London Cocker Society Champ Show

[Eljay]

What a great day!!   I eventually got home exhausted, but happy. Alfie never moved all the way home, in fact he sat up just as I pulled onto the drive.  
It was the first time I've done a champ show so I was very nervous. Alfie seems to take it in his stride though. His crate was next to Ruby's, but I didn't realise it at first and by the time I did I was too embarressed to say anything to Andrew. But Ruby is a beautiful girl and she looked lovely in the ring.
It was great to meet up with the COL team, and Misty is a little gem, and Alfie was very taken with her. I think it's another girlfriend for him, (along with the great dane at ringcraft !!!)
I wish I'd have found you all earlier in the day as we could have chatted some more. It would be good to meet up at a show again, Crufts is probably the best one as we can shop as well as chat and be surrounded by dogs.  What more could a girl want.    Thanks very much for the compliments about Alfie, I'm still learning with him and have a way to go , but I think we're going in the right direction.
and as Michele says we did get a 2nd in the tyro class, and I won two bottles of wine in the raffle I haven't drunk them yet though as I was so tired when I got in I was in bed by 9.30pm!!! I am off to ringcraft tonight as we have our super match so am getting him ready again. I'll let you know how it goes.
Alfie sends a big kiss to Misty.

Glad you all had a good day & well done to Lou & Alfie for their 2nd place! Lou, don't be embarassed, next time speak to Andrew - he can't remember names but if you say the magic words "Cockers Online", the lightbulb would have gone on

We had a good night again at our Super match evening, apart from arriving late as the kids were playing up before I left. (My youngest is at the Kevin stage!! :roll: ) Anyway, we got second in the puppy class, we were beaten by the Rottweiler, but we enjoyed ourselves as there was a nice buffett and won another bottle of wine and a clock in the raffle.  
We haven't got another show now till Dec 21st in Colchester, so a bit of a break, but I wish I was going to LKA, as so many people seem to be going there.
Good luck to anyone heading that way.
