We had an interesting day at the midland.

FIrstly I have to say that I am so thrilled with Nana for comming 2nd in the Simulated Coursing she had 5 brilliant courses and was very unlucky to be up against a huge dog in the final and its longer legs kept it tantalisingly just in front, but I am so incredibly pleased with her, she really gave her all.

Josie had qualified for the Champion of Champions, but missing one toe nail I didn't have much hope, but she got through the first cut only to decide, not having been lame on it once since she tore it out that she simply couldn't walk on it. I think standing still of 1 1/2 hours must have made it sore, poor girl.

But most excitingly we met lots of her family. As she's a rescue this must be quite rare, but as her breeder (who gave her to the rescue centre) sends rather a lot of other dogs in he is still in contact with the woman who runs the rescue :angry: and was at the show and was able to point out 2 of her sisters from the same litter, and one from the next. He had also handed over her mother to the rescue and my friend who runs the rescue has kept her so we were able to get a big family picture.

Sisters

WIth Swifty, their mother

Swifty

I was lucky enough to meet the exquisite little Fern (one of Alfyn's heavenly babies) who I did my best to kidnap, but with no luck, but I am totally in love.

Also Mally was extremely kind in helping me to buy a lamp so I can give the girls more work.

Looks like you had a great day, Well Done to your dogs. :thumbsup:

What a beautiful picture of the sisters, and of their sweet Mum :wub: :huggles: :wub:

Congratulations on your successes yesterday, Olivia, what a shame about Josie's toenail - I have had the same happen to me in the past, and it can be very disappointing. :huggles:

We went, but only met 1 k9er, john and colt! I must say colt in the flesh is extremely handsome and vvery big! He fitted in with my pack straight away and was willing to stay. :lol:

Personally i didn't find it much better than any other game fair and it was really big, i don't know how many times we got lost and ended up in the same place time and time again. I think it would have been better staying overnight, much more fun.

Nearly everyone there was very friendly and talkative, most of the time like we had known everyone for a long time, people down my way aren't friendly with people they don't know, so it was a real change.

Didn't win anything with the dogs in the ring which is unusual. :b BUT my 3/4 grey 1/4 collie won her heat of simulated coursing, which for the first time ever she was chasing the lure and not the other dog! :- " Her running mate was also 3/4 grey 1/8 border 1/8 beardie coll also from hancock. He wasn't really trying which was good for my bitch, in the final she just didn't try that time as she waited for the other dog to run!

All in all a good day. Well done Olivia and it was great to see john and colt. ( i didn't hit him for that terrible sexist joke on here) :lol:

 

[gemsbok]

He was quite welcome to stay as he is :wub: Im not sure why he liked that particular bitch though, she can't have pups as she has no 'bits' :lol: She is rather attractive though. :teehee: I would've gladly gone on sunday for racing and coursing, but none of mine qualified for the coursing and we missed the racing coz we went looking around the stalls. Definately going next year, i think it will be better staying overnight.

MYSELF AND MY PARTNER BRED TORI THE UNDERS WINNER AND SHE IS DEFINATLY UNDER 23" HER LITTER SISTER IS OVER AND THERE IS A DEFINATE DISTINCT DIFFERENCE IN HEIGHT! ELLIES STAR WAS ALSO FROM THE SAME LITTER! WE BRED HER AND SENT HER TO GARY FARMER! YOUR NOT MAKING MANY FRIENDS, YOUR COCKY JOKES AND NASTY COMMENTS ONLY RUB PEOPLE UP THE WRONG WAY ITS NOT GOOD FOR THE SPORT TO MAKE ENEMIES, ROSE HAS PUT HER HEART AND SOLE INTO THAT DOG SHE HAS SWEATED BLOOD AND GUTS FOR TORI AND IT SHOWS. I THINK YOU SHOULD WISE UP AND STOP PUTTING HER DOWN. IF YOU DID WELL WITH YOUR DOGS THEN GOOD FOR YOU AND I CONGRATULATE YOU BUT YOU SICKEN THE SPORT BY POSTING THOSE KINDS OF COMMENTS. TORI IS UNDER 23" AND THATS THAT, IT HAS NEVER BEEN A PROBLEM BEFORE.
