With the loss of the venue 48 hrs before the show the WUSV team had very little time to find an alternative for The Valentines Regional event, but they did. I have to confess that being out in a wet muddy field at the beginning of February was pushing it close to limits of my dedication, but we went! It was all it could have been and more. Wet, misty, muddy, windy, and cold, so so cold. A show I'll never forget, and not necessarily for the best reasons, but you make your own fun, and mostly we had fun!
Meerah was in first in the ring, and she was last. Disappointed? Well yeah to a degree with the position but not with her performance, critique, or grading. I'll post videos on a different post. She seemed to enjoy herself and looked as if she had an idea what to do ... hopefully it can only get better. Her young handler was lovely, patient and kind with her and his apology for not doing well enough at the end of the class was very unjustified, he did a great job and I wouldn't hesitate to ask him again.
Beti fared better and was SG4. In that company she was not going to get any higher up, but I was delighted with how she went and her critique. I was also delighted with compliments for her from people who matter and the praise for her character.
