After a very enjoyable evening, good food and company next day we went to the Winners show. Ambaa was entered in the Youth class which she won and became

This time Ambaa gained a 3rd place under judge Melanie Dunn. We are getting better, not quite as much leaping around the ring!

At last the time arrives for Ambaa to come home to us all here at Faahac! I had already been over to see her on 3 occasions - once with Fiyaa and Toni, and this time Helen (Shingwidsi) came with us.

We went to a show whilst we were there at Berghem (see below) - unfortunately Ambaa had just been in season so could not be shown but Fiyaa went on to take the CAC and CACIB (her second).

We had a nice couple of days with Mary (Chaquamba owner) who I will be forever grateful for looking after Ambaa so well for me for the 8 months before she could come to the UK. The trip home was uneventful so we went straight on to:
