Today I went to Large Breed Dog Rescue Annual Fun Day, where there was lots going on such as a Fun Dog Show, Charity & Welfare Stands, Raffles & Tombola's and lots of yummy food stands. I was over the moon when my human told me we were going to a dog show and I was going to take part. I had never been to one before, and I was excited to meet new dogs and show off my skills.
Best of all my cousin Sky was coming along too!
We have been working on my listing skills whilst at puppy class and my human is hoping I will listen whilst at the dog show. We practiced walking on a lead and standing still, sitting nicely and giving paw. She also took great care in grooming me, making sure my coat was silky smooth and shiny and no eye boogers!
As we arrived at the show, I couldn't help but marvel at all the different breeds and sizes of dogs milling around. Big dogs, small dogs, fluffy dogs, and sleek dogs. It was amazing!
There was lots of yummy smells and I sure had to taste a sample from every stall, made sure to help myself to a few which mummy then had to pay for! We came home with some yummy treats for at a later date and to share with Phoebe and Prue.
The first class I took part in was Best Puppy under 6 months, and I watched intently as other dogs demonstrated their skills. I tried my best to show off my good behavior, but I was still quite young and more curious about the other dogs around me.
Next, me and Sky both took part in Prettiest Bitch and neither of us won! :(
The 3rd Class we took part in was Dog/Bitch most like its Owner and we come 4th :)
As we left the show, I felt contentedly curled up in my owner's lap, with two shiny new rosette pinned to my collar. I couldn't wait to go to more dog shows and make new friends. It was an exhilarating experience, and I was grateful to have had the chance to show off my skills and win an award.
Can't Wait for Paws in the Park in a few weeks and hopefully I will get some more rosettes!
Bark Soon
