Bearded Collie Inventory Day

Today the Dutch Bearded Collie Club held an inventory day for dogs around the 2 year age, Toby was invited to come. We normally do not show she dogs but where somewhat curious to know so we went to Hoenderloo.

The judge was very enthousiastic and called Toby a really excellent dog. He said that Toby would be a good asset to the show arena and advised me to reconsider my not wanting to show. I gave the answer that the dog perhaps would fit well at a show but that I wouldn't. He denied that also. But anyhow we went home with a good feeling, because he is now officially a pretty boy, that's what I call him most of the time. But the most important thing of all is that Toby is just a very very nice and gentle dog and it's a great honour to be his boss.
Here we are waiting on our turn.

Here we are standing for the judgement:

And you can see that I am somewhat bored.

So this is just before we drove home:

And what is a better thing to do on such a sunny autumn day, yes go for a swim in a lake nearby, so that's what we did when we where almost home:

Beardie walk

Yesterday we visited a bearded collie walk in Maastricht. It was a very nice day, in the beginning it was somewhat windy but after a short walk the sun showed itself to make it even better to walk.
