    Maya was looking better than i have seen her for months today jess - back to her previous form - i thought you were in with a shout.
    we won best puppy dog, best brace, and best team - that was an experience!!!!

    ps the judge had to run and read a text on his phone whilst going over one of my dogs….......

    Haha, I missed that Scott, which class was that? I agree about Maya too, she looked in really good form.

    Awww, thank you :D

    I missed the mobile phone incident too. Isnt it against the judges rules and regs to use a phone whilst judging? :o Bless 'im… :rolleyes:

  • Congrats to all!
    Does anybody have photos from this show? It would be nice to see forum members from GB and their dogs in action ;):).

  • There were a couple of people taking photos so i dont know if those will be emailed out or not, i hope they will as it would be lovely to see how Maya looked :D If any do get emailed to me i will see if i can get permission to post them on here, or facebook if not here :)

  • @Maya:

    I wont even attempt to spell her reg name :o

    Congratulations on your BIS with Saba, she is lovely.

    Thanks! :) you know me….i love an Egyption name! long and difficult to spell!!:D

    And difficult to pronounce!

    Sally was taking pics, she will be posting them on wherever she posts them!

    I hope I don't see any of me and Pip, Pip was not the best behaved. He wasn't interested in the skate park or the two football matches going on either side but couldn't take his eyes off of the man unrolling a hose in completely the wrong direction to where he should have been looking! Typical basenji :D

    I missed Pip in the ring :( He is looking lovely though, im sure the pics will show that :D

    I'd love to see some of Maya on the table :D The judge went over her really gently and was stroking her neck and back a lot and she was just loving it, closed her eyes as if she was having a fuss! Her grandad (breeders husband :p ) was taking pictures and said to me she looked very relaxed, almost asleep on the table where she was enjoying it so much :rolleyes: She was in a very lovey, fussy mood on saturday :D

    Yeah right :p she will have to be Saba or Princess! Danny's boy was the same, he's just Red now. :D

  • I'm just glad I've got something I can spell lol !!!!!!

    Well done by the way Paula, she looked lovely, however I am slightly biased lol !!!!!:)

  • The judge seemed courteous and professional to me when he judged Poppy. The show had a lovely atmosphere and even the footballers and skate boarders etc. did not seem to be any trouble. This is the last time at Brampton so let’s hope new venue is better if we are indoors. Well done to all the winners.

    Try googling the venue, I saw a pic of it this morning, it does look big with parking for 100 cars.

    Where is the new venue going to be Gerry?

  • Milton Community Centre, Coles Road, Milton, Cambridge

  • Cambridge sounds a long way away…

    I remember a few years ago i went to watch at a club show and it was held in Baginton. Why cant it move back there, thats fairly local for me!!! :D

  • It will be a bit further for you Jess, a bit south from Brampton but further over to the east, if you know what I mean! Travelling time for me would be approximately the same as Brampton, not a journey I enjoy very much though (M25 Roadworks)

  • That might end up being TOO far unfortunately, especially for the Open shows :( Brampton is pushing it a bit as it is.

  • It will be interesting to see what the entries are like there. I wont be at the December open show as it's a bad time of the year to take a day off of work (I have already taken a Saturday for LKA) but would possibly go to the spring open show depending on the judge.

    Jess, you soft southerner! :p lol. I would have thought that Cambridge would only be a couple of hours away for you - but admit that at that time of year i dont really like to travel too far either. Remind me to tell you about the time i was snowed in on the M6 on my way to a show (was it LKA in the early 1990's?)- stuck for 12 hours on the motorway, then 6 hours in a service area, finally they cleared the motorway back home (never did get to the show) - and on the way home my brand new car broke down 6 times…....:eek: think i was nearly in tears by the time home came back in sight!

    Yeah, but you Scots are used to having to travel hours and hours to get anywhere ;)

    If its more than 2 hours i have to REALLY convince myself i must go. And i dont do long distances on my own :p If i broke down i'd panic :eek:

    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.

    @cashh - Just curious, did you have your dog excused? Typically it is because of being lame in the ring or not letting the judge to exam the dog?

    I think they were for the newsletter but im not 100% sure, Trish emailed the pictures he took of Maya directly to me so its probably worth giving them a call/email :)
