One of Brizo's Laekenois puppies

On Friday Deepha and I went to Midland Counties Champ Show Kobra stayed behind with his dad,

We started out about 6am weather was good, traffic was rather heavy on the m6, made one stop on the way and arrived about 8.15am weather still looking very promising, loaded up my trolley and went in to set up then went back to get deepha.

When jan arrived she was loaded up with other peoples dogs as well as her own so I went to give her a hand getting everything in.

Tervueren were in the big hall and the Groenendael and Malinois were in the annex.

Malinois started about 2.45pm by this time everybody had gone out of the annex so there was no atmosphere so as usual we made our own, malinois people are nuts we have a lot of fun at shows even if we are feeling low for some reason.

Bonvivant Esprit (Cougar) won BD and BOB Bonvivant Tete a Tete (Curoso) won RBD and BPuppy, Bonvivant Coup de Foudre avec Zodantta (Deepha) won BB and BOS Bonvivant Sorciere (Dana) won RBB.

Started home about 6pm the traffic on the m6 was horrendious, didn't get above 50mph from Stafford to the Thirewall Viaduct then it started to flow again approx 65miles bumper to bumper arrived home approx 9.45 tired and acheing.

Today we woke up to a flooded garden as it rained non stop all day and all night Saturday.

Our day out
Deepha and I had a lovely relaxed day out at the Blackpool ring craft Companion Show in aid of the North West air ambulance.I entered her in Open bitch which she came 4th, the Veteran class she came 2nd, then we were dragged into a fun class for adult handlers.Deepha enjoyed herself lapping up all the attention and she behaved herself inpeckably,(Jan you would have been proud of her).Before the show opened which was held at Lowther Pavilion Lytham St Annes we went for a walk on the prom and round the lowther gardens.Both Deepha and I were very relaxed and enjoyed just being us two and know Kobra bossing her about he had a nice day with his dad.

Lovely sunny morning, looks lovely from in the house but is rather chilly out side,

after doing some chores I took both dogs down the fields, tried to take some photo's with my phone its not easy with one dog on the lead, and not at all easy with my camera.

They have been having a good run round the paddock at home thoughly enjoying thereselves, at the moment they are both laid down in the study, Deepha preening herself and Kobra asleep on the chair.

Sorry I haven't written anything lately but I have been having problems with my computer and also with creating my blog.
But hopefully this is now behind me.
Went to Norbel show on Sunday the days weather turn out very nice had quite a good day Kobra won his class and got reserve best dog was very pleased with him, Deepha 2nd in her class but was only beaten by a dog so she got reserve best bitch.
I was wondering if any of you out there have a dog that pushes a picture round to look at the back to see if the subjects are behind it, know matter how many time I straighten them up he pushes them round to have a look, it's so funny watching him doing it.

On friday the 3rd October I went to Jan's to stay for a few days and to go to BSDA open show on the Sunday, it was a very early start, we both fell into the van and off we went it was a lousey day weather wise, but all our friends seamed to take it all in there stride.
Deepha was placed 3rd in the pre-beginners obedience and won her class in the breed ring and also got reserve best bitch.
Kobra was in Junior dog and came first, I was very pleased with him, (first time out since I pulled him out for a while so he could grow up a little and could overcome his likes and dislikes of the show scene.
Kobra, deepha and I are going to the NBSDC in Durham on Sunday, so if your going I will see you there.
