Best in Show Day!!

Mum had a great day at Best in show Day at Sydney Royal.  All of her old mates were there and it was a beautiful sunny day. It always seem to rain on Best in show day but not this year. For people that don't like dog shows it would be pretty boring I guess so I thought I'd just show you some photos Mum took and not rave on too much about the day. I guess when you've seen Westminster or Crufts, little old Sydney Royal, is a bit of a non event but not to Mum. She LOVED it!!

Whoops the pictures got downloaded out of order so they are a bit all over the place but you'll get the message, I'm sure. See if you can guess the winner from the final seven.

One of the final seven. Best in non-sporting group! Cute, aye Ali?

Another one .... Best in Gin (Haaaahaaaa too funny Mum) GUN dogs

Best in Utility

Best in hound group. The whippet was cheated!!!!

Best in working dog group.

One of the breeders group entries. Not one of those blokes had eyes to match yours Zoe!

Crikey Zaidie .... just cause you got a lear jet you think you can sneak in anywhere, aye mate?

Best in toy group. I feel soooooo sorry for this bloke. He must NEVER get to have fun. I can just hear his Mum .... don't do this, don't do that! keep away from the mud - snow - sand- grass- roo poop- dead stuff ..... crikey the list would go on and on.

Best in breeders group. They were brilliant and thoroughly deserved to win although Mum did like the foxie group.

See me lined up there right in front.

Well it sure looked like me. Even fooled Mum for a second. She knew I was with Dad somewhere but she did do a double take. Still think this bloke was robbed. He looked pretty good to me. He was in the puppy class. Crikey he was well behaved. Who knew we whippet blokes could be THAT good!!

Another one of the seven. Best in terrier group.  What do you think, Mr JF Sir?  Pretty cute, aye??

         Ok ... time to guess. You've got the seven now. Who won??

AND THE RUNNER UP IS .... The toy poodle!!!

This bloke should have won.     Look...  perfect size and shaped schnoz ... perfect proportioned body and legs and perfectly groomed. What more could you want??

AND THE WINNER IS ... the Bull mastiff!  Who would have picked that?  Well the Italian judge for one! I'd have given it to the Borzoi or the Jack Russell myself.

This little Italian greyhound won the Best Puppy in show. Mum says you should have seen him walk. His little feet hardly touched the ground. Very cute little bloke, aye??

Always Mum's favourites .... the foxies, wire, smooth, Jacks if they have anything to do with the foxies she loves 'em. This bloke looks pretty good to me. Why didn't HE win?

This could have been our Lucy. She looks sooooooo much like her. Naturally Mum burst into tears when she walked out. She still can't look at a wire without the tears appearing!!

How good did these blokes look??

Ok ... that's it for Sydney Royal. Sorry to have inflicted that on you but I've got to give Mum some slack, I s'pose. I had a great day with Dad. Mum was amazed when she got back and found I was still alive. She didn't think Dad was capable of looking after me by himself. Thought I'd go flying right out there over a cliff or get stuck into some roos or something. No such luck but we did manage to have a good day. Hope you all had a great Easter!!

Wanna run ... love, Charlie.
