Hi all,
No, this is not a brag (unfortunately!) but at least a nice comment.
For the benefit of those list members from outside of NSW, or in
fact Australia, the Spring Fair is two large dog shows held on the
Canine Council grounds in western Sydney, over two days. This year
there was over 2,000 entries on both days. On the Saturday, our baby
Riley was the only longhair. He is 3 & a half months and it was his
second show. Our judge was Mrs C Jarman from South Africa, although
I'm sure she didn't have a South African accent. When we were
finishing up in the ring, Mrs Jarman came to shake my hand and
said "He is very, very nice." That was nice, but I thought no more
about it. The next morning I was walking down to the ring, and she
walked past, and then stopped me. She then told me that he was so
very nice, and such bone! She told me that she wanted to give him
2nd baby in the group, but the steward told her she could give only
one. How cool is that! He was the very first puppy born to us, and
we only got two. So I guess it's close enough to a show brag for me,
a judge who actually looked down the end of the line. Hopefully I'll
be able to actually put up a show brag here one day!
Hope every one is keeping well and we see a few more longs in the
ring,
Wendy
