Gorgeous George takes the Dog CC at Blackpool! Way to go George and Mr & Mrs Thug.

Sorry lankeela, sounds good but what's the Dog CC - Class Champion?

[thugulike]

Thank you (blushing modestly). Boxtops, George won his class then went up against all the other dog class winners. Winning the line-up got him his second Challenge Certificate. He needs 3 from different judges to have the prefix 'Champion' before his name. Lankeela gave me advice before I took George to his first show 2 years ago and excellent advice it was too. She will delight in reminding me that I said I was never going to show him! I am so proud. What a birthday present!

can we see a picture ...nice to celebrate a winner

[thugulike]

Rowanwitch I would if I could. There are photos on t'internet if you search on Fearnought George Formby, or mastiff George.

[rowanwitch]

I will....it takes a lot of work to show dogs successfully well done

Photo of George when he was just thirteen months old! Think he might be a tad bigger now.

Mrs Thug you would be amazed at how many people who show never intended to - they only bought their dog 'as a pet'. As I told you two years ago, showing is addictive - its great that other people think our dogs are as lovely as we do.
Fingers crossed for your third and crowning CC - the judge at Midland Counties in October gave George a 1st last year at Driffield and his dad got the ticket, although of course you have got some shows before then. I would love to be there when he gets it - I will be dancing round the rings!

Wow, he's a beaut - congratulations to the Thugs, thank you for explaining it to me!

Thanks for the link Jules, I'd forgotten that picture was there. That was taken on the Isle of Lewis last year. I can recommend Calmac ferries, they were fantastic with George.
