Saffy - 13/10 - 9 Weeks Old

We went to an obedience show today. Saffy came along for the ride. She is really good in the car now. She settles in her cage without a murmur.
When we got there Saffy came out of the car for a wander round. She was a bit unsure where we were She still doesn't like dogs barking and of course there were quite a lot of dogs barking in the carpark, but she soon ignored them. We played tuggy with her squeaky fox and she focused on playing with me in a strange place.

During the lunch break we went into the equestrian center where the show was being held. We sat on the benches just to get used to the place. It was very echo-y (is that a word ?)
At first she just sat on my knee looking slightly worried but again her curiosity got the better of her and she started to explore. Several people came over to say hello and she was happy to be talked to and made a fuss of. The tannoy made several announcements and Saffy didn't take any notice of that at all. I had seen several dogs spook at the sound of the tannoy in the morning.

When we came out of the building and went to talk to various friends and their dogs. She is very calm about meeting everyone. Not worried but not jumping all over people. Everyone says how sensible she is. Of course they don't see her chasing around at home tormenting the other dogs.

At the end of the show we went for a run across the field.
Saffy livened up then. and started chasing the other dogs to play
