Yeovil Members Limit Show

Not far to go today to the Yeovil members show. Held at a very nice venue with fields all around the village hall. The ring was inside which worked out really well as it was a very hot day and at least the dogs were out of the sun in the hall...and the poor judges and helpers.
Maisie won the AV Gundog Puppy class which had a golden retriever and a lab shown by my friend Julie. Julie had won the Minor Puppy class with Roxy so sadly was a beaten puppy and couldn’t challenge for Best Puppy.
Blondie was in the AV Gundog Open which she won. Then we had the challenge so I handled Maisie and let Julie handle Blondie, and she did really well and Blondie got Best in Group and Maisie got the Best Puppy in Group.
We had to move the dogs around several times in the day just to keep away from the sun and we managed to keep them cool and comfortable, shame the same couldn’t be said for the handlers!
Then we were in for BIS. Blondie was full of beans and didn’t stop wagging her tail and looked very alert. I was thrilled to get Best in Show with her. The judge saying he would like to take her home with him. A great compliment from a cocker spaniel judge! Then it was Maisie’s turn. This little girl never seems to tire and she was very well behaved in the ring until a thoughtless spectator decided to slide a chair around just as I was moving her. Again was thrilled when she was awarded Reserve Best Puppy in Show.
Many thanks to the committee for a thoroughly enjoyable and friendly show. Special thanks must go to Mr Rodney Wyatt for placing my two girls and also to Julie for handling Blondie so beautifully.
