Oooooooh How exiting. She looks great  and it is all good experience for the both of you whatever happens. I'll have to drag out that age old saying again sorry, but you do always take the best dog home with you.  Me and Tally have learnt together. You will soon be bitten by the bug.  Let us know how you get on.

She looks lovely  - good luck at the show!! 

Its one thing abou having workers that I really miss is the coat. Rox and Rio have next to no coat at all  Mika makes up for it though and grows it like theres no tomorrow!!

Good luck Jo - she looks  - if she doesn't get placed the judge needs glasses!!

Aww that would have been lovely but you will have your hands well and truly full this weekend , sooo excited for you, looking forward to the pics, ooh and good luck with that, blacks are really hard to photograph but Nicola's tip is not to use the flash , get a good natural light
 The show is tommorow, I shouldn't really be on here as I have to get myself , 3 kids OH and Belle ready by 8am tommorow, so I've lots to do

Well, we are all exhausted. Really enjoyed the day Belle really behaved herself in the ring and I didn't have to take her in (thank goodness), She came 4th out of 4 in her Junior group (cockers) and 2nd out of 2 in Av gundog puppy. So she came last in both but we were up against stiff competition and I didn't expect her to be placed today, but later on in the day the judge came over to us to see Belle she said she had to come to say that she would have placed her higher had she been more confident in the ring, she said she was shaking during the exam as if she was looking for her Mum... blesss. But she said that she was a really good pup and with a bit more confidence will do well and she looks forward to seeing her again, so I was really really pleased. Another competitor came over to see her as she said she saw her in the ring and couldn't get over how pretty she was and daintily she moved, she also said that she normally isn't a cocker person but for Belle she would make an exception, so I am really pleased. Tom enjoyed too in his 1st JH comp. got a little distracted but did really well for his 1st show Off for a lie down now I think

Oh bless her heart. Well done all of you.  It's excellent experience for her. Sounds like both of you need a bit more confidence and you certainly shouldnt be lacking in confidence - she is beautiful!!!
