The Corgis were in the ring today! 132 dogs and bitches starting at 9am. It was after 2pm before we got to best of breed, a very nice tri bitch, CH Craigycor Irish Luck at Meitza who came out of the Open Bitch class, also winning the bitch cc today. The dog cc winner was Highworth Cut the Mustard for Twinan, out of the Limit Dog class. He is a good size handsome red and white boy with a manly tail! The judge was Mrs Diane King of Bymil Kennels. It gets to the point that you're not SSOOOO amazed by all the tails after awhile, but it does indeed change the look of the dog. When they're on the move most of them carry their tails high, so the tail-set is quite different than we're used to in the US. We sat next to 2 very nice breeders from Holland, Hanne Sigtermans-Brugman and Yvonne Gouweleeuw-v.Mierio who gave us the European point of view throughout as well as many wonderful personal experiences. We did a bit of shopping afterward to pick up some things we'd seen yesterday and hung out at the ProPlan booth that serves free coffee and provides tables where you can sit down for the opportunity to talk to you regarding their products. Then it was time to head back to the bus stop- pooped again...
The day was bright and sunny, but quite cold. Hopefully we won't see any of the snow they're experiencing in Scotland and northern England. Tomorrow we plan to view dog activities in the big arena- agility, obedience and heel-work to music.
