So, 12 March 2010 arrived and off we set for Crufts 2010! Here are some pics of the day and the dogs during showing. A huge thank you to Brett, owner of Fred and Jess, for taking these amazing pics of us and the dogs - a wonderful memory of a wonderful day.
We arrived early (nothing new there....) and set the benches up...
A quick wander round before the show got busy to see what doggy shopping had to offer!...
We like to take the boys round the ring a few times before the show opens so they get used to the ring...here is Angus having a run...
And then, the big moment came.....first class with the boys was Postgraduate. Here we are getting the boys 'in the zone', which technically means trying to calm them down and feeding them chicken treats!! We are waiting for the class to be called...
Angus with Gerry
And Archie with Nick practising show poses!...
The boys waiting for the judge (and us nattering!!)...
Archie on the table being judged...
And then Angus on the table being judged...
The dogs showed and moved brilliantly and we were so proud of them both. Angus wasn't placed but Archie got Reserve (4th) - WELL DONE ARCHIBALD!!! Here he is waiting for his award...
Phew - boys over, time for lunch and a rest....then Plum was in the ring with Dawn...getting ready for the judge...
And on the table to be judged...
Looking beauuuuuuutiful in the ring!!...lovely Plum Bob...
After a long and big class of judging, Plum wins Reserve (4th)!!! Go Plumster!!!
A fabulous day, the dogs were perfect and we had such fun. Well done doggies - home for dinner and a large glass of wine!!!
Roll on Crufts 2011!!!
