Steph at the show

We had dog shows all over the last bank Holiday, i just took Bruno as i am trying to get him more confident without Tyson. Stephanie was working my friends dog called Rio which is a nine year old German Shepherd.
Now i have been doing Obedience shows for about the last two years, it is mainly a hobby that i can do and Steph comes with me for the day out. She loves dogs and we are hoping to get her a dog in the next few years so she can start competing herself.
Well getting back to one of the shows Rio's owner Naiomi and i decided to put them both in an obedience class just for a bit of a laugh. Steph has never been in an obedience round before , she has only done novelty classes. Both dog and steph went in the ring with the guidence of Naiomi and i telling her what she had to do and to just listen to the steward and what commands he was giving her to do to work the dog. Now this is hard enough as it is and i still get nervous everytime i go in the ring.Well bless both of them, of about 30 dogs in the class Steph and Rio won, she got her first place , red rossette and a cup that she keeps for the year and then takes back next year.
So there i am a very proud mum and Naiomi pleased as anything that her dog won the class, sadly not with her , I think i should just get Steph now to work my dogs as she seems to be a lot better than me at it.
