the show must not go on

So Inko went off with Paula to their first show yesterday. Paula has been brave enough to go into the ring once before with someone else's dog, so she wasn't a complete novice. However, once your own puppy makes a fool of you in the show ring enough times, you do become a bit more nervous.

On this occasion, Inko had her ups and downs, apparently. You can get the full lowdown on her blog, but the big news is that she came 2nd in AVNSC Puppy. The puppy who beat her went on to get BPIS. What a fantastic start to her show career! And now Paula has the first of what I am sure will be an enormous collection of rosettes.

As for Tarkka's first show in Wadebridge, Cornwall, it was cancelled due to - you guessed it - the weather. Several judges couldn't make it down from wherever they were coming from. Although things look quite civilised here today and as if it might rain, the yucky stuff is forecast for Bodmin Moor. You can't get to Wadebridge without dealing with the Moor.

So for more puppy show news, watch this space.
