Portland Shows


Three shows at Portland and I get 3 Best of Breeds. This takes me to 54 points, over halfway to a Champion. Pic shows me being prepared for the Sunday show.
We are in the caravan again, where I have a big run at the back and I can get into the annex and the van. KNK get upset if I run outside and then jump up on the beds and leave muddy footprints, but when you are halfway to a champion, you can get away with murder.

No Harm Done


After the dog shows I went to the coast for a paddle in the sea, a romp on the beach and a play with this big Bernese Mountain Dog. He had a Pyrenean Mountain Dog as a friend and we all played together. It just goes to show it not how big you are, its how you behave that counts.
Beachport was much more enjoyable than Tailem Bend.

36 Points


36% of a Champion after 3 Best of Breed awards at the Millicent shows. It was hot again, but fortunately my cool coat is working very well, keeping me very comfortable all day.
The trip down here was a bit of a horror story. We stopped in Tailem Bend for a break. I was on my lead and while Keith was getting a poo bag out of the car a Staffy Cross beast attacked me. Keith grabbed it by the tail and pulled it back but it slipped through his hand and attacked me again. This time Keith grabbed its leg and pulled it away, but it wriggled free and came at me for a third time. Keith swung me up over his shoulder and kicked the vicious brute away. The owner of this public menace then ran up, grabbed the Hell Hound and dragged it away. He did apologise, but that was too late. His wife and two children were there too, it must be only a matter of time before the vicious mad dog attacks one of the kids. Fortunately for me Keith did stop the crazed killer from actually contacting, but it did frighten me.
Anyway, after Keith changed his shirt because it got wet during the attacks, we were on our way to another 18 Point week end.
