We haven't won any trophy's yet (w00t) but when we do, I will still have them 33 years on, never fear. Unless I'm dead I suppose :- "

Your trophy is lovely, and I can imagine it was a lovely feeling when you came across it. :thumbsup:

I have lot of rossetes and ribbons and treasure them all

Yep got 2 boxes full of them, cant throw them away though sentimental value, some go back 15 years, from dogs that have sadly passed way, but the memories are still there. :huggles:

I was only a very young kid then.

Yes, I've still got a box of mine from the 60's. First one with my pedigree bitch Lady Luck (Tellstar Moon x Interflora) at the New Forest Whippet Racing Club in 1968

Yup, trophies, rosettes the lot, i even have a suitcase with my grandads old trophies, velvet jackets and certificates in.

I still to this day keep my envelopes that you get your winnings in ANORAK :lol: When i got my first dog my mum bought me a hard back book and i wrote every win she ever had in, even just at the club - still have that too :b It's good to look back every so often.

(w00t) We got our first trophy yesterday (w00t)

I am so proud of my boy (and also very embarrassed by the scream of suprise/shock/joy that I let out during the presentations yesterday afternoon :b )

We will be treasuring it forever :cheers:

Sadly Kerri's first trophy had to go back the following year. Still remember it now, Stormy Weathers puppy trophy up in Scotland at the George Haggart Memorial.

Stormy Weathers it was, lashed it down with rain all day long and we were all soaked to the skin. Kerri kicked up lots of water and ended up covered in mud but she loved it. Still runs her best in wet weather :- " .
