An incurable case of 'reservitis'

Well, what can I say...2 shows in 2 days and a huge pile of green cards and rosettes which, although always nice to get placed, is really frustrating!! Orlaith, Viggo, Ethan and Dottie have all missed out on their '09 Crufts qualifiers by a single place since these were my last champ shows of the year and the entries have closed for the rest. It is hard when trying to fit champ shows in around flyball and agility and while there's no way I would be taking them all since I already have Spark, Dazzle, Kitten, Faith and Eabha qualified, it is always nice to have a choice. Ethan went really well on Sunday (not quite sure what came over him but he was absolutely full himself!) to come 4th in a large limit dog class which was great but just one place off getting his stud book number is pretty dissapointing. Spark bucked the trend with a 2nd in Junior Dog on Sunday, I missed his class on Saturday (nevermind!). Scottish weekend is an exhasuting marathon but it was good fun as usual and always nice to catch up with everyone over a couple of days.

Weekend Results
Saturday - Working and Pastoral Breeds of Scotland - Judge Mr R J Thomas
Orlaith - 4th (Reserve) in Minor Puppy Bitch

Sunday - Scottish Border Collie - Dog Judge Mrs Anne Layte (Pittensair) / Bitch Judge Mrs Carlolyn Ward (Caristan)
Kitten - 4th (Reserve) in Junior Bitch
Dottie - 4th (Reserve) in Post Graduate Bitch
Viggo - 4th (Reserve) in Minor Puppy Dog
Spark - 2nd in Junior Dog
Ethan - 4th (Reserve) in Limit Dog

On a good note...Orlaith's brother Diesel had a 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th and one of Mercy's pups, bred by Heather, won BPIS on Sunday at just 6 months and 1 day old!

I did take my camera but no piccies I'm afraid!
