****** CRUFTS 2010 ******
Then the moment had come for our first Crufts !!! We were all very nervous and Brinkley was obviously a little overwhelmed by the atmosphere at Crufts. Add to this, the fact that we were entered in the largest class for the Breed at the show, with an entry of 18 dogs and we were quite ready to come home without a placing. However, Brinkley ran round the ring well and stacked beautifully as per usual, the only thing is he didnt have his tail up as high as it normally would be. Yet he still got placed 5th out of the large POST GRADUATE class and we were so pleased with him. The judge obviously liked him as he said to me when he placed us all, that 'if only he had had his tail up'... just what could we have come home with then !!
Still a fantastic result for our first American Cocker Spaniel and our Very first time showing at Crufts!!
.
Then this week we did the Horsham & District Open Show and Brinkley did well again, getting the following results for us:
- 1st Post Graduate American Cocker.
- BEST OF BREED.
- 3rd Memorial Stakes.
Well done little man and a big thankyou to all the judges, especially to MR D CRISTOFOLI the judge at Crufts for seeing how special Brinkley really is despite some nerves.
