Weimaraner Club of Scotland Open Obedience Show

The Cochrane Hall, Alva, hosts a number of shows and last Sunday it was the turn of the Weimaraner Club of Scotlands Open Obedience show.




The hall sits in a park with the Ochil hills as a stunning backdrop. Youd never guess from the photo above just what a mudbath dogs and handlers had to contend with in the rings! Many dogs found the conditions hard to cope with, especially when it came to having to sit or lie down in puddles!

Jennys Brint took the wet in his stride and took 2nd place in Beginners, just a quarter of a point behind the winner...so close yet again to winning out of Beginners. Margaret and Ellie were at their first open show and they also coped with all the mud and were placed a worthy 5th in Pre-Beginners. Well done to you both!

Thanks for the photos Margaret.

Irish Collie Club

Linda had a back to back showing weekend recently. She travelled over to Ireland for the Irish Collie Club champ show on Saturday 25th September, followed by Belfast on the Sunday.

It was well worth the trip because at the Irish Collie Clubs show Gino won the LD class and then took the RCC! Congratulations!

Thanks for sending in the photo Linda

Driffield Championship Show 2010

Driffield Champ show was held at Wetherby Racecourse last week, 30 Sept - 3 Oct. Conditions were not great and I think at least three of the four days were hit with rain, certainly Sunday had heavy rain for most of the day, which made for puddles in the rings, despite being in marquees, and plenty of mud everywhere. There were problems leaving the venue with some having to wait over two hours to get out!

Just a few results to report, I dont think many club members were there.

Lizs Poppy was 1st in Post Grad Bitch and sister Bunty was 3rd in Limit Bitch.

Sues pup (still dont know his name) won his Puppy Dog class and was Best Puppy, Katies Lara won her Yearling Bitch class.

Katrinas Marty was 2nd in Yearling Dog and Leo was 2nd in Limit Dog.

Well done everyone!
