ACT Ladies Show Weekend

Another show weekend passes and I have to admitt I'm not overly unhappy that we have the next two weekends off. Occasionally even I like to hang around the house and just let the dogs be dogs.

All in all it was a good weekend, a bit on the cold and windy side but very normal for this time of year.

Dante managed to pick up 3 x Baby Puppy of Breeds, 1 x Baby Puppy in Group and 2 x 3rd placings in the Sweepsstakes classes (silly me thought there where 3 days of sweeps and paid extra money for a class that didn't happen.....ooops).

Dante showing off for the camera (only because I was bribing him with duck, he was really over it at this stage)

Dante's half uncle Tai

And Aislinn the Havanese puppy (oh she is just too cute for words!)

We caught up with friends and had ourselves a wonderful time and thats what showing, at least to me, is all about. Having a great day out with dogs and friends.

Offcause Dante thought staying clean all weekend has crappy and managed to get dirty on Monday afternoon after the show in about 2 mins, that has got to be some kind of record!

That lovely weekend helped me deal with this mornings episode involving our Lab and explosive shit all over my lounge room at 5.30 in the morning......

Honnestly that Lab . . . . ah, I have no words, I really don't.

Lets just say he is the first and last of his kind to grace this house lol

Happy Birthday Alchemy!

Well it was actually yesterday.....

2 years old already! Where has the time gone, it seems like only yesterday she was a tiny, naughty, escape artist puppy who wouldn't sleep anywhere but the end of our bed (infact she still sleeps there now!)
She really isn't my little baby anymore and soon she will be having puppies of her own.

In other news we did a few shows over the last few weekends, Cowra and Yass. Dante did us all proud getting 2 x Baby Puppy in GRoups and one 1st place in 3 - 6 month sweepstakes out of 37 puppies! We where all thrilled.
Yngvie also did well with my at Yass getting a lovely Best of Breed even though he was being a devil dog, naughty boy.

And a bit of fun in the show ring (we don't always take showing seriously ;)

The freezing winter temps have truely set in here at home and off cause the Sammie's are loving it, they spend almost all day outside, running around, chewing ice, playing in the frost. Lestat and I stay inside near the heater!
