ELKS Open show

We popped along to a little open show close to us, and darryl did another days stewarding which is required for judging.  In fact I think he may of completed his stewarding now. I have to go through all the paper work for him.  

At the show we were extremely proud as in the puppy group at the end of the day TWO silvestres presented in group and TWO GOT IN THE GROUP!!!!  Thats not often you see this. It's quite an achievement to see two different breeds both pulled out in a group to be best puppies in show. 

First was Dalton and in his breed class he won:
1st puppy class.  Best puppy in breed, then Puppy group 1.

His sister Maeve was also in puppy class and was 3rd behind him.  I then took her home and she had a fabulous time.

Nova was presented in the Vizsla breed ring, and was 1st Puppy, Best puppy, then she went into the group and was 4th in group.

So what does all this mean you may ask if you have never done it before.

The best puppy of each breed goes against each other later in the day, and it's called the Group ring. 
So best Labrador, best retriever, best cocker and so on.  It's a big group.  The best in show judge then goes over each one, and pulls out 1st to 4th, and the rest go home.  The first place then goes against another category.  So the first in Gundog group which was Dalton, went against then the best toy group, best utility group and so on.  He did not get pulled out at this stage, but what an awesome day and it's a high achievement to say we bred the best Gundog puppy in show today. 

Nova was group 4, so she was 4th best Gundog puppy in the show.  This was Novas last puppy show.  Because she is going to be 1 years old in August.  She then goes into Junior classes. 

Roxa was present and got RBOB in Vizsla.   She looked absolutely love.
