This year being as though costs for everything have gone up extremely high including fuel and hotel accommodation, we are being very particular as to which shows we choose to enter and definitely shows that we may normally enter but have to stay over for due to overnight accommodation cost.

Judge Mr John Ritchie
The first Championship Dog Show of the Year and what a show it was for us! Chief was entered in Limit Dog and Jon (owned by Nick and Anne Smith) was in Open Dog.  Both won their classes so both in the dog challenge. 

I was absolutely thrilled that this year there was a role reversal, Chief clinching top spot for his first Dog CC and Jon (Chief’s half brother) winning the Dog Reserve CC!!  

Tracy came down from Scotland with Cali and was placed in her class which was huge, so a great achievement there also. 

Arya won Limit Bitch Class.
