Fernie and the Dobden Trophy

Hi guys, I have just about come down from cloud nine. LOL Fernie and I went off to our OES club show today. There was a reasonably good turnout of exhibits and as usual the show had it's own unique atmosphere. Wall to wall OES and we were all happy to get covered in the dog hair.
Every year there is a trophy which is only for OES resident in Scotland, this is the Dobden trophy. For the year January-December 2004, you collect points at all Scottish shows, tally the points and submit your points total to the club and the dog with the highest points for the year is awarded the trophy.
Well my big lad Fernie collected the trophy today with a points total of 375.
We are so pleased, not only to have won this but he is the first ever undocked OES to win it. I am really pleased that all the hard work Fernie has done last year has been recognised. He tries so hard to please and really enjoys his show days out.
Well done my boy, you are my champion.

Hi again Clipper,

I tried this link but it didn't work. Could you check to see if it's correct? I'd love to see it.

Congratulations again!

Zach
Thanks to you all for the wonderful replies. You all sound as chuffed as I am. LOL I don't think I have ever been so proud, Fernie has put in a tremendous effort for me at ever show we attended and really ties his big heart out. So for him to have been awarded this is something truely special. It's a day that I will never forget.
In case you are wondering points are awarded thus :-
1st place 5points
2nd place 4points
3rd place 3points
4th place 2points.
So you can see that to get 375 points for the year, Fernie had to compete in a good few classes and be placed. He now also has 10 Best of Breeds, a Best AV Pastoral and has been placed in some groups too. Not bad for the dog that's known around the show rings as "That OES with the tail" lol.
Thanks again for all your wonderful replies, we both appreciate them.

Zach, if you are having trouble getting the link to work, try this.
Go to the MSN home page, click on People and Groups and in the search box type in Fernies' Friends it should take you to Fernies welcome page and you can look around the site from there. Hope you like what you see when you get there.

Clipper and Fernie
Clipper,
I can't get into the site either, either way. The home page of your site comes up, but there is nowhere to click to enter.
Chris
