Ok, that might be a small exaggeration, but when he was called out into the final selection in the Working Group at Crufts on Saturday we suddenly found people \u2018liking\u2019 the Club\u2019s facebook page and had some new puppy enquiries too. It was good they managed to find us, given that the commentator couldn\u2019t actually pronounce our name anything like it should be. It\u2019s a good job we\u2019re expecting some litters to be born in the UK this year, otherwise people would be disappointed. Of course, to us, it\u2019s not that surprising that you humans would want to share your lives with one of us but sadly there aren\u2019t enough of us to go around, so you may need to share. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you didn\u2019t get to see the final Group stage you can see it here. Buddy is on at about 27 minutes in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Working Group Judging | Crufts 2020\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_pJf2F_EPy4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cuddling Up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>My excuse was that it was cold and Alfie looked as though he needed a cuddle. Mum was busy at her desk and when she got up I\u2019d got into bed with Alfie. He doesn\u2019t normally let me do that, even when I ask nicely. I did try again later in the day but he said absolutely not! To be fair by then he wasn\u2019t feeling so good and just wanted to be left alone. I wonder if I\u2019ll ever feel like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_9043-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17182\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Izzy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you were holding your breath to see when my niece Izzy went\noff to meet the stud dog in Belgium then it\u2019s time to take a few calming\nbreaths now. Her progesterone level has dropped again so she seems to be having\nwhat is called a split season. We just need to wait for her to start again. It\nmay be tomorrow, next week or next month. It may be longer than that.
