Two Day's Dog Showing

With Dog shows cancelled since March a lot of charities and stall holders are struggling. I've got fish that I usually buy at the shows from their online shop and I've supported a couple of virtual charity shows as well as a couple of fun club shows. Well in the first Orin was stone last and we both sulked! In the second all the dogs went "unplaced" in the breed classes but we had a couple of successes.

 We won First for our "Four Generation" Photo

Don't tell Perry and Jamie as they also entered but Luther got a second. 

Today was the German Shepherd Welfare Virtual show and as I got back from walking I got a message from Izzy to say that Bruce was third in his Long Coat male puppy class. Wow fantastic, well done Puppy Bruce - over 30 entries. 

I was really excited and went on to see how my guys had got on. Nico was unplaced in Veteran dog but OMG Asha won Veteran bitch .. and to top it all and make it a double celebration her daughter Lexi owned by Linda was third. 

None of the adults were placed and I went to look up Orin's class - not yet judged but 38 entries. Ah well. I nodded off on the sofa, turning the ringer off on the phone as I do. When I woke up there were congratulation messages from friends and from the show organisers. Baby Orin not only won his class but also got BPIS - Judge Steve Foran -a well respected breed judge! 

Hell I know it's a bit of fun and a dog can not be judged on a photo but it's still not wrong to be over the moon is it. His rosette will be posted to him this week, he won and didn't even have to raise a paw!
