Working and Pastoral Breeds of Wales Ch Show 18.04.2015

The gang had a good day. Under the breed judge,Mr John Carter,Asterel Bohemian Rhapsody was Best Bitch and BOS. Asterel Fernando was Res Best Dog, Drika Da Costa Oeste At Asterel (imp) was Res Best Bitch and her young daughter Asterel Belle Starr At Garregddu- owned by Tracey Roberts was Best Puppy attending her first Ch show.
In the rare breeds under Mr D Clarke, Rhapsody was again Best Bitch with Asterel Xiquita being Res. Fernando was again Res BD.
We took the youngest member of the gang along for the experience, Asterel Kat Colerado, who is 5 months old and she was a very good girl. Kat enjoyed herself, but was a very tired puppy by the end of the day.
