Title: Bryn's first show(and last according to his Mum, but I'll have words about that)

He was a bit stressed before going in the show ring, but Bryn acquitted himself very well and settled down. He stood nicely on the table for the Judge to examine him, and walked mostly very well to heel, apart from needing to scratch an itchy ear from time to time  ;D
I have a video but can't upload it to here so if you have FB here it is - https://www.facebook.com/doganjo/videos/10207959597417535/?pnref=story (https://www.facebook.com/doganjo/videos/10207959597417535/?pnref=story)

Rosie really dropped them both right into the deep end as this was not just a Championship Show, but also a Group  Working and Pastoral one - competing against all the top dogs in the country from those breeds.  Not only that he is only one week over the minimum age of 6 months!

Hopefully I can persuade her to show him at a smaller show locally, as I think for a 6 month pup he did very well and showed potential.

Well done, Bryn!

Thanks for the report, Annie.  He certainly looks the part in that pic  :thumbsup:  And yes, apart from the 'my ear's all itchy' head-shaking, a super show for such a young inexperienced dog.

Thank you. He really is a cracking wee dog.

Well done Bryn!! Showing is fun (and expensive and time consuming!!) as long as you don't take it too seriously.

He is a very fine little chap, I'm sure you really want to show him off a bit more, Rosemary !
