Border stares


These two Border Collies were waiting to go into the showring at the last Monaco Dog show.  Border Collies have the most intense stare don't they? Such intelligent dogs.

Crufts 2016


For those of you interested, Crufts - the biggest dog show in the world - starts tomorrow in Birmingham.  This is what thousands and thousands of exhibitors will be doing in preparation and what I used to do for many years including judging there in 2006.  Good luck to all my friends who exhibit their dogs, and especially the Old English Sheepdogs!
