In 1982 for Sue's birthday I bought her a Blue Mantle we called Apollo. The following year along came Misty, our Blue Bitch.

We then thought it would be a good idea to have a go at this Showing game. We set off full of pride and anticipation. Unfortunately, we were looking through rose coloured glasses, but we still came home with the best dogs.

Through speaking to the Judge and Steward on that eventful day, little did we know that we would become life long friends of Rosalie and Elwyn Cobley, who took us under their wings and mentored us, passing on sound advice. We will always be grateful for their patience and guidance.
