Bon Accord's first open show of the year was held on a very icy January 12th at the new venue, Thainstone. With very large car parks there was no problem finding a space but great care had to be taken getting to the hall as the whole area was like a skating rink! Not so easy whilst carrying show gear and holding onto a couple of large dogs.
It is a good venue, with great food available, but suffered from being rather cramped around the rings. Perhaps next January a few alterations could be made to improve the situation.
There were some successes for club members, please let me know of any I have missed.
Terriers - Karen's Ceilidh was BOB & G3
Hounds - Joan's Maddie was BOB, G2 and best hound veteran. Nicky's Alfie was BOB and G4.
Working - Joanne's Walter was BOB (must have been down to Mark's expertise as a handler).
Gundogs - Jennifer's Riley won his class and Elizabeth's Bronni won hers. Lynne's Luigi was best nsc.
Toys - Sue's Louis was best toy veteran and best veteran in show.
Sorry, I didn't have my camera handy so not many photos to post.
