Hi Wendy,
It is really great when a judge actually looks at a long hair and
to make such a loveley comment really makes your day.
Keep plugging along you will get there one day.

>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

the

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

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,
