Well.. we got dumped. 2 open dogs and us we lost.. And the senior bitch puppy took best puppy in breed. Cocker people weren't mean this time. They just mainly ignored me. Except one lady who told me Smudge seems to move with a roached back. Lovely. I'm praying it's a nasty growth spurt as he just turned 6 months this week.. and he wasn't like this a few weeks ago..
Fun match went better. Sadly took group one by default.. Every fun match I've ever been to has had 15-30 dogs in group one, and a small number in the other groups.. till today. Every other group had a much larger turn out. Got 6/7 in BIS..
Idiot me I guess I should be lucky to have gotten 6/7 in BIS as I was talking to the ring steward from this morning about it when the show was over.. and then he ended up judging BIS he hadn't been judging the groups..... He might not have fully noticed otherwise.. Praying it's just a growth phase. Not sure how all you breeders go through all this nerve wracking dog stuff, growth, showing, testing, whelping.. to do it all over again
