Left to right: Lola, Beattie, Ruby and Creaglion

We left our village under a blanket of snow with some trepidation, but needn't have worried as after less than half an hour's driving there was hardly a flake to be seen, and we had a smooth journey down to Birmingham, where the three girls met up with Creaglion for a day's showing under judge Frank Kane

They all enjoyed themselves, and were all placed in their classes.  We were pleased with Beattie's second in Post-Graduate, and Creaglion's second in Limit, both in good company - and absolutely delighted when Lola, the least experienced in the team, not only won her strong Graduate class, but was also shortlisted for Best Bitch at the end of the show - as her proud owner remarked on our return home: "Not bad for a PET!!!"
