Brodie came first in deerhound open (the only one in his class)
Then was awarded Best of Breed (still the only one to enter)
Then was awarded G1 (there were others in the group)
at Pontypridd & district canine society. I was quite pleased really

Very well done Brodie. Excuse my ignorance but what is G1?

Thanks, G1 is best in the Group,
G2 would be reserve best in Group...
PG1 would be best puppy in Group etc

Thanks for that - summit else I have learnt

My pleasure, in my opinion “those who give up learning, think they know it all & usually know very little”

Well done Brodie and John, what a star.

Thanks, It's nice to beat the best of other breeds...unusual thing was a Wolfhound went G2, but the judge was an Afghan Lady..

Foggy says 'GO DADDY!GO!'

And Sid and the Lyarts say 'Rock on, John and Brodie.' Nice one, chaps.

Congratulations John and Brodie Deerhoundz Rule!!

Great news. Congratulations.

Thank you all for kind comments, it was a good job he won as I was going to tie him to a tree & leave him if he didn’t!!

Yeah, right! Of course you were...

I know you may have heard me threatening to leave him on many occasions in the past & even though he hasn’t won I still took him home, but this time I meant it. I would have left him, honest

It's a good job I wasn't there. I'd have taken him home. I'm coming to the conclusion that maybe I have room for one more deerhound in my life. Well done Brodie for giving those other hounds a wooping.

When you stop-over en route to the breed show,I'm confiscating that poor neglected dog!!!

I will most certainly let you take him for good (oh, I forgot, he’s entered into the show, so I best take him just in case he is OK), of cause his pall Bookle & daughter Bird may not want to part with him, so it could be three up for grabs on the way back

Congratulations Brodie Fantastic news!

Good on you John. Keep up the good work of promoting the Deerhounds. Well done.
