Devon County Open Show

What a fantastic day we had. The sun was hot and there was no breeze. Everyone was baking.
Maisie was in Special Yearling and there were six entered and all present. I was delighted when she won the class under Mr Roger Taylor (Maundale) and took Best Puppy in Breed. Later on she took Puppy Group 1 so we had to go back all the way to Exeter the next day.

Best in Show judge was Britt-Marie Young (Farouche). Unfortunately her judging was delayed by a couple of hours so we didn’t get in for Best in Show until around 6pm. Maisie had been snoozing most of the day so was still very fresh. I was overjoyed when she was awarded Best Puppy in Show. She won some money, a bag of treats and a big bag of dog food and had her photograph taken on the podium. I was most delighted that she has now qualified for Crufts 2011 along with Blondie. Huge thanks to her judges today.
