Challock Goose Fair 14th September

For once Bill and myself were not the last to arrive. We had the trailer delivered so all we needed to do was unload the merchandise etc and we were ready. We decided to take one of our new additions to the kennel, Lady. She was really excited when we picked her up unlike April who had seen it all before and was very laid back. The fair couldn’t have been on a better day, it was like summer and oh yes of course this was our summer. As far as we know there has been a fair on the site for many years. It seems to have grown more popular. There were craft stalls, cake stalls, fairground rides, dog show, farm animals and classic cars. Something for everyone. We were joined by the Gibbs family with Honey, who like April was very laid back and just could not wait to get to work, looking pretty. Mark, Julie, Bugsy and of course Wellington who by now knew the drill, he even met some other bassets….he’ll be forming a club soon. In the afternoon Doreen and David with Evie joined us. We had lots of interest with people wanting to see the greyhounds and find out more about them. It is still surprising the misconceptions people have and that they do make excellant pets and are becoming more and more popular. Attending events such as the Goose Fair are excellant because people can see what they are like first hand and also it helps to socialise the dogs as well. We had a brilliant day, even met Bonzo who was one of our dogs we homed in our first year. He was a little greyer but looked very well. To see some of the dogs that we have homed and how they are getting on is really satisfying and that is what it is all about. Below are some pictures of the our day at Challock………Enjoy
