    That's a pity Steve:(

    Well done to the others:D


  • Sorry I forgot Scott 1st Limit Bitch with Tilly. Well done!

    Well done Scott and Tilly:D

    Seems like forum members have had a good day then:D


  • Well done to all the other winners as well. Tilly won 1st Limit bitch and 1st Not Bred By Exh - so we have won enough food for a few months.

    It was a great day i thought, the weather stayed just perfect - and i enjoyed the parade of champions - it was good to see some of the dogs i have only seen in pedigrees. Does anyone know how the elderly gentlemen who took ill (think it was Monty Bowers) was - did he get taken to hospital?


  • Oh no I hope Monty is ok:(

    Monty was taken to hospital, I was told he seemed a little better by the time they got him there, I haven't heard any more since as I have been at work today.


  • We had a lovely day. Managed to speak to some more folks from the forum at last! It was a lovely day. A shame about the gent who took ill, haven't any idea how he got on.
    Thanks to everyone who made us feel welcome. Steve it was nice to say hello, Poppy is lovely no matter what the results were yesterday. Well done to everyone else.

    That's good news then, hopefully he is better now.


  • Well done Theresa and Milo, Julie and Tegan, Jess and Maya, Scott and Tilly.
    Steve sorry you didn't have a good day with Poppy :(
    Wish we could have gone i feel i haven't seen people for ages and of course not had my Basenji fix.

    Monty is doing OK, will be in hospital for a few days, Em stayed with Bunty all last night, she really is a lovely girl.

    That is good news, poor Bunty and that was nice of Em to stay with her. Do we know why he was taken ill?? I know that he is getting on in years bless him.


  • It was thought to be either a diabetic coma or possibly a stroke. It was very hot and Bunty was trying to persuade him to go into the shade but he kept insisting he was all right but he later just became unresponsive, it must have been scary for her.

    Oh dear poor Bunty bit of a shock for her.

    Thanks for the update I can let my mum know now as mentioned it to her on the phone earlier.


  • I am sure we are all thinking of Monty and Bunty, I hear that he is ok and he will be transferred to East Grinstead or Tunbridge Wells in a few days.


  • Glad to hear he is going to be ok, i noticed a lot of shouting and commotion but was not too sure what was going on…

    But yeah, we had a nice day. Maya didnt put a foot wrong all day (despite the lovely football players and skaters all around - helpful!!) and she did really well in her two classes. It was a lovely, friendly atmosphere and we got chatting to several new people which is always nice!! I do feel terrible when we have to ask people who they are though lol!!

    Anyway, we now have a bit of a break from the champ shows until the next club show, so good luck everyone who's at Driffield (i think thats the next one??), we shall look out for you in the results!!

    I've tried bait and no bait in the ring. I think bait works better for Logan, but not for me. He likes it and responds to it well, but as a new handler it's a pain in the butt. I know what I'm expected to do. Doing it once in the ring is hard. I get caught up in the minute and then forget what I'm supposed to do the next. I once stacked Logan backwards on the table. D'oh! Logan is SUPER food driven and he knows if I have cookies in my pocket. That's all he'll pay attention to. Jumping on the handler is frowned upon. Yes, I know training and time will cure it. Not there yet. Too many hobbies. Showing, breeding, MGBs, stereos, astronomy, motorcycles, family, friends, travel, house, etc. I need more time.

    @Roux I have to live with the dogs 24/7. The judge sees them for maybe 3 minutes. My preference tops his/hers !

    @eeeefarm said in Complete newbie to showing: ... I had a husky/shepherd crossbred that was the same way. Put a muddy dog in the barn at night, open the door to a perfectly clean one in the morning! What the...? Did they wipe themselves with a horse? :face_with_tears_of_joy:
