We had so much fun at the Bath show this year, and after two hot, sunny years in a row, it will be losing it's reputation as the Mud Bath show at this rate. It was my first champ show of the year and a classic example of why I often love going to them. Great weather, lots of dogs, lots of great folk, a chance to catch up with people you just don't get to see often enough. Brilliant.
And, to top off an already great day, Keskiyö won Best Opposite Sex to his Best of Breed half-sister, Penikka. That was a thrilling result for us after Keskiyö 's long absence from the show ring. But the absolute best part was Penikka's owner, Carol's face when she realised. Priceless. I guess it made the detour from her Cornwall holiday all worthwhile.
You may be surprised to learn that I remembered to take the camera when I left for the show in the small hours of Sunday morning. I'm fairly confident you won't be surprised to learn that it remained locked in the car glove box while we were at the show. However, doesn't Paula's iPhone take good photos:
That's Inko on the left and her doppelganger sister Sulo, aka Kaija, on the right. It was Kaija's 2nd annual single show entry and she placed 2nd in a large postgraduate bitch class. Another great result, another youngster qualified for Crufts at the first attempt, and another quite amusing shocked-owner face courtesy of Jane.
Others of the Infindigo clan also placed: Taito was 2nd, Inko 3rd and Keksi VHC in their classes, and Keskiyö's son Ripa (from Neka's sister Suvi), bagged a Reserve in his class. Full results are on the Higham Press site.
While we were at the show, Maija stayed at her home-away-from-home with Taika & Minna. Since we had to pop in to drop her off and pick her up again, I did - by some miracle in all the mayhem - remember to nab a couple of pics of Minna. I was hoping to get to see Kesä as well while we were in the neighbourhood. However, getting away from the show quite late put paid to that, so I'll have to go begging for updates tomorrow.
Check back then for 11 week old photos of them all.
