National Gundog today - Best of Breed was Tarward Theia - homebred and owned by Joanne Robinson. I believe this is her 2nd CC, so congratualtions and good luck for her 3rd, Joanne! And DCC went to Patouche Acropole owned by Bill Molton, congrats there too, Bill. Results not online yet so not sure of the reserves - I think it was Janette's Pretty Pachanga for RCC in bitches, congratulations Nettie! _________________ Annie

Dog CC was in fact Jayne Cutler's Jayricnbrits Briafel not Patouche Acropole.
RDCC was Alithea Lockie's Tournesol Braconnier. _________________ Jan

Sorry, misheard the person who told me - that was limit dog that Bill won, rest were with-held in that class. _________________ Annie

There were four dogs in limit dog, Bill Moulton's dog Patouche Acropole was given first. No further dogs were selected. No public reason was given for not placing any further dog. _________________ Guy, Ellie, Topaz, Catja and in memory Barley

He's done that before - not quite sure when but I remember hearing about it. I've only shown Flash under him and had RCC both times, but I can't recall it being wt either of those. Maybe it was Crufts? _________________ Annie

Sorry if you misheard me Anne, I meant Bill's dog was first in his class and in fact the only one placed in that class. I do not think judge gave an explanation at the time but may well have done so after judging had finished. As I said to you, I really cannot see the difference between with-holding and eliminating - in either case the dog goes home with nothing!
Well done to Joanne's Theia and to Jayne's Briafael both of whom earned their second CCs today. _________________ If your dog thinks you are the best do not seek a second opinion!
Incidentally, this was the first Championship Show I have attended where no passes were issued. As far as I could see, no checks were made on dogs either entering or leaving the showground. If someone removed an unattended dog from a bench they would have every chance of taking it outside and out of the area. Also I think it would have been quite easy to take an unentered dog into the show.
If you did not purchase a catalogue you had to find your bench number by looking at a list posted on the wall of the sheds where the benching was situated. This was not in very large print - had to find my glasses to read it.
This is probably how things will go in the future - but not sure that it is desirable. _________________ If your dog thinks you are the best do not seek a second opinion!
It sounds like total chaos all round...As you say Gay, no difference in between eliminating and withholding Comes to the same thing: At least in France they tell you why. Hope this will be explained in the critique???
