Easter Long Weekend

Long is the right word for it too.....

Dante and I went up to Sydney to help his breeder handle her dogs for the Sydney Royal and the NSW Samoyed show. And then hit the show ring back home for two days.

We had a fantastic time, I think Dante slept for two days after everything, bless him he was such a good boy the whole time.

Can't say that I won very much over the weekend, but Dante and Yngvie (who I handled for the first time) did pretty well for their first show and first shows in Australia, Yngvie went so far as to get 2 Jr In Group placings, so can't be unhappy with that! And Dante showed like a pro and picked up a Best Baby Puppy and 2nd in Sweepstakes.

It was lovely to finally meet Dante's father Pan who went Best In Show at the Sammy show and to see his brothers Freddy and Jack (wow they are all such beautiful puppies!) even if Jack and Dante decided they didn't like each other too much when Dante first showed up, they still had a fantastic time and I think he missed them a little when we got home.

Now for a nice relaxing weekend (that will more then likely be filled with washing dogs and mowing the lawn) before our trip away to Bathurst next weekend, 4 shows in 3 days, should be a blast.
