    Harley and me are off to a doggie fun day & show. Depending on how she behaves when we get there, I might enter her into a few of the categories. Will let you know how we get on later :)

    Just got back home. At first Harley was extremely 'hyper' and wanted to play with every dog we seen, but after 10-15 mins she calmed down. We watched 'most handsome dog' and she was really calm during that, so entered her into the next group 'prettiest bitch'.

    This is us waiting in the ring for the judge to walk around (over 40 dogs in this category)

    Harley came 5th and won a rosette :) she did so well seeing as though we were sitting waiting for the judge to see all the dogs which took about 15-20 mins, then big dogs walked around the ring, then the small dogs, then top 8 were chosen and went to the centre of the ring, then another 5 min wait whilst the judge made his decision. Nearly the whole time she sat nicely and was calm (only once did she react - she spotted hubby in the crowd ;) )

    She’s doing well to cope with all those distractions. Obviously she had a great trainer (YOU)

    Hooray! Congrats Harley!

    As you probably guessed we didn't go! Had to spend the day on the house and garden as it's barren horribly neglected the last couple of weeks lol

    Re: Doggie fun day

    Thank you all. I think she was the prettiest bitch too Stacia :) but I am biased :) the judge did she she was a beautiful but unusual colour for a red fox, and that she was in fantastic condition :) made me proud as I always question myself as to whether or not I'm doing the right things with her - especially as I've never had a dog before. It was a fantastic hour and a half. Next fun day us in September in Blaise castle, Bristol, if anyone is interested??

    Sunday 7th September - 11am-4pm, judging etc starts at 12pm. I will probably get there around 11.30am and possibly go into the woods for half hour or so for Harley to run off some energy :)
