Lancashire and Cheshire Dachshund Show

We had a lovely time at the show on Saturday. My new baby Findowries Easter Bonnet, also known as Beckies,was at her first show. She's just 6 months and 5 days old, so had only just qualified for it, and is still a fat roly poly puppy, so she was really just going for a practice, and to get used to the noise and the atmosphere of a show. Anyway, bless her, she didn't put a paw wrong. She was happy and confident, stood on the table without any worries, and finished 3rd in the class behind much older puppies, and qualified for Crufts. Her half sister Darcia Rose has just moved up from Junior to Post Grad, as she is now 18 months old, and this has meant that both my other girls have had to move up to the next class, so I wasn't expecting a lot. Well....Darcia Rose only went and won her class, beating 9 others. Fascination, not to be outdone went out into a bit Limit Bitch class and came second bless her, and the Rings N Roses came fifth in an Open Bitch class of 16, beaten only by champions and almost champions. Brilliant. Well done the Findowrie show team, we are all very proud of you, particularly as you are all completely "home grown", having bred your Mums and Dads.
