the judge was Anne-Marie Been Sluyters a continental Malinois specialist. Casey went in the ring first and he was being handled by our friend Laura, who is a really good Junior Handler. He was placed first in the class and was graded excellent.
Then it was Saffy's turn in the puppy bitch class with Laura handling again. Saffy also was placed first ahead of both her sisters and was graded Very Promising, the highest grade a puppy can get.
I took Ruby in the ring next as Laura had to go and handle another dog, but even with me handling Ruby was placed second and she was also graded excellent.
Luckily Laura was back in time for the best puppy in breed and expertly handled Saffy to best puppy in breed.
After the excitement of the breed judging I took Dora into the Obedience where we had entered Novice and A, the first time I had entered Dora in A.
We did the stays first and I wasn't sure whether Dora would manage the A sit stay as it is two minutes, but i needn't have worried, she did it fine, then she did the 3 minute out of site down stay and completed that successfully too.
Dora was a bit distracted doing her heelwork and the weather was very hot by then but overall i was pleased with it. then we had to do scent, again the first time she has done it in a competition, but she worked it very well and picked up the correct cloth and brought it back to me. We placed second in both Novice and A.
