Christmas Day

MUPTIES

Now we have a kennel name MUPTIES. Steve always calls a dog Muppet so this is how the kennel name comes from:)

We are just in the process of changing our dogs' names accordingly. Harley's registered name will be "Mupties Love Cats", and Maisy will be " Trimere Top Totty at Mupties", Mack is "Petranella Keep Counting at Mupties"

I think that I have taken the dog showing business quite seriously now:)

Coventry Gundog Open Show

Today we took three of them to Coventry Gundog Show. Harley enterred the junior class, Mack was in Graduate and Maisy was in Open class before the judge Brenda Hutchison.

Harley was place the first at his class. What a supprise as it was a quite strong class. I was pleased that Mack obtained his second place at his class. Mack had some problem with his tail today, a little bit upset this morning, but he did really well in the ring.

I was supprised that Maisy only got a third at her class. I thought that she behaved herself and stood beautifully when the judge went over her, not bothered at all. She walked nicely in the ring as well. Well, never mind. As they say: whatever happens, you always take the best dog(s) home.

Although it was a local show with no long journey, we both felt tired after the show. Perhaps I should still mainly show Harley to reduce the amount of work for preparation&showing.

English Springer Spaniel Club Open Show

27th November 2011, ESS club open show was held at Village hall in Nether Whitacre, Warwickshire.
Harley was just over 12 months so attended the junior class. He was placed the second at his class. I was
quite pleased with the result.
The judge's critique has already posted on Southern ESS website " a well presented 13 months young lad..." Thanks lot. Harley was a good boy at the show, apparently he liked the judge and decided not to run away from him:)
