The Boy and Girl Done Good!

We went to Chatsworth County Show last weekend. There was a KC Open Show there on Friday for Small, Medium (Grades 1 to 7) and Large (Grades 1 to 3) dogs, and on Saturday there was a Limited Show for Large dogs of all Grades.
Well, Amber worked her legs off in her classes on Friday, though the massively wide jump wings and 5 foot poles meant that some of her lines were compromised, hence a fouth in Helter Skelter, not her forte, was her only placed result. Bryn, also did some excellent work in all classes and achieved his first placed rosette at an Open KC show by coming 5th in the Jumping class on Friday. On Saturday he ran first in the Power and Speed and was leading the class for the first 60% of the class but eventually ran out at 11th, being beaten by Grade 6 and 7 dogs - not bad for a 22 month old baby in Grade 3!!
I'm so proud of both of my dogs - I'm still buzzing about the way they ran for me a week after the event. The nearby burger bar sent a huge bag of beef, bacon and burger across as a reward for the way they tackled the course - and in Amber's case, her entertainment value.
