  • Well done Jess and Maya on your first show, especially the puppy stakes! It was lovely to actually meet her after following her photos and videos on the forums!

    Was lovely to see you again! I think Maya had more attention on Saturday than she ever has before in her life :D But she loved it all!

    I think i got a couple of pictures of your boy in the open class, will send them to you via other forum :) He looked lovely!

    Thanks everyone for the lovely comments and good wishes :)

  • It was lovely to see you again too! but it was Mayas big day, it was a shame it was so cold especially as the day before was quite warm! If you have pictures of Rufus I would be grateful, I would be amazed as he is such a fidget!

  • I have just PM'd them to you on t'other forum :) They aren't great im afraid as the lighting was awful, and i didnt want to use the flash. Theres only a couple, but one nice one of him stood :)

    It was just an awful first show for Maya. I love Southern Counties normally, but it was just miserable on saturday. I have to admit to pampering Maya somewhat at home so she was not overly impressed at being made to walk in all that mud and wet grass…!!!

  • I thought the pups all acquitted themselves very well considering the conditions, it's not as if the adult dogs were immaculate either, lots of huffing and puffing from handlers including yours truly!

  • She did good in the video. I loved the pictures

  • Maya looked great and you did really well. Thanks for recording the video, nice to see the action and not just pictures.

  • Great video… she looks good and typically "puppy"...gggg

    One pointer for you, when trying to move her front legs on the table, move from the elbow instead of mid/lower leg... she is less likely to pull it away from you....

  • Loved the videos. Good job! That ring for breed seemed so small, it must have been hard to gait her around in there.

    Thanks for that! Will try that next time :D

    And yes the breed ring was tiny, and Maya (when she actually gets going) has such a long stride and trots out quite fast so it wasnt ideal. But better than being out in the rain :)

    Thanks for all the nice comments.

    I will definately try to get some of Rufus… And hope they are not blurry!! lol Fingers crossed! I guess we will be in the same class as Trish and Dee's Coco, im assuming they will be putting her in the puppy class as well. I think they just want to see them all out there in the ring, they're not overly fussed about littermates clashing :) It must be so odd to have all the pups out at the same time, in my other breeds you get pups coming out all through the year!

    LOL, Bryan. I suppose it comes from all those years of my mom telling me, and me telling my kids, that it's not polite to brag! LOL BUT, I really do have a Wall of Jazz in my family room that has a bulletin board with all her ribbons, and the three show 8x10's next to it. So, maybe that's my subtle way of bragging to everyone that enters the room…?
