Best of Breeds for Keke and a Class in Group for Marilyn!
It’s the Labour Day long weekend here in Adelaide, which means there are the four Port Pirie Kennel Club Shows up at Bruce Oval, Port Pirie.
We were entered at all 4 of the shows, but with Smiling Hussy running on Monday, I’m going to the races instead.
It was a fun weekend, catching up with people we haven’t seen in a while, and we had some nice results in the Ring as well.
Our judges for the weekend were Mrs Diana Fenton, Mrs Annette Bowe and Mr Douglas Bowe – all of New South Wales.
Keke won Dog Challenge and Best of Breed at the 3 shows we competed in, with Marilyn winning Bitch Challenge and Runner-up Best of Breed at each show, as well as winning Australian Bred in Group at the first show under Mrs Fenton. This was Marilyn’s first ever Class in Group win!
In the Baby Dog Classes, Wil won Baby Puppy Dog at each show, with Hannah winning the Baby Bitch Classes. When it came to Baby of Breed, the honours were split, with Hannah winning Baby of Breed twice and Wil once.
Another pleasing thing about the weekend, is that I think I have finally worked out how to get Keke to gait nicely on the lead without jumping, grabbing my sleeve, and going into play mode. He was very “naughty” on Saturday – much to the amusement of everyone watching – but a friend of mine (Josie, from the Adelaide Plains Kennel & Obedience Club) suggested a technique, which seemed to work for the rest of the weekend.
I wonder if it will still work when we go to our next shows at Port Elliott next weekend
