Hi All!!
Many Thanks for your good luck messages, very much appreciated indeed!
Well we turned up and we did our bit, it was to say the very least stiflingly HOT!! Even at just after 10 a.m it was very hot and Darcy wilted in the heat along with many others! Basically we were in a class of 18, he gave a good account of himself, stood like the rock of Gibralter on the table, but I felt was "flat" on the move (due to the heat) but on the whole he really enjoyed himself and that is really important! In the UK we have massive classes that in the U.S would represent the entry for an entire show!! So we did our "Guest Appearance" and that was it, I am happy with the way he showed today, he is a baby (albeit a big one at that :lol and has much time ahead of him, I want for him to enjoy showing first and foremost, he is only 6 and a half months old, he has time on his side!
Showing in the UK is VERY different to the U.S, talking to Bruce recently he could not believe the size of classes we have here!
I also got the chance to meet up with the father of Crystal's litter and the chance to whisper "Thank You" in his ear, I also met up with several old friends, I haven't shown since early 2004 by the way. It was especially nice to meet up with Barbara Nixon, albeit briefly!
Principle Winners were:-
Dog CC, Best of Breed and Best in Show, the very beautiful CH: Keyingham Branwell. Reserve CC CH: Beauella Radzinski
Bitch CC, Reserve Best in Show and Best Opposite Sex Ir CH: Chantismere Cha Cha, Reserve CC Ricksbury Royal Empress
Best Bitch Puppy was the totally beautiful little Clentview Paris and the best puppy dog was Ricksbury Royal Tradition who went on to be Best Puppy in Show. Best Veteran was the totally beautiful Ch: Timsar Miss Chief who has won so very well in both the UK AND the U.S and is now back home with her breeder. Best Veteran Dog was the ruby boy Harana Sinatra.
