Well done both of you, glad to hear they can spot class when they see it

Well done, Missy

Thankyou everyone . I'm so on a high as this was Missy's first 1st today . I really didn't expect to win overall as there were some really nice dogs in the pedigree classes.
I'm just back from the stables , kept my pony in tonight out of all the rain we're having just now , so it took a wee while to get her stable ready for the night. She's tucked up all warm and cosy and she's happy to be in.
I'll need to upload pictures onto photobucket , so will get them posted soon.
Thanks again

Well done Missy

what a wonderful day for both of you xxx

Congratulations, to you both

Huge congrats to you both. I was hoping to get to Haddington Show yesterday but had my sister up looking at a Border Terrier pup so didn't make it. Was it a good show?

I look forward to seeing piccies.

well done missy

Excellent news. Congrats to you both.

well done,, bet your chuffed to bits xx

Here are the photos as promised. Sorry for the delay , I was shattered after the show and me and Missy were giving it big ZZZZZZZZZZZ's .
This morning , (Sunday) , I went to the stables to see to Florrie and when I was leaving , something went "clunk" on my car and it wouldn't move . Had to call out the AA , who couldn't fix it there and then so the guy gave me a lift home . I'm waiting to hear back from a mobile mechanic to see when he can go fix it. Meanwhile I'm stranded at home with no car , but the AA guy said it shouldn't cost a lot to fix. The handbrake lever and the back passenger side wheel is jammed . He said it looks like the brake pads have slipped round and jammed up the wheel . After spending a few hours with my pony then having to wait for the AA , I was tired so dosed off to sleep when I got home .
I've finally uploaded my pics of Haddington Show , so for all who are waiting to see , here ya go .
Here she is , practising standing for the judge.

Then I changed her collar for her fine leather half check . Here we are being judged in the "Best Sporting Dog"
Walking round the ring.

Waiting in line , we are at the far end.

Standing up for the judge,

and moving.

Placed 2nd in Best Sporting .


Then we went in to the Open Dog (open to all pedigree breeds). We're in the middle next to the Rottie.


We won . The Beardie was 2nd and the Dachshund 3rd.

Here's our Red rosette .

We then went in for the "Championship" , against the other pedigree class winners and 2nd's . I couldn't believe when we were placed first . Ehh , Me ? .


And here she is with her 1st rosette and " Best In Show " shield .


Finally , here's Missy at home , showing of what she's won in the last week . The yellow rosette is the one she got last Sunday at a charity dog show , 3rd in Prettiest Bitch. The blue 2nd and the red 1st plus the shield , she won at Haddington

Shona , I'm STILL on a high . I have to thank YOU partly for this as I did come to one of your training sessions . And I used your method to get her to stand for the judge , dog "in front" then shuffle a step back or forward to place her legs. I hate seeing show Staffies " hung up" by their collar and lead. Your way works great and there's no need to fiddle about with her legs to get her to stand nicely ,THANKYOU SHONA ((((((((((HUGS)))))))))) .
Moobli , it's a shame you couldn't make it , maybe next year ? Haddington is an excellent show with loads of things to see .There's a show at Duns on 2nd August. There's 2 classes for working sheepdogs ," Collie Dog Trials" as well as a companion dog show with 3 pedigree classes , 2 cross breed and 5 novelty classes. I've heard it's a really good show .
