Charlie's first show!

It was our local RSPCA fete and fun dog show this weekend, and I decided that it was time for Charlie to make his debut!

First we entered Dog Judge Wants To Take Home, but we didn't place as the judge seemed to prefer rough haired dogs. Charlie didn't care though, he was flat on his back in the ring, wiggling his legs in the air, having belly rubs, and playing with the huge Malamute next to us! I think the crowd enjoyed us anyway..  

The other class we entered was "Happiest Rescue Dog." There was a class of about 20 and we were called in 3rd! The judge said that Charlie got his place for being a "lovely Staffy." He was the only Staffy in the ring, and the youngest dog too. The little gremlin of a dog who we were next to got Highly Commended, which we were very happy about, she was so cute and her owner shared her treats!

The yellow rosette looked very swish on Charlie's blue harness, and he strutted about proudly for the rest of the day.



We saw one of our walkies friends win "Healthiest Bitch" with her red Staffy girl, and there were two GORGEOUS chunky Staff boys wearing their traditional leather harnesses. It was a good day for SBTs!

He had a wonderful day, and behaved impeccably. He met loads of dogs of all shapes and sizes, and was friendly and polite with all of them. He liked the puppies best, and let them climb all over him. he had lots of strokes and cuddles, and LOVED being the centre of attention!

Hopefully we helped enhance the reputation of this lovely breed, and I am SO proud of my boy!  

Now that sounds like a great day
