Just wanted to tell everyone that we survived our first show!! :)
Newark and Notts was quite cold but we went prepared and really enjoyed it.
Our boy was second in his first breed class (only started with junior), first in AV puppy utility, and reserve AV utility group. Not bad for our first outing we think. :)
We met a lot of friendly people, not just in our breed.
Looking forward to the next one, when we've had some sleep!! ;)
Paula

Congratulations Paula :)

It's always good to get the first outing under out belts - whether the pair or either handler or dog!  I've never lost the butterflies on the way in or the adrenalin rush at the end of a class LOL.

Well done on doing so well with your young lad, he appears to have made quite an impact.
Best wishes for continued success and, importantly, enjoyment for you both :)
Teri

Well done.  I'm glad you enjoyed yourselves too :-)

Way to go, if that is your first ever show you've done very well!!!

What a great debut for you all, I bet you are so pleased with Charlie, he's a little star. See you on Wednesday.

Well done, how was he, did he behave :-)

Well done Paula.  That will be the bug started now :-)  Run if you can ;-) :-D

congratulations! A fab result for our first show!

Well done, that's great!!

well done (claps). as you know it was our first show too. zhaan got 3rd in Any variety hound and Reserve in Any variety puppy. I was not expecting much at her first show so I am really pleased. :)
but, oh so cold in the halls. had to go outside to defrost lol. but it was a good day and we enjoyed it. glad you had a good time too

my post should read YOUR first show not our. doh!

Well done you :)

well done always good to place at first show, :)
whens your next one?

Thanks Terri, It was both our firsts. First show for us and Charlie.
We couldn't have asked for a better out come for our first show, just getting the experience was why we were there, so coming home with rosettes was the icing!! :)
Paula 

Well Done to you too Vinya. I was looking out for you but wasn't sure what breed you had. :(
Paula

Coops555 our next open show is at Morecombe & Heysham on Sunday 23rd (keeping it close to home this time)
Then BUBA Champ show!!! (very scary) :)
Do you show?
Paula

Well done - fab result for first show!!!  Glad you enjoyed it :)

Hi Reesy, Charlie sort of behaved!!!!!! :)
He still wasn't happy about his teeth but we got there in the end. He was jumping up quite a lot while he was supposed to be standing in the first class but he is only 6 months and 1 week and he was having a ball so the excitement came through ;) Luckily he moved around the ring fantastic and let the judge put his hands on him no probs !!!! :) :)
I know we have a long way to go and not all our shows may be as good with regards to the results but we enjoyed the day and the friendly people who did mention the "Facey" thing then went on to win too, so it doesn't always go on who you know!! ;)
Paula

Well done, glad you had a fun / good time!! :-D

well done.
so please you had such a good result and glad you had fun.
here's to many more.
xxxx

I've just started a new thread as Charlie's breeder has told me I have got one of his placings wrong, he actually got a better one than I had put!! LOL
We are so new!!!! :)
Paula
