We had a good day at Manchester on Friday, in Tervuerens, Scarlet won the puppy bitch class and Coral was 2nd, so was Adonis in puppy dog. Barney won the post grad class in AVNSC and then went on to res best dog, Ghia won the junior class in AVNSC and Rare breeds and then Gaby was 3rd in post grad but was only beaten by males so then went on to res best bitch AVNSC, she then had a 1st in post grad Rare breeds and best bitch. It was nice to have a day out for a change, its even better when you win something.

Saturday night Saphy had her babies, 8 of them, not sure where she hid them as she was not very big at all. After the initial shock and a big squeal one popped out on the floor, she looked at it in amazement then decided that maybe it did belong to her after all. The rest followed very quickly, she had them all in just over 2 hours, thankfully they are all big and strong. She is being a wonderful mom to them at the moment and pictures will be on the web site soon

At last we have snow, even if it is only a inch or so at least there was enough for Kai to make his first snowman.

The dogs also had a great time playing in it, alot of them being the first time they have seen snow. For a short moment there Lina thought she was back home in Norway.

Am I glad christmas is out of the way, shopping with every spare moment and then what happens, a week before christmas every one comes down with this horrid bug that seems to have affected every body else in the country. Me and callum had it the worst, with it lasting almost 3 weeks before we were completly well.So most of christmas was ruined with everyone drinking lemsips instead of beer and not wanting to eat anything. Still we must keep smiling? It will be nice to now get back into a routine.
Anyway today made up for it a little bit when we went to Worcestor & Malvern open show and had a fantastic day with results as follows,
In Tervueren, Belsharose Chianti (Scarlet) won 1st in Junior D/B and then went on to Best Puppy and Reserve Best of Breed, Belsharose Chardonnay (Coral) had 2nd in Junior D/B, Belsharose Cote Du Rhone (Adonis) had 2nd in Post Graduate D/B. Then onto Groenendaels where Belsharose Masacio (Barney) had 1st in Post Graduate D/B and then had Best of Breed. Finally the 2 Laekenois were both 1st in AVNSC Junior D/B and Post Graduate D/B with Ghiana D'Eroudur at Belsharose (Ghia) had Best AVNSC, and then Gabrielle D'Eroudur avec Belsharose (Gaby) getting a 2nd in Rare Breeds Post Graduate D/B. And they all showed fantastic so we had a lovely day but i am now shattered so i think its time for bed.
