Wow what a day!! Sorry a long post!!
Marlborough & District Premier Open Show - special girlies Ester and new kid on the block Daphne had the most amazing day!!
Daphne - Elgert BlackPink
Started the day with a fabulous 2nd in Minor puppy Stakes also winning £12 - judge Darren Clarke
Breed class clashes whilst I was in a Stakes with Ester so Bouttel kindly collected Daphne from her crate and showed her for me - stood alone in her class but apparently had some semblance of order standing and moving 🥰 went into the challenge where chaos ensued when she spotted me 🤣🤣🙈 Best Puppy in Breed - judge Blake Crocker
AV Gundog Puppy and a fabulous 2nd in a huge class (me handling this time) - Judge Blake Crocker
Then in Puppy Group gave the reigns back to Hannah as she won through to it and she went like a little pro and won Pupoy Group 3 in a nearly full Puppy Group - so proud of my munchkin for totally taking it in her stride with a complete stranger to her - obviously a rather wonderful human bean all the same but Daphne didn’t know that till later 🤩🥰 Judge Blake Crocker
Ester - Sh Ch Elgert Private Dancer- AV Stakes a lovely 3rd in rather a large and quality class (well done Richard Forsythe for winning!!) - Judge Darren Clarke
Hot footed to breed and win her Open Class and then Best of Breed ❤️ Judge Blake Crocker
In Gundog Grouo of 20 present my little star girl won it !! So proud of her as I just love showing her, such a sound and true mover totally fit for function!
Nothing in Best In Show but honoured to be representing the Gundog Group 👌
Huge thanks to Hannah and Sally Foster for the company all day and Hannah for wrangling the mad puppy 🤣 and especially staying right to the end for support - truly a wonderful day 🤩
To top it all off Martin drove me there and back as he had some jobs to do in the area 👌
