It was typical Bank Holiday weekend weather for our trip up to Scotland, cold, showery, and with a blustery wind that lifted the dogs' coats and made them snuffle the breeze happily - no complaints from them!

Madge and Roxy behaved well and took third and fifth respectively in their Junior Bitch class under judge of the day Mrs Joy Crowther

We also now have another Crufts-qualifying Blaze puppy, as Robbie (Talraz Silver Blaze) put in an appearance, and swaggered and bounced his way to third place in Junior Dog, one to watch out for when he settles down.  It seemed to be a close decision between him and litter brother Tully, who took second place, but Tully's slight edge in ring experience probably saved the day, as he stood calm and composed for handler Liz when asked, and moved in an equally well-mannered fashion - a very easy dog to show!

Eight of Blaze's offspring are now qualified for Crufts - basically all of the ones which have been shown - well done you lot, we are so proud of you.  Long may your winning ways continue to bring pleasure to your lucky owners!!

Thanks to Lyn A for this nice photo of Madge in her class - showing the strong family resemblance between Madge and her litter brother Tully!
