Angel loves Beanz xx

Cima proving that she's not just a show dog, she's a pretty good teddy catcher too :o)

Ena, Ebene and Reba cooling under the fan.

Blossom

Blossom is going though that 'leggy' stage at the moment - this is her favourite position and I don't know how she can be comfortable like this :o)  She's still as bright as ever and loves to swim so hopefully she'll be doing the Gundog bit as she gets older.  I can't believe that I'm starting to put the entries in for a few shows already.  Her first show is on 22nd September which is also my birthday and is held fairly locally to me in Havant.    This was also Cenzos (her dad) first show as a pup - hope she does half as good as he did as he got Best Puppy in Show!!

The Game Fair

All went well with camping at the Game Fair (we are all still doing our best to forget the campsite toilets) with all the dogs behaving impeccably and most of the humans did too :o)

Luckily the campsite was set on top of a hill and at the edge of a wooded area with lots of shade so we were all pretty comfortable but the actually Game Fair was down in a dip and as soon as we got down there it was as hot as h.......!  It was really well organised with water stand pipes everywhere to wet the dogs down so they didn't fair too badly, it was us humans that suffered the most.

We all did our stints on the Barbet Club stand and there was a lot of interest in the breed from people wanting to know more about them.

If you would like to hear more then go to the Awelymore website and Claude Barbet has written about the experience from his prospective - its VERY funny and well worth a read.

Heres some pictures for you:
