Well still not down to earth yet, it still hasn't sunk in what she has realy achieved.
She had a photo shoot today with the photographer from the Courier our local paper, I got a look in this time because he wanted a picture of both of us.
We have had lots and lots of congratulations from many many people and she's laid here taking everything in her stride.
Deepha's next outing is East of England we are going to stay with her breeder Jan.

IT'S CELEBRATION TIME!!!

Well here she is my fantastic girl!

It was Blackpool Championship Show this weekend I had been stewarding on the friday and saturday but on the sunday was pastoral day and I had entered Deepha.
On the way to the show a black cat crossed my path and I thought well we won't do very well today as these sort of things have the opposite effect what should be lucky is normally unlucky but not today deepha won Best of Breed and then to my utter amazement and still disbelief she won the Pastoral group, what a shock ! I still can't believe it.
Last wednesday we went to Cheshire show and she won best of breed there.
Oh I am so proud of her.

What you got there dad?

That smells good, where's it comming from?

I know there's somthing in there!

Not been doing much lately weather not been to great and working hard.
I took Deepha to Southern Counties last Sunday, started out on our journey at 3.50 am, roads were quite and the weather was dry till we approached Birmingham then the heavens opened.
The rain continued chucking it down till I was getting near to the A34 the the sky seemed to start clearing and in patches over the day the sun came out and was quite warm.
It was a very long day for both of us we were the last in the ring.
The judging started at 10 am Briards were first in the ring, then our judge started at approx 12.30 pm the Tervueren were judged first there was a few absent, then the Groenendael followed by the Laekenois and we ended up in the ring at about 4.00pm Deepha won her class and got BOB.
After I had packed up said my goodbye's and started home at approx 5 pm.
The weather was still dry but there was a few more cars on the road after stopping once at Keele so we all could have a call of nature and I had a sleep for an hour, we arrived home at approx 10pm (knackered) and still knackered the next day.
I must be mad!!
Anyway no more shows for a couple of weeks so I can get some energy back to start again.

John and Deepha (What u got Dad)

Took Kobra training on Friday very pleased with him, he seems to be improving slowly, there's no rush.

I went to Westmorland Canine Association to help steward for there Open show, they gave me the toy ring, guess what! it was the biggest amount of classes and the biggest entry, and they wanted me to show a new commer the ropes, so I thought what the heck I was there once.

The judge I was stewarding for was very nice very patient and a lovely lady to boot.

When we had finished all the judging the judge gave me a present and thanks for stewarding for her that's got to be a first in my book it was a lovely thought.

Deepha and I are at Southern Counties next Sunday, If your going I will see you there.

Just some pictures of Kobra and Deepha which I took on my new phone.
