Non-Championship Show Sunday 6 May – Report
May 22nd, 2007
The day dawned bright, chilly but fine and sunny so we were blessed with the weather! Our open show venue proved excellent – with clean, well-mown surfaces and access to very nice clubhouse and cloakrooms.
Entries came in steadily and we received a respectable total of 42 entrants. Particularly gratifying was seeing the few “first-time” exhibitors – puppies and owners alike – who came along and tried their hand at this wonderful sport. One of these First Timers went on to triumph as the Best Short-Legged Terrier in Show and walked off with the Ruth Howison Trophy for this achievement – not a bad start to a new show career!
Our judge, Mrs Stephanette du Toit, did a thoroughly professional job for us and gave Best in Show to the young Bullie bitch, Anmor Lunar Pearl of Sunraige owned by Juan Slabbert. A Staffie puppy bitch owned and bred by Jumarie Knoetzen, Jumarcha Lady Luca, came second, with Ms Cynthia Barnett’s junior Airedale bitch, Albenor Casino Girl in third place. Fourth position went to the young Scottie dog, Angus, owned and shown for the first time by Rudolph du Plessis. Well done to one and all!
Excellent catering provided by the Girl Guides was available and a most pleasant day was shared by all who attended.
