I cannot beleave Rips is now 6 months old, how time has flown. She is from slow developing lines so a case of wait and see, but so far she is doing well. May 1st and decided to take her and Storm to Ardingly for the south of england show. Met up with two of her brothers there and it was great to see them both,

Had entered Rips in Puppy class, 6 entered and i was thrilled she came away with a 3rd ( still dont stand still) Storm was in Open class, along with three other lovely dogs, her first outing since the pups and i was pleased when she got a respectable 2nd.

Thursday 5th May and off to the National championship show we went, Leffey and Rips this time. Rips was in MPB, we arrived far far to late and i was very lucky to be allowed in the ring as judge had gone over the other dogs. Rips was a star and took it all in her stride, 6 entered and i was thrilled when our judge awarded her the 3rd YIPEE Crufts qualified at first attempt. Unfortunatley Leffey was not to the judges taste today, but maybe next time.
