The Talraz Beardies turned out in force for this Open show, and thoroughly enjoyed their day.

Ms. J. Fryer-Clark judged Bearded Collies, and our houseguest Tully, with handler for the day Christine, headed the puppy class - well done young man - and well done Christine too, we'll make a handler of you yet!  Beattie, behaving beautifully on this her first ever show outing, came in second to her (half) brother, and Roxy was not disgraced to stand third.

Cawley won the Post-Graduate class and Diva the Open, plus Best of Breed - pushed hard by young Tully, who took Reserve Best of Breed and was well-complimented by our judge.

Later, in the Group judging, Diva took third place in the adults, and Tully second in the Puppy Group, under Mrs Patsy Hollings (Gunalt)

The rest of today's team - left to right (back row) BEATTIE and ROXY and (front row) DIVA and CAWLEY

Madge stayed at home this time - and to her utter satisfaction had "first go" at the latest juicy bones, but of course our little star Tully eventually did have his due reward!
