Trimere English Springer Spaniels

Lovely Leeds and what a super setting in the grounds of Harewood House. I wonder how many people saw the fantastic Red Kites flying around the showground, they were fabulous, so regal. i was on my own here and to be honest, struggled with the workload of showing 4 dogs, come back Sarah all is forgiven. james won the dog CC BOB and gundog group 3, Roxie was 2nd in a very good Champion stakes class. When the show closed I went on to Frans for a bar-b-que and a get together this was good, food was excellent, Well done Fran and neil.

Took the caravan to Peterborough for the weekend, again the weather was good. We had a great social time with friends, (awe my head). The dog walking is normally good but this year it was held in conjunction with Flyball and Agility.
What a nightmare!!!! You could not let the dogs have a decent run off the lead as the whole showground was overtaken with Border collies, there were thousands of them and I mean thousands. I gave up in the end. Why when you try to find a little space to let your dogs blow off some steam do peaple insist on walking towards you when they can see you are retreating, then they have a go because your dogs are off the lead!!! ( dont they get thats why you tried to find the space in the first place). I came home feeling the dogs had missed out. We had a sucsessful show day with James getting the res CC and Nina winning the Post grad stakes.

Very hot day at Windsor today. We had a great day, won all our classes. Roxie was BOB, Eric was Best Dog. Inca won the Puppy bitch stakes. when we finished we took the dogs for a walk by the Thames and of course they all had a good swim, I got soaked when they came out.( mental note must stay away untill they have shook)
