I have no open/championship shows coming up (planned to enter National Gundog but realised at 11.59 last night that the entries were closing then, ugh) so today I went to a local companion show to get my showing fix! It was a really nice day and I saw lots of people I know from training classes and from shows.

Felix was a star as always, and was 1st in the AV Junior class out of around 10-15 entries :)
I entered him in the obedience too. Last month he won 1st in a basic companion obedience class (his first time competing in obedience!) so this time we couldn't go in the lower class. I entered him in the middle class, and he did well! We lost 4 marks overall, and did a run off for 2nd/3rd. He did his favourite trick of sitting wonky so we came a very respectable 3rd :)
He is the first dog I have trained in obedience and is only 15 months old. I'm still very new to obedience - it's a whole new world and a bit daunting! We haven't been to our obedience training class for 4 weeks and haven't done much practice either - I think if we had he might have got that 2nd place!
We have our first "proper" obedience show next weekend - Clevedon & District Open.

Typically, the results for the obedience were being announced just as I had to go into the BIS ring! I made it into best in show, and Felix showed his socks off again and won RBIS :D
He has brains as well as beauty! I'm very proud of my boy :)

Wow well done you and Felix!!  You're braver than me, only ever done one obedience test and that was at our training club.  Good luck for the future!!

Just looked at the Border Union results and a girl that I've bred and who must is 5 years old came second in her class behind the top winning bitch and there were other well known dogs behind her.  I know that Judith will be over the moon as she won Best Bitch with her years ago at Leeds when she'd just come out of puppy but hadn't really done much since.  I'm so chuffed for her!

Well done bekki and felix see you tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!! hehehehehehee

Just goes to show, that as much pleasure and fun can be had at the smaller shows. Well done to you both, I bet your bursting.

Well done! We do ok at companion shows, but it was a bit rubbish at Newmarket, our heelwork was sloppy, she anticipated her retrieve which is very unusual, and when a few drops of rain fell halfway through our downstay she got up, came over and said 'I'm a Cavalier, I don't lie on wet grass'! It was still raining when it was time for the other stays so we didn't even try them - I'd warned the steward! Never mind we won the AV Toy class though. :-)
