Sapphires Journey

[Tulip]

I'm going to snap away at the Essex walk - I can't WAIT to have so many Schnauzers in one place!

so its getting so close now to sapphire's first show on sunday! the other week i looked at her coat and the her back looked much longer than her sides so decided to strip that thinking there should be a coat coming through but nope! so fortunataely i stopped when i realised there was just a strip of undercoat with a few wire hairs and we have been carding like mad to get rid of the fluffy stuff and get that hrd top coat through, her sides are just a nice length now. Sapphire is off to Linda's on Thursday for beautifying and i shall get my instructions for preparing sapphire on the morning of the show-I have never had to prep a p/s so will be avidly scribbling down instructions. I wish i listened more to the relevant points on p/s trimming at the seminar in march now!

I do remember one bit if it helps - follow the lines between white and P&S!!

OOOh, looking forward to meeting her on Saturday. I'll be picking for more Linda-tips after your session!

Good luck to you and beth on Sunday - are you both in the same group? (sorry don't know the correct terms!)

[Tulip]

Ooo, please share your wisdom! Maisy is also due to the Goomers on Thursday too, I can't WAIT! Booked the day off work to bath and dry her first, but not her jacket, only the fluffy bits.

Maisy is in PB, I think Sapphire is in MPB? Is that right?

Good luck Sapphire in her first show!

[Caramomo]

For the non showers pb is puppy bitch and mpb is minor puppy bitch.

Dannie...any idea of the show times on Sunday? I can't see any times on the website.

Its just that Brockenhurst is less than half an hour away from me but we have a bloomin christening to go to in the afternoon unfortunately. I would love to go and see all the minis!

[dannie_kl]

No sapphire and Maisy are in seperate classes as maisy is just a little too old for Minor puppy class.
@ Elaine and Beth, yes i'll be making notes so you can have a copy if its useful!
@Jo b, mini schnauzers are first in the ring starting at 9am, dogs first then bitches afterwards, I would imagine we'd be finished by 11ish.

[Tulip]

I would LOVE a copy! Thank you!

Beth is your groomer not bathing maisy? i would think she would need to before she scissors her.

[Tulip]

She probably would if I asked her to, but I'd rather do it myself because my ma is waiting in the car outside and I wanted to cut down on the time it takes to blow dry her furnishings so she wouldn't have to wait too long. It takes me forever to do it!

[Joni]

At least you can both hope for first places then!

[puppypower]

Good luck to both of you Tulip and Dannie (bigthumbs)
Im not that far away from there if I don't go up to midlands friday I may come and watch [camera]

[Tulip]

I'm incredibly grateful to Dannie - I literally could not do this without her!
