Judge Mrs Sue Bird
This is one show I love, the grounds are kept to perfection by the show society and although it is a 4 and half hour drive for me to attend, it is one of my favourites so overnight hotel booked and off I set with Eton and Arya. 

I did not expect anything except for an enjoyable show.  In Dogs, Eton won Limit Dog beating his son Chief and I was happy with that. 

Jon was awarded the Dog Reserve CC behind Bob Naull’s Champion Dog. 

Arya won her Limit Bitch class which was one of the largest classes in Smooth Collies and I was happy with that. 

In the Challenge I was thrilled Arya was awarded the Bitch CC and in the Challenge for Best of Breed, Arya did it again, she won Best of Breed!  

It was a very long day, the Smooth Collie Judging finished at 10:30am and we waited for the Group of which we did not feature but Arya did me proud representing our breed and did not put a foot wrong. 

A long journey home getting back at 22:15!!  But well worth it!
