Vivre la France

We had a flying visit to France to compete in a 2 day dog show with Claude and Anouk (Barbet).  We met up with Wendy, Julian and Nicky with Martha and Hallie and also our friends from Holland, Anne and Wouter with their beautiful girls Alba and Lotus.

We all had a wonderful time with lots of laughs as usual and all the UK dogs did us proud.  Claude was graded Excellent and gained the CACS at the French Champ Show and the CACIB and Best of Breed at the International Ch. Show the next day.  He was also 'Confirmed' by M.Dupas.    Anouk was graded Very Promising (the highest grade a puppy is able to receive) and gained Best Puppy both days.   They both behaved sooo well which Karen and I was so proud of as neither of them had been to a show before.

Claude met his 'soon to be' lady friend Alba and was suitably impressed although he really fell in love with his half sister Lotus :o)  I think he was happy to see another dog who was the same colour as him lol !!
