We may have had a quite few months having not been out in the rings, however we have had a busy time at home, and we can now introduce our newest additions Chaos and Woody. We are hoping to start getting out and about again in the next few months.

After a break of several months we have just returned from a busy Crufts. Following a break of several years I was back working a dog in obedience at Crufts, where Reva was competing in the Special Pre Beginner Stakes Final. She worked her little socks off and finished in 2nd place in what was a very close fought top 5.

We went today to Discover Dogs with Reva who was competing in the Special Pre Beginner Stakes Semi Finals. Reva ended up coming 4th in good competition which has Qualified her to go through to the final which is held at Crufts!

Having had most of the year off Fidget, has made an appearance at 3 shows in the last 2 weeks, (Gundog Society of Wales, Joint Flatcoat Clubs and Midland Counties). She has been in the placeing at all 3 shows in a strong Post Grad class, including qualifying for Crufts. Thanks to her breeder Sally Collins for showing her at 2 of the shows. Fidget is now back to being a couch potato for a few more months.

Another obedience show for Reva and once again she stormed the rings, coming home with a 2nd in Pre Beginners and another 1st in Beginners. This means that having only ever attended 3 obedience shows she has now won out of Beginners! She will now be able to add the letters Beg. Ex. at the end of her name.

Reva attended her 2nd obedience show today and boy was she on fire! In Pre Beginners she worked early on in the running order to set a cracking round only losing 1 - which was eventually beaten by 2 other dogs leaving Reva in 3rd. There was a heat of the Special Pre Beginners class which Reva won, qualifying her for the Semi Final at Discover Dogs in November. She was then the last dog to work in Beginners with another cracking round and went on to Win the class!

Reva attended her first obedience show today and we weren't disappointed by her performance. In Pre-Beginners she worked a cracking round going into the stays in the lead, unfortunately she broke her sit stay but despite this still managed to be in the run off for 4th and 5th place, she enjoyed this far too much and ended up in 5th. She also worked in Beginners with another cracking round this time only let down by messing around on the retrieve, other wise she would also have been in the placing's if not won the class! Not bad for a first show and she had many positive comments about her attitude.
