A good day at Crufts 2016

AlisonF · Mar 11, 2016

Our first trip in the Cali and my first ever Crufts.
Both a success to date. We're loving the Cali and my bitch won her (large) class at only her 3rd ever show in a group of mainly older and more experienced dogs and handlers - her first win and at Crufts. Unbelievable.
Now enjoying a post win vino from the lovely cold fridge with the aux heater on one dog asleep on the bench and the other on top of me on the fluffy vet bed on the floor (thanks for the tip Maud) and the electric blanket switched on and waiting.
Now why didn't I do this earlier...

Great news Alison

Well done. Congratulations.

I had the pleasure of watching my wife and Dog, Maddie, do a clear round in their first medium team agility finals - the team came second! Great result. Wine finished already, Cali still waiting to be built...

Congratulations Alison and Ellie! I had just been looking through the fossedata results and spotted Kymin Over the Rainbow had won her class and thought, that must be Alison! What a great day for you both, and made even better by having the Cali to go back to.

These are Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers. The pick is of the Kymin family. My lady is on the right not looking at the camera as one of the other owners had her beloved tennis ball from agility training and she was NOT going to lose it!
