Up until now my 11 year old daughter has (very sensibly) avoided showing my 12 month old Elkie.He is a complete loon and far from co operative in the ring.
However a couple of weeks ago she decided to 'give it a go' and the write up was published today...it read....

Dogs name....ETC and a very nice write up of the dog followed by this about my daughter

IN HARMONY WITH HIS YOUNG HANDLER WHO SKILLFULLY OBTAINED THE BEST FROM HIM AND PRESENTED A SUPER PICTURE BOTH STANDING AND MOVING

Soooo chuffed!!
Archer

I think it makes you feel so proud of them when they get nice write ups.  Charlotte has only ever won two things and I dont think I could have been more if she had gone BIS with her.  She also won a trophy at a club show and it has pride of place in our house.

Well done to both you and your daughter.

Thankyou TTS....she works very hard and loves the dogs..Fingers crossed for her at Crufts
Archer

A very well done to your daughter Archer, bet you are just glowing with pride :)

Hey up Archer she doesn't fancy "moonlighting" in another breed does she like Staffords?? ;) But seriously it is a brilliant write up I am chuffed for her I really am.

Well done Karen

The only problem would be that you wouldn't get your staffy back Karen...she still yearns for another staff!!
Nikki

Oh well done to your daughter.  You no you should give up all handling now and just be the kennel maid/shofa!!!! :)

Now don't you go telling her that!!....she'll have me 'retired' all to quickly don't you worry :d
Archer

Now Archer don't make promises you won't keep

quote "The only problem would be that you wouldn't get your staffy back Karen...she still yearns for another staff!!"

She would return mine I promise you they "kiss" for England and there is only so much "kissing" a body can take. :) But you have little choice when pinned in your seat by two staffs. ;)

But Kazz this is your chance, :D a second home for you beloved babies... ;)  the peace...the quite...archer moaning at you...OK maybe not :D

Well done to your daughter, Archer! She should be very proud of herself!
:) :)

Well Done Archer, and to your daughter....
She is a really good little handler.....
I read the write up and realised who it was.... :)

Well done Archer, I can imagine the lump in the throat when you read it ;-) Good on her.

Ahh that's a lovely write-up.  I've seen her handling your dogs and she does brilliantly.  Here's to more good write ups!
