First show since Crufts and a huge entry of over 190 for judge Madame Corinne Riboulet from France.
Firstly "Thanks" to Lorraine for the grooming prior to the shows so the dogs look at their best.
Well we had a very good day, I cannot show at moment due to knee and foot injury and hobble arround with my stick. Lorraine also handled Yeats again in the breed classes, and he was 2sd in Puppy dog, his last puppy class and 4th in Novice dog, so he has now qualified for Crufts 2010.
Lorraine also qualified her own boy Piper, Braemoran Celtic Piper at Romileys by taking 3rd in Post Graduate Dog, there was 11 in his class. She was delighted, and I was thrilled with Yeats.
Chevy, Paulyne's and Alan's dog Celtaur Bealtuinn of Palangor was 3rd in Graduate Dog, this wasn't a Crufts qualifying class, but he does not need to qualify each year as he has qualified for life by gaining his Junior Warrent.
Lorraine also stood 4th in Post Graduate Bitch with her Demi, Ordett Merlot Via Roydack JW, a good placing in a class of 18 and she like Chevy has her JW.
Little Nessie, Yeats sister attending her first championship show had entered 3 classes and although unplaced both owner and dog enjoyed the day out and will be at the next Championship show, Ali said she had a good day out and had never seen so many Gordons in one place..
Hannah who will be taking over showing Yeats for me this year was entered in Junior Handling and has now qualified for Richmond Semi Finals which is held in September, well done and good luck with the partnership as she normally shows my Munsters but have nothing right now to take out until the pup comes out in September.
Must say show was very well run and what a lovely atmoshere, it was lovely to walk round and chat with friends who I haven't seen since Setter and Pointer in Nov 2008, down side was had to leave before end of show as pups needed looking after at home.
Hope Ali managed to take some photos if so will post later on.
