Thank you for all the 'well dones' and thanks Elle. I am pleased with her but...
Well going to be honest so, when we phoned you Ali we were totaly confused I even went back in to check Ilka had won the answer was yes but I think she won by default we did not enter for AVNSC puupy because there was no class of it to enter we just got called in to the ring while another class was going on hence we got so totaly confused...........BUT.................keep reading........
The judge really liked her allot and she would have won Junior AVNSC as well if the judge could have got his hands on her he really wanted to, there were only two in the class so he had time to try and get her used to him he got me to take her up and down and go behind him at least 4 or 5 times and I don't think he would have done that if he did not like her so much, so she got a second and he said he liked her, though he really should probably have disqualifed us or something.
Also I don't think we would have been called back in for best puppy so I think the Judge wanted to give us a chance.
Then there was a wait for group puppy so wondered around sat in the car getting more and more confused, the sedual made no sence, but in the end used comen sence and decided we were ment to be going in group puupy and we missed out going in AV puppy cos she would have been beaten and that would mean we could not go in to group.
Also we had a chat to some people with a pointer (pointer was very nice but a bit borring compared to Ilka, well most of the dogs there were) Ilka said hello to them she was only funny with them to start with then was jumping up at them and relaxed (lay flat out on the ground) they also thought she would have won junior if the judge could have touched her and they said she moved well when she went and they thought she looked like she was from a top breeder with out us saying she was which was nice to hear.
Then went in to group puppy didn't get any thing but she would have been well placed if the judge had been able to go over her, he didn't even try that time, I think she would have been better than in the junior class but I can't blame him at all for not wanting to mess about as he had been judging all day, at the end he said some thing like 'it will be nice when she's used to people', it was not even like I was making her nervous cos I was quite relaxed, it's just a bit fusstrating knowing she can do well but she's just silly. Though I would never want any other dog and I think it's better having a dog that will improve (she is but slowly) than one thats got faults and would never do well.
Thanks again
