GSDR North East Virtual Dog Show

21/12/2020

Some more dogs whose rosettes have now arrived. I think these are the last of those that were posted out. I still have 5 or 6 rosettes left for owners who haven't contacted me about whether they want them or not.

The first photo is Missy, winner of the Any Other Breed of Dog class showing off her rosette and fridge magnet of the winning photograph. The second is Missy again who is standing in for her late daughter Honey who won the Rainbow Bridge class as well as BIS Non-GSD and the fridge magnet of the winning photograph and the third 3rd photo is Trixie showing of her 2nd prize rosette from the Action Class and a photograph of the winning photo.

A lovely post from the Northumberland Walk Group page from Brogan, whose mum entered Ernie in the competition. He won Class 12, 'Dog the Judge wants to take home' and came second in Class 1 GSD Male Adult!

Rosettes have all been sent out to everyone who sent me the postage, apart from the 4 top winners which will go out once I receive the books.

There are still quite a few rosettes left, that no-one has paid the postage for, so this is just a reminder, 1 rosette will be £1 to postage and more than one will be £3.10. and it can be sent to me at the same address as the entry fees.

Katie Robertson has now finished the portraits of the 4 top winners. I think they're brilliant and I'm sure their owners will agree! 💖 💖 💖

Keeping everyone in the loop, thanks to all of you who have already sent me their postage.

This is to confirm that I have this afternoon posted out the rosettes to Allison Louise Hewitt, Ashleigh Collins, Catherine Hardman, Gail Voyle, Kay McLoughlin, Lynne Blair, Mylene Prouvost, Nicola Thompson. I have Certificates of Posting, so if anyone doesn't get their rosette, please pm me and let me know. 👍

Ellie Jordan I'm still waiting for your address (sent you a pm a couple of days ago!)

Elina Darling, Megan McKee Mark Panther and Rebecca Bradley, Cara is signing your books and as soon as I get them, I'll be sending yours out.

Hi winners!!!

The rosettes are now all done and are ready to be posted out, so I'm asking you if you'll help me out with the postage costs. A lot of the rosettes are thicker than the 1" limit that the post office allow for a large letter which means that anyone who’s won more than 1 rosette, the postage will be £3.10 for parcel rate. Anyone who wants to collect theirs is welcome to come and collect them, but I know a lot of you don’t live near me. :( and I’m happy to hold onto them until we get back to normal and the walks start again for anyone who wants to collect theirs from the Northumberland Walk.

Everyone who was placed 1st 2nd & 3rd in their class get a rosette. Anyone who has won one rosette will need to send me £1, but anyone who has won more than 1 rosette, the postage will be £3.10. regardless of how many rosettes they have won. Megan McKee you have 2 rosettes, even though you only won 1 class, because you also have a BIS rosette and a book. And I’m also waiting for Rebecca Bradley‘s, Elina Darling's and Panther‘s dedication for the book.

Postage payment to be sent again to [email protected] via PayPal - friends & family option please. Don't forget to put your address in the message box or pm it to me. 👍

‼️‼️ NOVEMBER 2020 SHOW - BEST IN SHOW RESULTS! ‼️‼️

Cara has now sent me her Best in Show winners. Once again she has offered a signed book to each of the 4 winners. If you want to let me know in whose name you want the book dedicated I'll tell her. If I hear nothing, I'll just get her to dedicate it in the name of the person who entered the photograph. Hope you like thrillers – she writes a good one!

Robertson has also kindly offered the BIS winners and runners-up one of her ‘special artworks’ from a photograph of your choice. For those of you who don’t know what Katie does, she will turn your photograph into a digital oil or watercolour style portrait in jpeg format for you to print and is also offering the BIS GSD and the BIS NON-GSD an additional Christmas Window treatment or a Christmas Wreath. PM her the photograph you want given this treatment in the highest resolution you have and she’ll do it for you. I’ve attached a watercolour treatment she did on one of my dog’s photograph and example of the Christmas window photo she did of him and an example of the wreath.

And finally all place winners will receive a rosette and 1st place winners a flexible fridge magnet.

So ................................. drum role please.

Final results are in; once again I asked my friends Colin Hartley and Clarke Fahey, who breed and judge dogs (not GSDs) if they would do the ‘serious’ classes and I asked author Cara Hunter, who judged March’s BIS winners to judge the fun classes and the BIS for me. I will announce the Best in Show once it’s sorted. As I did last year, I have also gone through all the photos and chosen my favourites from the non-winners and have awarded them a “Show Manager’s Special” Rosette – just because I can!!! :) :) :)

So the following are the class results. I want to thank everyone who entered their beautiful dogs with a special thanks to all those who sent far more than their £1 entry fee, which boosted the final total by so much – you’re all brilliant!!!

The results are now in for the classes and I'll post them all tomorrow, once I've sorted through them.

I am still 2 payments missing, however, from Ged Dawson and JanDon Murray. I have private messaged you both, but not received a reply. It might be that you've sent the money to GSDR instead of to me, or you've sent it to me, but maybe made an error when typing my PayPal address, so it hasn't come through. If that's the case I apologise for bothering you, but would appreciate it if you would let me know what is happening, so that I can send the money raised off to GSDR. 👍

Entries are now closed for the show and I want to thank everyone who has taken the time to enter - there are some fabulous photos of beautiful dogs and other pets and I'm glad I don't have to judge it! :O :O

I still have a few people who haven't paid yet, so can I please ask you to get the payments sent off so that I can close it down and get the judges to judge the classes.

Good luck to everyone - thank you from Bosun and watch this space for the winners!
