Whitwick Dog Show

Having had such fun at the Hathern Dog show two weeks ago, Cherie and I decided to enter the girls into the Whitwick dog show today.

We entered more classes this time:

• Prettiest Bitch
• Bitch in best Condition
• Best Rescue Bitch
• A.V. Non Sporting Bitch
• A.V. Open

The weather was cooler than the last show, which was better for the girls. The judges were very thorough, but also very friendly and helpful. The girls were quite excited when we started, but did settle down as we went through the day.

Between us we won 6 rosettes, two 2nds, one 3rd, one 4th, one 5th and one 6th. Which we were really proud of them for. By the end of the day, Sheba also qualified to enter the Best in Show Final too.

Beth and Richard turned up in time to see us both in the last 2 classes and Sheba in the final. Beth and Cherie also took the girls to have a go on the Agility Course. That was really funny, I don't think Sheba could work out what was going on.

We were all tired when we got home, the girls had their tea and both fell asleep, Sheba on sofa next to me and Tia under Mick's feet.

Cousins come to play

May half term, my niece, great nephew and their GSD came to stay for a few days. The boys spent most of their time playing computer games and target practice with BB guns.My niece and I had a great week taking the four dogs out. The following pictures show the dogs having fun.

These were taken in the car on the way home afterwards.

My dogs get a visitor

I let my dogs out to play this morning and found a local dog had come to call. My dogs are Jessica and 8 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and Sheba a 3 year old German Shepherd. The visitor is an older (and bigger) German Shepherd male. He belongs to a retired gentleman who lives nearby.

All three dogs get along with each other really well and they also love playing with my kids.
I feel that German Shepherd have had some bad press in the past and it's time people realised that they are gentle caring dogs and are NOT dangerous if they have been looked after properly.
