Eton with the girls

Eton is a  gold star boy, he has been with us for 6 days and not yet shown he has any vices.
I am sure he was told by his owners that he had to be on his best behavior!.
This photo makes me smile, Bepop seems to be leaning to the left, not sure why.
At home the dogs have accepted Eton into our pack, and he has now calmed down enough that he doesn't flatten them all with a greeting. I love trying to understand the behavior of dogs, and watching the two males interact together has been fun, luckily no malice between them and even when Bobby shows that he is the 'Man' of the house by some serious toy collecting, Eton has the attitude of a teenager, if he could speak he would utter ''whatever''

Novaforesta Eton deserves a pat on the back.

This boy has done so well, he is a real credit to the breed.

Novaforesta Eton

Eton is a bit of a country boy, so his first show under cover on carpet was probably a bit of a surprise.He is so full of fun, it almost seems sad to see him behave so well in the showring, he spends his spare time play bowing to other dogs regardless of sex. Having said that, Eton has his photo retrieving a bird in the July copy of Sporting Shooter along with his Mum.Betsy and his sister Esme. We have yet to translate his critique from the shows, but he had lots of Excellants, and of course he has now been confirmed.It was a fairly equal share of winners over the weekend, and with only the 3 barbets entered the competition side was non existant. This is the second year running that not a single French owner turned up at the show, at least two of the dogs entered were actually French,and hopefully the confirmations will help the stats in France.
