Bit of Ginger love

Just remember peeps , Ginge has 2 shows this weekend and still no qualifier for Crufts , to my knowledge the only reason at the moment to have a meet up as I don't believe Molly's Mum has joined jet so everybody send your good luck thoughts our way

Loads of good luck vibes coming your way - knock em dead, Ginger! What class are you in now, Dave?

Sending lots of good luck. Where abouts a you showing xx

we are in Post Grad now Caryll Lynne we are showing at Leeds Champ Show Saturday and then Notts n Derby Breed champ show on Sunday

Ooooh, you can pop over to see a certain friend from Nottingham!  

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Well, I'm most surprised.........

Good luck Ginge aka Tommy and Dave for the forthcoming shows. It's hard work qualifying for Crufts with a popular breed, sure enough.

I once knew someone at ringcraft classes who was so proud that her Lakenois had qualified for Crufts. It was the only dog entered in its breed at the show!

little tougher comp for that for Ginge Lynda all the shows so far 150+ entries . I have to say if Tommy went to a show and got a 1-3 place in a qualifying class of 3 dogs then i wouldnt be happy and striving for a better result before the big C but thats just me and want him to win his place not qualify his place if you see what i mean . Ideal for me would be a 1-3 plce in a class of 20+

But I bet you'd still accept the qualifier!

The trouble is, if there are 3 dogs in a class, those 3 dogs might be absolutely top quality! Third place may well be a great placing!  

You know Tommy's good - you just need the judge to see it as well.  

Of course I would and we do have some really tough competition at the moment with 2 dogs that will steal the place from Tommy in most shows but thats life . End of the day if we qualify I wont settle until we qualify 3 times over if that makes sense

Good luck! Still plenty of time! Stunning boy like Tommy, he'll qualify for Crufts soon enough

I do understand what you mean, Dave. You want to qualify with Tommy beating some great dogs!

well we have certainly progressed a little since i wrote this , 2 qualifying places in the last 2 shows , they were relatively small classes so not counting our chickens quite yet but we have another show tomorrow at the KC Building City of Birmingham General Champ Show , Richmond next Saturday and then a couple more

Wow you are being kept very busy! Enjoy them all and good luck!

we get a weekend off end of September , then our local club Open show the following weekend , and then a double champ show the following Friday and Saturday and 1 a weekend then up to early December if i enter all the ones I have planned to so 10 more champ shows before xmas

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've just been looking at the Richmond show and I was astounded at the cost of entry fees these days, not to mention parking, catalogues etc etc etc. Dog showing is getting to be a very expensive hobby!

Good luuuuuuuck
