Another trip out  for young Blaze today, but disappointingly only one other Beardie turned up at this show for breed specialist judge Mrs Claire Platts (Camberwick) - nice to have your company Marilyn!

Anyway Blaze won through to Best of Breed and after a short wait went outside into the spring sunshine for the Pastoral Group, which cheered him up immensely, and he managed a respectable Group 3 under judge Mrs Thelma Cooke-Lowe.

He ended the day tired and rather bored and hot, but is happy to be home now and enjoying the flirting with all the in-season girls. Tomorrow he gets a day off and can have a really good run to let off steam after a dull couple of days!
