Well, the show was a good one for Whitelodge again! We had lots of good entries and places at the show and hopefully made a bit of money with the goods on offer too. Special Big Congrats to handsome WL boy Johnny who not only won Best Sighthound but also went on to win Best In Show, taking over adopted WLer Skye's winning mantle from last year - we rock! ;D I'm afraid i can't remember who won what (which is a good sign as it means we won so many!) but i know that Dilly, Jess, Roger, Ollie, Enzo, Rover, Kaye and not forgetting my own muttlet Harry, all did really well (forgive me if i have missed anyone) Think Alison took some fab photos of all the WL dogs and guests so excuse my poor relations but hey, first time in ages i actually remembered to take some so go with it! Ollie, Roger, Jess, Tracy and Gareth check out the competition Jess showing off those prize winning good looks Dilly Doo takes it all in her stride Sol posing (surely not?!) Diz and Harry showing juts how incredibly stressful it is at dog shows...yawn... Special thanks to Trace and Gill for the graft in setting up the stall - no mean feat with those evil finger eating gazebos Hope everyone enjoyed the day that went, nice to have some new bods join us and help raise the greyhound awareness ;D Jen, Diz and Harry (who would like to send his apologies to all those hounds he grumbled at :

We all had a lovely first dog show. Rover came second in sporting dogs and in over 21"Sighthounds (a certain WL boy Johnny beat him to the post!!) He also came 4th as the boy wonder in fancy dress (I'm sure he could have done better if he wasn't being handled by Batman, and distracted by the meringue (sorry cloud) next to him. Kay won first reserve, who actually let the judge touch her this time. Well done to everyone, I think we have all done WL proud. Lindsay, Rob, Alastair (Batman), Kay and Rover (the boy wonder). x x PS, will be at WL on sat for blood donnation.

Thank you everyone for making us feel so welcome on our first trip to a dog show. So proud of my boy (Enzo) coming 6th in the over 20 inch sighthounds. Loving his purple rosette, my favourite colour! I wasn't expecting to have to jog around the ring during the judging but the juge was very friendly and fortunately didn't mark the owners on their ability to run Great day with wonderful people and fabulous hounds. Next week will be another first for us as we'll be attending the pet blood bank at WL on Saturday. Well done everyone. Thanks again Karen

WOW! What a fantastic day everyone! Extremely proud of Johnny winning Best in Show! It was really out of the blue! To think that this time last year he was a quivering bag of nerves, he's done so well He's going to be in the Loughborough Echo, so when it's published I'll upload it on here. I'll try to name-drop WL as much as possible if I can! We hope to see you all soon! Attachments:
