Title: Best in Show & Reserve BIS - the results are in
Post by: PennyB on August 17, 2013, 07:04:03 PM
Drum roll please - but 1st a word from the Judge himself

I'm Higgins the rescue Staffie and I'm also a fun-raising dog for the excellent charity www.medicaldetectiondogs.org.uk (http://www.medicaldetectiondogs.org.uk)
It has been pawsome that you've been able to raise money for the charity. Thank you!!!
Thank you for asking me to be your first ever doggy judge for your photo competition. I think I'd be as good as a human judge if not better as...
(1) I know a lot about dogs (as I am one)
(2) I know instantly whenever I see a really good looking dog (as every day I look in the mirror and I see one)
(3) You only really get to know a dog properly when you find out everything about them from top to bottom ... Sniffing bottoms is definitely a job for a doggy judge and not a human judge!
(4) I know a thing or too about good pictures as I live with a certain human who is a wildlife photographer...and he certainly learns a lot about wild life with me around!
(5) I understand about Cocker Spaniels as they are fun, adorable and a little barking mad like me....
Woofs, Handsome Higgins!

All the pics were fab so huge apaws to everyone. I want longer ears like a spaniel too!!!!

Pawsome to all at Cockersonline

Best in Show - Brodie (JennyBee).

Brodie deserves top prize as he looks incredibly silly and very embarrassed in this pic ! Has he been doing a mad cocker zoony and then fallen over as his legs were going too fast? He looks like he's just realised he's slipped in a big cow pat ! I officially award Brodie to be Best in Show because I think he's the mutts nuts ....sadly the vet removed mine years ago!!


Reserve Best in Show goes to Penny (Jonnydog)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/dinaht/e314d7d02c9cba12f2f2d60abc2ef9fb.jpg)
... because I think she's worth it ...with her glossy flowing fur and her black crinkled hairy ears ...she looks like a dog with grace, class and who likes to watch her figure .....so I guess she might have some left over food for me then?!   Paws up to pretty Penny.
