Best Puppy In Show!

Hi hi everyone! Sorry we has been so quiet, but silly mummy has her final accountancy exam on Wednesday and she says she's too busy studying to help us blog, how rude! So we will catch up with all of you after that, but me had exciting news me just had to share!

Today mummy finded some free time to take me (and Big Harry and daddy and E and J came too to cheer me on) to our Airedale club show. My dog mummy Maggie, my brother Mick and my sissy Lottie beed there too, whee!

Here be Mick doing his thing. How handsome is he! Yes, me knows he's my brother, but me be proud of him. He winned best boy puppy.


Lottie did the companion classes but all the photos of her be really, really blurry, boo hoo! She really enjoyed herself and she getted a 1st for best dog under 2 years old, and 2nd for best condition, then a 2nd for best companion Airedale, whee! She had great fun and loved strutting her stuff! If her daddy has nice photos I will post some as she no has a bloggy but she reads mine. We had soooo much fun playing bitey face. Me was a bit bossy and putted her in a head lock a few times, but she no minded!

Then it beed my turn. Here mummy be getting me standing nicely for the judge.

Then the judge comes to look me over. Me has to stand nice and still and alert.

Checking my teethies, eyes and bone on my face and head. Me beed a good girl today, no slobbery kissies for the judge!

Then he has to feel all over my body starting with my shoulders. He be checking to see how sound my construction is, how much muscle me has, how my coat texture is and so on.

Still checking, yawn!

And he best bit, going round the ring. Me love, love, loves showing off. Mummy gives me a little chuck under the chin and we're off!

See how happy me is! Me not really supposed to look at mummy, me supposed to look straight ahead. Never mind!

Doing a bit better here. Me getted best puppy girl. Which meant me had to challenge my brother Mick for best puppy, tee hee!

So here be me and Mick. At first we just wanted to play, but eventually mummy and Mick's daddy got us to stand still!

And me getted best puppy in show, whee! It probably be bad form to beat your breeder tee hee! Nah, they be very pleased for us, and it is good for them to get 2 of their dogs the best puppy and reserve puppy. Our mummy Maggie winned reserve best bitch. Me beed a bit excited as you can see!

We also entered special beginners and we got a 1st in that too! Here the judge be writing his critique about me. It will be published in one of the doggy papers, so when it be published, mummy will let you know what the judge said.

So me has got 3 more rosettes for my collection! Daddy will have to make me a pin board to put them on.

A very tired but happy puppy!

Our parcel from Verdi & Gaucho from the present exchange arrived on Saturday. It be great!! Mummy needs to take some more photos then we will post about it (probably after mummy's exam on Wednesday). Muchas gracias Verdi y Gaucho!
