Great news - Foster has been awarded his Show Certificate of Merit and can have ShCM after his name. Even better is that the lad has done this since October attending the Open shows and his number of Best of Breeds, Group Placings have very quickly added up to the 25 points required. I am very proud of him. As you can see from the photos he is proud as well.
Today sees the end of the shooting season and the dogs will miss their days out. Foster will not be able to attend Crufts, as a docked dog he cannot enter so will be a 'dock and denied' dog. Seems stupid really as he has a life qualification for Crufts, even more is that he would not even be able to enter the Gamekeepers classes at Crufts. Anyway that is the law at the moment.
