Manchester champ show
We just took Eira to the show. She had a busy day as we’d entered puppy and 2 stakes classes. Nothing in any of the classes for her but she is settling nicely.
Coalville Premier Open Show
Another weekend, another show! We are still building Eira’s confidence in the show ring and it is beginning to pay off, she’s getting much more settled. Eira got respectable 2nd and 3rd placings under judge Hilary Male. She pushed hard for a placing in the puppy stakes under Eddie Webster.

A couple of Open shows
We took Eira to Darwen Canine society’s Premier Open show last weekend. She was the only girl in the class, and behaved really well. Sadly the ring was tiny so she couldn’t settle into her stride. She got placed 2nd, so I was over the moon with her. We went to Sedgley and Gornal’s premierContinue reading “A couple of Open shows”

Only Eira was entered, and unfortunately she still has issues when being presented to the judge, so no placing for her. She was better than the last show and happy to say hello to lots of people.
