Due to the terrible weather forecast Anna and I travelled to Stafford on Wednesday afternoon and stayed in a nearby Travel Lodge. Sue Deamer being unable to go asked if I would like to take Wills with me and show him. Of course I jumped at the chance to have him with us. And what fun company he was for Tootsie and Marnie.
Being our first championship show of the year it was nice to see dogs and people that we hadn't seen for some time. and of course to see the new puppies on there first outings.
Judge Liz Stannard had a very good entry of 167 Papillons.
Wills (Abbeyton Isle B Willin To Tri at Bankshill) was the first of our dogs in the ring and qualified for Crufts 2008 when placed 3rd in Puppy dog from an entry of 19.
Next was Marnie (Abbeyton Some Like It Hot) who got 2nd in Puppy bitch from an entry of 17.
Then in went Tootsie (Abbeyton To Sweet To Kiss at Bonmeshay) and from a very nice Junior bitch entry of 13 walked back out with reserve (4th).
The journey home was long and tiring due to the number of road closures etc because of the weather and HGV's being blown over by the strong winds. We were fortunate in that our normal four and a half hour journey took eight hours, I know that others driving home took so much longer.
