Show results

The samsara crew have done three shows in the last two weeks, between those and Eddie and Any's birth life has been pretty hectic.

But we did well at all shows.

ACA Inverell show 2/9/12

Best Marked went to Symphonia Laertes
Best Coarsecoat went to Symphonia Rosaline\
Best Ticked went to Chantilly Wilbur
Best Longhair went to Chantilly Emmanuel
Best Crested went to Piggles

Symphonia Laertes got Reserve In Show
Chantilly Wilbur got Best In Show

Since apart from my ten only one other pedigree attended, we kind of swept the board... Tisn't much fun without competition. But the show did go well and I came hom with two newbies. Both are I guess you could call them wannabe shebas who have been christened Frederick and Ferdinand and have joined Feather and Fortinbras to make a herd.

Then on 9/9/12 we attended a double show. Wilbur and Manny returned to their breeder, Wilbur because he was only a temporary lend for the ACA show and Manny because I've come to realize I just don't like shelties. He was an angel to wrap but a pest when it came to the judges table. I will miss how easy it was to groom him though. Another reason he went back is that I really can't have a longhair in wrappers over the next few months as I'm spending time away and though the pigs are well cared for I can't ask someone to do his wrappers. So he'll find a nice show home elsewhere.

Okay so in the Young Stock show Symphonia Laertes got Best of Breed and Reserve Marked.

He then went on to take out Best of Breed in the Sydney Titles as well! Piggles won a Best of Breed too and Charmer got Best Pet.

I collected Shemelle Charmer at the show and he is just wonderful, he's a big fat boofy boy who he such a total sook. I cannot wait to see what he produces!

I also left Symphonia Rosaline at a friends for a second attempt at breeding her. This time she has gone in with Symphonia Silver Island a silver agouti rex. Hopefully we will get babies this time round.

Oh and my final piece of news, while cleaning out on Friday I found Nia with a wax plug, so it looks like Laertes may have done the job, which will make the babies due around October 16th woooo!
