has it's day and we must never become complacent. It's quite possible that at the next show a shapeless dog with crap movement will pip us to the post and go BOB. Be joyful in winning and gracious in defeat ... just slag them off on the way home in the van! Haha

Asha has also had a great year winning Best Veteran at NWGSD and Pastoral Veteran Group 1 at Caernarfon and Pwllheli shows. Sadly we came home before her class last week, it was just getting too late!

Sammi missed 3 shows close together early in the year as she was coating then in season, Kaiah only missed EOE, but really shouldn't have been shown at Blackpool as she was naked then too! It really has been a great year with all 4 qualified for Crufts ... Will I go? Time will tell?
