I would just like to say congratulations to everyone who did well at WELKS this weekend, we had a lovely day. When the sun came out it was glorious   but when it went in we were freezing!!!!.  :rolleyes:
But I wanted to ask you all if you knew who the lady is, that does the announcing . I dont mean to be disrespectful but what a breath of fresh air she is!!. I only wish she did all the shows, she had lots of us in bits all day. What a wonderful women!!

:( :( :( awwwwww! Typical!! *Sulk,sulk,sulk!!* :(
I couldnt make it (despite my desperate knotting sheets escape bid!)

:D :D Glad it was a good day tho' :D :D
spill the beans tho'!! how did the lovely Leo's do?????

I know what you mean she was hysterical talking in slow motion but at least you could understand her..... when she was talking about the dogs left in cars... in depth.
We got binned not impressed by judge she was giving loads to her own stud dogs progeny 12 all in all I looked through the book when I got back and she only left one out (probably didnt turn up ..LOL I didnt even notice until it was pointed out to me..   :(

Roni

I remember her last year and she made me smile :d :d  I was going to go with my friend who's showing to watch but I'm still awaiting for RAC Autoglass to phone me about my van, only 9 days since it happened, I'm getting very now!

Hope all you SWD people on here do well today :d

My chums Berger got the Res CC and his dad got CC, she is very happy :-)

Hi Helen. Dee having mad one and gone for sleep. so I'm using her id
Got fifth with bobby in Yearling in a strong class so very happy.
Thanks for the coffee and cheese sarni at the show. It sustained me until I got my Big Mac on the way home.
Uh oh Missie's coming better swipe the silver and leg it.

Megan57collies trolling on Missies username :)

>better swipe the silver<

>if you knew who the lady is, that does the announcing<

I thought she had been at the vino a bit early

Well done Karen, we didn't even make the cut :rolleyes:  Nice day though. 

Are you at EABCC champ show tomorrow?

Reserve CC for our young import boy. :D

WELL DONE EVERYONE !!

Well my friends also did well today with the Spanish.  My friends bitch got BB and the dog that she bred by two dogs that I bred (are you lost yet??) got BD !!!  Jenny got 1st with Archie, way to go (Lynn said he looks lovely by the way :) and Terri's pup although she didn't show her herself got 3rd !!

So well done to the Spanish today oh and not forgetting the Bracco which got best puppy :d ;d

Well done everyone wish I,d been at the show
Did anyone see the GSD judging by the way even if I can,t get to shows I,m still interested

Yey - well done Archieboy!!  and Jenny!

Well done to all who did well today!

Well done to all of you that had a great day! :-)

And commiserations to those like me who drove for 3 hours to get chucked out in a class of 6!

Thanks Rachel, I am his honorary grandma :d :d  Well I bred his daddy.  My friend Lynn said that he looked really nice today and she thinks that he will do well.  I love him he's got such a sparkly character !!

Hey Granny! :) I go to ringcraft with Jenny.  I love Archieboy - moves like a dream!

He can be a wee bit cheeky for Jenny - seems he behaved himself today though - just when it counts - good boy!

Yahay :-) way to go Jenny and Archie

CarolW

Yes i think the lady is brilliant!! :D I though she was great last year!! :D I actually asked her where the toilets were and she said in her very posh voice 'if you havent found them by now i would have though you would be bursting!!!' :D lol! Anyhoo! We got chucked with the bitch and VHC with the dog :rolleyes: im still wondering why on earth we entered! I knew we wouldnt do very well with ours as she doesnt like the irish type! But ah well! I did handle in the breeders stake for the first time for someone and we won in the terriers so that was great! And really good fun! HUGE congrats to everyone who did well!!

I think it would be nice to have a new thread for every champ show so we can all say how we got on even if we didnt get placed :)

i was to busy with brie in open bitch to show tangle so karen my stand bye show her for me.it was a long day for the imports not in untill 3.30

i was so please with my fcr girls today.brie 2nd in open bitch and blue 2nd in yealing

Well done Terri. At least you were in earlier than we were last year it was about 5.00 when we went in and there were only two breeds before us with small entries!!

Thanks everyone, Archie did behave himself today apart from the challenge for BP when he decided to bounce, but hey ho, Abby got a 3rd in PG bitch(6 in class) and Daisy got a res in Open (10 in class) with Katie handling her and she did get her going a bit, I was really pleased for her as I told her that she probably wouldnt get a place because of the class size and Daisy's lack of enthusiasum.

Bibi looked great and deserved her great success today,bless her shes such a cutie.

I might have a new addition soon !!!!!!!

Jenny B

So I've been told, nothing passes me :d  Did you see the Dilita lookalike?  The black and white girl???  If I could afford her I'd be there now for her but sadly I can't plus I've got enough on my plate :d  I beileve that you like the boy too :d :d  

Oooh, that's the only problem with this breed, once you've got one you've got to have more :d :d

Well done on the girls places too, no mean feat seeing as we have as many dogs now in classes as some breeds do at champ shows.

Katie well done to you also!!  That's a brilliant place that you had today.  Hopefully fingers crossed I'll get to see you show later on in the year,  i've really got to pull myself together and start going to shows!!

Yes I did see the black/white girl, I loved all the black/white girls, but its the boy I may have, the only girl left was the solid black, shame you know how I love black/whites the boy will loose some of his white I think.

Are you going to Vanessas do next weekend

Jenny

Well a boy would be of more use to you as he could be used with your girls, but a girl would be too close to Archie!! 

I really, really like the black girl, I know that she's big but boy she's like Moby as a pup and I love her head.  As you say, I don't think that the black boy will have much white when he's older.

Unfortunately I'm not going to Vanessa's next week, it's my birthday!  Not really doing anything but mum and dad always like me to go there and do a special meal :d :d 

Well done Terri

Travelled for a total of 20 hours, £220 for Trains, Hotel and Taxis and had to leave before the class to get the train back home!!!! How mad is that :rolleyes:

I've posted wrongly, so some may see this twice.  My GR girl gained her final points for her Junior Warrant by winning Junior and Yearling and then went on to take 3rd in Graduate.  My first JW winner and I bred her myself and also bred her mother. I am like a dog with two tails.

Woo hoo well done you :D

Well done everyone who had a placing :D :D

I got reserve in the PGB with my homebred bitch, very strong class.  I  found the ring too small and a few of us thought we'd break an ankle or take a dive while going round it :(  so my bitch didn't go really well as I was trying not to fall over :rolleyes:  Every year I say never again, but it's the closest show we have so....:rolleyes:

Congratulations to everyone who got placed :)
Molly managed a 5th and I was quite pleased with how she behaved :)
Should have taken her to Banbury today, but somehow managed to forget I had entered her :rolleyes: Didn't realise till I got my catalogue and saw her name
Hopefully I will remember to take her to Stafford :P

Looks like quite a lot of us had a good day.  Well done everyone.  To all who didn't do so well, we all take the best dog home.

Well done M he's a nice boy and deserves it.  Can't keep my boy in coat long enough to show him.

Paula

We know that problem with the sable boy Paula, he's never having another bath - we will get him to shows, dirty or not LOL.

M.

I was so proud of my little girl, it was her first show and she qualified for Crufts!

Thats great!! Well done reesy!!!!! :D My pup will have his first show in july! But im sooo excited! cant wait to show him! :D Well done again!!

sarah xx

Thanks.  There's no better feeling than coming out of the ring knowing your dog has given his/her best.  Even better when they get placed
