The weather was a lot brighter today and we were showing indoors so it was a much cleaner and drier show today. The judge was Janet McKay (Corralyn Papillons). Jaffa was awarded 1st place in Junior Dog and then Remy got 3rd place in Open Dog - we were really pleased with this as it was his first time in the Open Class. Lottie was in Limit Bitch and gained 3rd place.
Ann was showing Kaspa again. He was awarded 1st place in Puppy Dog. In the Dog Challenge he showed his socks off and made us so proud by becoming Best Dog (he automatically became Best Puppy Dog as well). He then had to challenge the Best Bitch for the ultimate award, and he WON!!!! Kaspa went Best in Show !!!!!
Many thanks to Ann for preparing and showing Kaspa so well.
Congratulations on this brilliant result.
