Early
success
In the July of 1992 we had to say a very sad farewell to "Jet" and soon after "Annie" (Peageporte
Auch Roisk) was brought home, we all fell hopelessly in
love with her. We had to learn to hand-strip her and for
this we found ourselves at Little Clacton and on Florrie
Whiting's door step. Rodney was coming along for the day
out, however, it soon became clear that Rodney had more
of a flair for grooming than I so he took over having the
lessons with Florrie. But no way would he be seen in the
show ring.
Annie's first show was at a local exemption show where she
won Best Puppy in Show, her first breed open show was the
SOEATC Xmas show where we won the Special Aspirant class.
In the early part of 1993 the Thetford & District canine
society held their open show. To my utter amazement Rodney
asked if he could take Annie, we trained most evenings (for
Rodney's benefit) and they duly set off on show day. They
won Best Terrier in Show and Annie found herself with a
new handler. Rodney and Annie won many groups and group
placings at the local open shows and they won Best in Show
at the last Limit show held by the East of England Ladies
kennel Society. In Crufts 1997 when they won a large Post
Grad class, judge Mrs B Back. (...previous)
