Springwell Dog Show

[gemsybobsy]

Went to a doggy show today, for our sins. After a heavy night I might add (more on that later). Took my boys and Max who's staying with us for a couple of weeks. I didn't know he'd be here so we didn't enter him, but I reckon he would've won. Gorgeous collie-flower.



You have no idea how long it takes to get these pictures. The bastards never sit still. I think I'm going to seriously start training my boys properly. Especially Floyd - he's a liability!






My Didz was 3rd place Best Crossbreed Dog. Floyd only got commended in his Purebreed class 'cause he's a rubbish schnauzer. His fur is clipped instead of stripped, he has patches of white hairs, he has a broken ear, wouldn't let the judge touch his beard and he kept sniffing the ground instead of standing stacked and looking pretty. I think he would do far better at agility than ringcraft, bless him. When I tug his lead impatiently and get him to stand up straight, he looks at me as if to say, "I'm a dog, not a car. I like RUNNING, not looking pretty, you dumbass."

But Floyds adoreable, how can anyone can not give him first prize is beyond me. I'd give him first prize just for being so cool^^

Haha, I know I would too, but the judge was very old-fashioned and serious... Proper pedigree judges judge by breed standards and not on the dogs' own merits!

Not that she could even see that he had any merits, hahaha. When it came down to it, he just wanted to sniff things. >_
