A mini update for another Finlay dog show, this time the rescheduled South West Tibetan Spaniel Club show at Steventon in Oxfordshire.
It was a gorgeous hot sunny day for the 1 hour drive to the venue which was located on a village green in a very pretty village. The judge for the day was Jeff Luscott.
We had only entered Finlay into one class for this show and because it was originally scheduled in March he was in Minor Puppy, even though he was not now young enough to be a Minor Puppy. You stick in the class you were originally entered - so he was the biggest fluffiest Minor Puppy you've ever seen. Our class was fairly early in the day and in a class of 4 he got 2nd, which we were very happy with. The winner of that class went on to be best puppy, so we only got beaten by the best! Plus even 2nd in a breed championship show would have been good enough to qualify him for Crufts....if he hadn't already qualified the week before.
As a result of only being in one class, this show was a little different. We could relax a little and have a good natter to a few of the other Tibbie owners and start to put some names and faces together. We also watched a fair bit of the judging which made a change.
A lovely day out, checked out over 100 Tibbies, a very pleasant day in my book.
Here's Finlay doing his thing
Plus here's one of him relaxing on his Tibetan Spaniel Association blanket
