We Did it!
« on: January 28, 2007, 07:41:25 PM »
...Millie & I had our first open show today and I must admit when we got there I thought what am I doing   :o & nearly went home again! :005:

Anyway, we didnt, we stayed & once we were in the ring we were OK. I just imagined we were at our weekly ringcraft club and decided we were just going to enjoy ourselves. Millie is only 6 months & 10 days and was by far the youngest in the group - they all looked gorgeous against my little fluff ball but she was an absolute star and incredibly calm. She stood exactly as I set her and never flinched when the judge went over her. All in all I feel very pleased with how she behaved and am now looking forward to the next show!

Met some really nice people aswell so all in all a good day. Oh and we got 'reserve' so we got a rosette which we're pleased with. :blink:

Anyway just had to share as I feel much happier now her first show is under our belt so to speak!  :blink:
Your dog is your friend, partner & defender. You are his life, love & leader. He will be yours, faithful & true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.
