Vienetta does it in France!

We left here at 9.00 p.m. on Friday evening all packed up ready for our expedition to a dog show at Amiens in France.  The weather was good,  just right for travelling and the roads pretty quiet. First stop the Channel Tunnel, Folkestone; we just had time to stretch our legs and grab a coffee before being directed onto the train.  For anyone who hasn't done the Chunnel before, it is so quick, around 30 minutes and you are in France.

We arrived at our destination at 6 a.m.  The doors or rather the gates didn't open until 8 a.m. and after trying to get through the only open gate at the same time as the whole of the French dog fanciers we eventually found our hall and a nice grooming area.

It was a beautiful day, it started a bit chilly but by mid morning the sun had really got hot.  The french were very hospitable and it was lovely to see some familiar faces.

It will be a day to remember ... Cotonkiss Calvin Klein won Junior Dog, Best Junior and Best Dog and Cotonkiss Vienetta came up trumps, she won Open Bitch, Best Bitch, Best of Breed and placed Group 2 in the Toy Group.
