Christmas Time
The best thing under the tree is a Border Collie, and Tosca had her spot all picked out.
If we have to wear those stupid paper hats the dogs can all get dressed for Christmas as well.
There is no predudice in our home and there are several different breeds in our family, this is Ace the Husky.
Of course there is a chocolate Labradour as well, everyone loves chocolate.
And old Cooper might run the yard but even he has to put his hat on.
Ace enjoys time with his mum.
Let's just hang here quietly Cooper before we have to do the dishes.

"A big day for me & I came third, a great effort.
Special thanks to Mark, my handler, who does such a good job, & to Gail for the help with my grooming (not too happy getting my feet done)"
|
"Sketch" at the Royal
Here we are the big Royal. Thanks Gail for trimming my feet & helping to groom me, even though I was sooooo naughty.
I'm flying and I don't break gait anymore.
Mark has those treats somewhere.
Waiting for the judge to "handle" me again I hope she has warm hands.
Thanks Mark I have no idea where my feet are supposed to be yet !
Does all my practice show?
Looking good....
I wonder if my mum is over there in the crowd watching?
|
Camden Show
Here we are at the show again !!
Not taking my eyes off Mark I know he hides the treats somewhere!
This was puppy of breed and although my legs just don't seem to co-ordinate yet, I won WOOHOO!
Out done in puppy in group by a Pembroke Corgi, the shame of it.
