Here are a few photographs of a few of the winning dogs. The cold, blustery conditions caused a lot of flapping of the tent canvas which spooked some of the more nervous puppies. Luckily the rain held off till after the judging was completed and we were safely packed up for the homeward journey.
Carole and I had an excellent day with our 4 dogs. Mo (Pyatshaw Ravel) came 3rd in Open Dog and so should gain his Stud Book number, Swallow (Meerwings The Swallow Tale by Pyatshaw) came 1st in Limit Bitch and then was given the Reserve Bitch Challenge Certificate, Carole's Emma (Meerwings a Butterfly Story) came 1st in Post Graduate Bitch and her Ellie(Pyatshaw Madam Butterfly over Meerwings) was placed 2nd in Open Bitch.

Match Night at Cupar Ringcraft.

In preparation for his first competition little Nuri had a quick dip in the sink and then underwent a gentle blow-dry. He was fairly co-operative compared to some previous pups who turned into little dervishes at the sight of water and dryer.
Both he and George won through the first round of the knockout competition but were out in the second. Both behaved remarkably well and made not a sound all evening as we sat round the hall watching proceedings then enjoying cakes and sandwiches to finish off. Needless to say I won nothing in the raffle.
The judge for the evening was Marion Gray (Evarclasi Cavaliers) from Carnoustie.

His first bath in the kitchen sink.

The judge studies 3 of the exhibits.

(L to R.) Viszla -Reserve Best in Match : BGVP - Best in Match : - Pomeranian--Best Pup in Match.
