πΎA very belated post on the dog shows we went to...As usual life took over & I just didn't get around to posting how the girls did! All 3 did me proud as usual, we entered Solid Colour Cocker Spaniel Championship show & the Cocker Club Championship Show with all 3, the latter only 2 went as Molly came into season so had to stay home.
Dolcie (Classicway Curtain Call For Oakrosa) won 2nd at Solid Colour in MPB & then 2nd at the Cocker Club in MPB behind a lovely black puppy who had came all the way from France to compete.
Betsy (Classicway Crystal Bell For Oakrosa) won 3rd at Solid Colour in PB & 3rd at the Cocker Club in PB, she was very cheeky but relaxed into showing even just after her 1st show!
Both these girls qualified for Crufts 2024 at their 1st outing & showed their socks off...all you can ask from minor puppies who just want to have fun π₯°
Molly (Oakrosa Bellisima) won 4th in her class at Solid Colour & is now a proud mummy to some beautiful puppies π
As I took photos throughout the prep stage, I will post them so everyone can see how the hairy monsters turned into presentable show dogs! As I had left them knot-free but untrimmed for a while, the grooming was undertaken over a few weeks, little bits done here & there to fit into life & not to make the grooming experience unpleasant for the girls...although most of the time they just had a snooze π€πΎ
