Hi Mo, Yes it was Thornton. The important thing for us today was that he behaved in the ring. No problems with the judge (despite his hat), and no problems with his first outing on grass. I think there were 7 or 8 pups in the ring. Tomorrow we have a choice of going down to Irvine for another AV Gundog class or going to the Game Fair at Cardross. I'd prefer the latter, however I don't call the shots here!!!!
