I have had my e mail locked by yahoo as someone has tried to get into my e mail and I changed the password yesterday so if anyone e mail me in the next 24 hours I can't answer you, I don't know whats going on but someone is playing silly buggers and I don't like it. So sorry I am not ignoring anyone just can't get to it.
Sophie I think for a first attempt you and Charlie should be very pleased with yourselves, all in all that's was good and great for Ilka's socialisation, you know the judge may not of realised what Ilka was, I went to an Exemption show years ago on Exmoor when Tarka was a puppy, they were so excited as the organisers had an open show judge from up country to judge!!!!!!! When I took Tarka in he told me I was in the wrong class she should be in the crossbreed class!!! I didn't say a word I took her out and instead I put my Border Collie in the Crossbreed class, she was a pedigree but had a thyroid problem and was bald, I told him she was a collie cross Mexican Hairless, she won the class and went on to win BIS!!!! was that naughty? ;-)
