The Show Scene

So on Sunday, 12th July John and I together with Bal and Cesur went off to the East of Engand Show i.e. Peterborough which is really quite local for us.

Although Cesur managed to secure Reserve Best Dog he was really in the mood for "showing off" and constantly barked throughout our time there and giving anyone who saw him the wrong idea. My theory is that because at home he is dominated by all females he was showing who was the boss. He was a real handful.

Bal on the other hand is a sweet puppy although still quite anxious when at shows although she is improving albeit slowly. She doesn't mind the running away from the judge but she is less than keen on the return. It's not that she minds returning to the judge she would just sooner run to John or whatever other dog we have with us on the day. However, on the day she did get Best Puppy in Breed.

So, on Saturday, 18th July we went off to the National Working & Pastoral Breeds Association Show in Malvern and although we had Ayca, Bal and Cesur entered we made a decision to leave Cesur at home and give ourselves an easier day.

The judge, Mr Jack Bispham, on the day found his Best of Breed in our own Asalet Ayca. She is such a little star and does everything she is asked and a real pleasure to take out. Below is her Kennel Club Award Card.

Bal was much the same as the week before and again was awarded Best Puppy in Breed.
