I'm voting with my feet as regards Boston -I cannot BELIEVE they had the cheek to have not ONE pastoral breed class! Last time at their last Open show Malinois had 20 entries which is virtually unheard of for an open show, so we thought we would have a good chance of getting classes. Nope, not a single pastoral breed class, all pastoral are AVNSC. I wouldn't give them my money!
same here Marianne - Boston CS is my local training club and loads of us 'belgy' people go there - we could'nt believe it that there was not a single class for ANY breed in the pastoral group - so I too voted with my feet and did not enter - there is usually a really good turn out of BSD at the shows in this area - particularly Malinois ;) so I did expect some classes - even without tickets :(
I'm having another go at this showing malarchy after a longish break. I really do enjoy it but hate being watched. I am starting with Manchester but not going to boston. Wishing everyone the best of luck at boston Looking forward to hearing the results
Yes good luck to everyone thats entered either/both shows :) We will be there at Manchester on the friday, never done this one before so looking forward to it :) (and its a day off work ;) )
The schedule says NOT judged on group system. Just as well considering there can only have been one Pastoral BOB and that from AVNSC. (Yes I am still so annoyed at this LOL.)
