Gwinear Companion Dog Show

Yesterday Jem and I went along to Gwinear Agricultural Show at Connor Downs, Cornwall.

The show was full of dogs & horses, (my loves in life) along with domestic and craft tents and food including a hog roast (food is also another love in my life!).

Its a great place to bring your dog for socialising, there is so much to see...bouncy castles, horses, carriages, lots of people & other dogs etc.

Though the dog show started on time it took so long to get through the pedigree classes.  Claire Bulter the judge seemed very nice, I heard alot of comments from mum's with children entering the show that she was very supportive and helpful to their children, giving them great confidence in handling their four legged friends.

Funniest part of the show was in the child handler class where dogs really misbehaved, a couple wriggled out of their collars leaving the poor kids holding an empty lead in the middle of the ring.  Dogs are the best!

I was really pleased that Jem clinched 4th in Best Condition Bitch, out of a very strong field.  She also won two 1st one in Fastest Bonio Eater (no surprise for a hungry Labrador!) & the other in Best Trick.  Happy Days!

The show in all was very dog friendly, it was mostly a family atmosphere with dogs being the centre of attention!  The crowd was very supportive to all in the show.  Most of all the dogs looked in great condition and like they really enjoyed themselves.
