Joan of Arc

I heard from an exhibitor there that one judge was reluctant to judge a specific breed....apparently that breed is not accepted in thier home country.... I have also heard that several breeds from different groups have had NIL awards handed out, including some mulitiple BIS winners and a couple of Gr Chs....

I can't comment on other states but I can tell you that in NSW there are also allownaces made for those who need walkers or motorised scooters....

A nice big brag for my rising star - we both went to our first Royal this week and she came home with Puppy of Breed, BCC and RUBOB and made the final four for Puppy in Group.... Love that baby girl....

We had a great time watching all the events and sending SWAY results ... just havent mastered the camera bit on the new phone yet so obviuosly someone else did that.... Oviously she had lots of on the spot spies on the job...

Oh dear, you aren't instilling me with confidence for Friday Congrats on Finns win I'll be there Friday with hand helpful OH so if you need help yell out... well not literally but you could text me...

I'm looking to the Westie results....

Thanks CD....

Thanks quizzed. My memory wasnt all engaged when I posted that... maybe I'm just having more senior moments...

I think Morsha also took Bcc and BOB with her Aust Bred / Open (not sure which class) Bitch

Thank you SWAY... and congratulations to Morsha.... looks like a good day for the Morsha crew.....

: : I really really want to know JS results as well I dont think any one volunteered to do JS results for Sway....

Jap Spitz :coffee:

She's an Irish Setter. ;) She belongs to a friend of mine and is simply stunning. I'm another one that loves seeing all the results. Well done to the Bracco. I've never even seen one shown here in Brisbane since I've been showing. I would love to meet one in person one day. :D OOOPPPS sorry - I was really only working from memory and thought it was an English.... so apologies...

My Rosie is growing up so fast... 10 months now and she has been wonderful in the ring... and also at home... we are off to Melb this week to the Royal = our first....Today she went BOB and Puppy in Group - I am so proud of her....:D

Well we are going to the Royal for the first time this year and these stories do very little to boost my confidence in my well laid plans....an acquaintance that has done the Royal for many many years has organised parking for us.... I am going to try and be there early because as those of you who know me can attest, I hate being late and then feeling rushed... I'm a bit anal about planning.... I also agree with Morscha.... if and its a big IF, I get there and there are issues with parking etc. then I will write a letter outlining what could be done better and in what fashion. As a past club secretary I can tell you that it was always nice to complemented when our club got things right...and as they say 'you catch more flies with honey' so rather than ripping it up secretaries, if exhibitors only approached them with something like diplomacy and made nice subtle suggestions.... well enough said. Good luck to all those showing over the next couple of days.... I have several friends with different breeds so will get a report on the parking etc each day from them....

I bought a great suit at the Yass show this year... .live in the jacket and swap pants over with two other pairs.... so I would love another jacket, same style but different colour/s. I'm pretty certain it was an 18W. Trouble is I just cant remember who the people were that were selling the suits.... anyone able to give me thier contact details?

X2

What a great result I'm another one who likes seeing all the show results in one thread I totally agree and think that this thread is now operating in the fashion that the op intended.

I can do clumbers for you... we are on the day before GS

Junee Kennel Club BIG Grp 3 today Am Cocker (Hopkins/Missen) RUBIG English Setter Yesterday was the English Setter and RUBIG Pointer Puppy in Group was a Krikka Knls Pointer both Friday and Saturday Friday if I remember correctly was English Setter and RUBIG the Gordon O'Donells's minor Lab bitch went Minor in Show on Sat and didnt get a look in in group today That's all I can remember

Thanks guys Told you they were dumb questions but I just need to have it all set in my head.... Rebanne I think we will have a nice contingent of clumbers this year so we might get to stay put....

OK so now I am going to show my complete ignorance. This is our first Royal... now I have parking organised, and am entering at gate 7. It appears that the clumbers are going to be in Block F, so that is where we are benched - Correct? So if that is the case, where are we showing? Is it near F Block? Inside / Outside? Is there a loud speaker system or how do we know when we are beinbg called if we are spread all over the place? Dumb questions I know but I am pretty anal when it comes to making sure I know exactly what I am doing... and am not happy until I can 'see' each step in my mind.
