Ilka

Thanks for putting that up Sophie. Ilka did really well and you must feel very proud. I'd love to have a go at doing something like that with Maggie but neither her or I would know what to do and I fear Maggie would run riot! She did once bring a pheasant back to me though I'm not sure how she got it. I don't think she killed it as there were no marks on it at all and after she dropped it at my feet looking very pleased with herself she spent 10 mins spitting the feathers out of her mouth so not sure she would do it again. You are bound to get a few spats between dogs I think when you meet a bunch of them and Ilka seemed to handle herself well with the dogs she didn't like. Having lots of men around her patting her will do her the world of good and like you say great socialisation. Well done.
