Champions!

A wet day at our second local show, this one is about 45miles away. An early start to get the show sheep loaded up and up the road to the show. It was so wet I put an old horse rug over their pen to give them shelter. The "primitive" sheep were judged last so wasnt until the afternoon until we got started. This was at the same time as the dogs show. Thankfully my mum was at the show so I was having to leave her in charge of a dog whilst in the sheep ring then off to the dog ring next door. Dris won his class and then champion of pets. Then I on a whim entered Breagh in the working sheepdog class which she won champion in, which meant I had both champions that had to go against each other for overall dog champion. A bit embarrassing in the ring with two dogs!! Dris won overall dog champion and again the horse won the overall show champion! Sorry for a poor photo but it was soooo wet at the show I darent have my camera. A great day of catching up with a lot of people.

The sheep didnt do as well as the dogs. The classes had the hebridean breed and shetland breed in the same class so not an easy combination to judge. The tups did well with two firsts but only one of our ewes was placed. A bit of fun even in the rain!

So proud of the dogs today but especially Breagh who has always struggled in situations where there are lots of dogs and people and today she was fantastic amazing how far she has come. As for Dris he knows hes handsome and was his usual calm self but a little cold and bedraggled by the end poor boy!

13c rain all day
