We had a fabulous time, I thought the show was excellent, well set out and loved the agility, Sch. and the Long coat classes which you could not help 'but to look' and Linda looked like she was doing a really good job and enjoying herself, the best bit of the day for me was the Puppy Walk, alot of lovely puppies, and I enjoyed and laughed so much with the pups, for some reason it felt like this pulled everyone together. Just one little niggle, would of loved 1 trade stand there because I wanted to buy 2 balls and a collar and have a mouch around. But well done to the League for a great show for Tony Howson.
And well done to Dave and Rhoda for Videx Rakell for Best In Show, loved the Trophy.

Rhoda and I were obviously thrilled to take top honours with our dogs at this Show. Tony was a very close friend for many years, so we entered our best two dogs, Ice & Rakell in honour of Tony. It was very special for us when we won the Best in Show Trophy. Tony would be thrilled if this show marked a genuine turning point for our breed shows, he always said the fun and enjoyment our breed shows can give to so many is what really matters.

I was not present because CH. Varus was seriously ill and is in a Veterinary hospital now, we are hopeful he will recover.

Our sincere thanks to everyone who helped make this Show a truly "spectacular" show.

I would add the GSD League of Great Britain should be congratulated for organising and putting such an excellent and ground-breaking show. I sincerely believe that our breed show scene should seriously consider building a National Consultative GSD Forum through the GSD League of Great Britain, our oldest and most respected GSD Club within Great Britain. I know they have had their problems, some 10 or 12 years ago, but they are well behind them, they really are the GSD Club to help ALL of us take our breed forward under these very difficult times.

I've got to agree with what everyone else is saying, Great day out, great atmosphere everyone made welcome. This is how it should be done, WELL DONE to all involved.
Next time if we can have it without the crap we had on the run up to the show the entries will be even better.
We had good results with our girls, 2nd in adult, best puppy bitch and best puppy in show with our long coat Opium first picture the other thread.
Well done to David and Rhoda for the top awards. Hope all is well with Varus
