Hi everyone! Yesterday was Bradford Champs Show. This was one of only two championship shows run by the National Hamster Council (the other is in London). It was a really great day out with some gorgeous hammies and other animals. We only took 3 hammies but did really well as...
KIPTON GOT BIS DWARF!!!!!
Our pair of Dwarfs are turning out to be a couple of stunners! We were extremely pleased and it has cheered me up after my loss last week (R.I.P Red
). Kipton also got 1st in Winter White Male, 1st in Grand Challenge, 1st in Junior Dwarf, Best in Show Junior Dwarf, Best in Show Junior overall and Best in Show Dwarf. I was really thrilled as I was expecting Bingley to do better as he got BIS last time, but Kipton has really blossomed lately! Bingley, despite his bitten bottom where he still has tufty fur (the judges thought he had 'heavy moulting'!) still took Reserve Best in Show Junior. Napoleon scored well despite being a tiny and slightly pale man, and we were happy to say he got 5th in Junior! It was lovely to meet up with everyone from the forum and have a good chat, and well done to all who did well, especially Bunsey, Spud's Mum and Holly.
Here are some pics and a small video of the day so you can all see what it's like at a hamster show if you haven't been!
