He 's a beautiful dog TT.
Congratulations Conker.!

Bless him - he is obviously very interested in what is happening off camera.

Well done Conker. And Mum.

He looks so cute, bless him. Nice legs TT, can't wait to see them in short shorts!!

Conker says thanks. He is always looking at his Mum. :o)
Conker does have lots of wins in this 'legs' class ~
especially in the hot weather. Lol

Congratulations Conker , we always knew you were a winner :0)

Beautiful dog and obviously had a wash and brushup before his grand entrance well done.I think he is asking if he did well and where is his treat? ..........

Gorgeous Conker!!!Gone to my favourites TT.

O Conker u little sweety u look so Cute all in your Tartan Outfit :) Just look @ how hes looking up @u TT :) X

Conker is delighted with your comments :o)
Can you see behind his back feet what a very huge tail he has ?
He loves to be groomed, so it's easy to keep him looking smart. :o)

Congartulations and a cuddle Conker:)

Scotkat ~
Conker sends a cuddle back to you. He's wearing his rain hat.
Will get photos of his crochet bonnet for you when my friend is out of hospital. So kind of you to offer to help with the bonnet. xxx

Almost did not recognize Conker with all the tartan garb. Here is a BIG (((HUG))) from across the sea to Conker and his master from the boss and me. Oh darn I can't get out of the rhyming thing. Cheers!

Conker likes hugs
From so many miles
He sends lots of thanks,
And sweet Sheltie smiles.

On, no, me, too ! Can't stop the rhyming thing ...

Oh, my...how attentive he is....beautiful picture, TT....eagerly awaiting more..

Skippy ~ thank you.

I've just remembered that this photo was taken in the garden of a large house. The grass was very short ~ lovely to walk on.

For the Best 6 Legs class, the judge often asks dog and owner to walk across the ring and back. Conker is very good and keeps his boots and hat in place.

For very hot weather, we have different costumes where we are tennis players, and Conker carries his own racquet. Lol.

At some dog shows, the grass is knee-high and very difficult to negotiate. When the grass is tall, the little Dachshunds and Yorkies disappear in the undergrowth.:o)

Proud of you Conker...well done ,big bone Percy

Conker says hi to Percy :o)

Conker's a Darling, The way he looks at you reminds me of my (now gone) staffie Sophie, noo they dont look alike :) just the look of love in there faces, cant imitate that, of course i felt the same about her ..

Hi Dee ~
Did you ever dress up Sophie ?
Terriers look really cute when wearing hats etc.
Sophie sounds like she was a real character.

No TT, maybe at xmas id try to put my angel headband on her :))) but she didn't like it, she was a great dog, easy to train, also had her mother, Tammy, she was more the hubs dog, Fantastic dogs, now i have a border Collie, offered to watch her for a few weeks, 11 years a go, hahahaha, she only knew 2 commands, to catch flie's and drink out of a Lager can :) i trained her to the basics, so i had 3 dogs at once. Mad or what :)

No, not mad Dee.
And Border Collies are super dogs. :o)

yet again another great doggie pic

Conker woofs hello to Lassie up in the Orkneys :o)

Such holiday spirit this shot imparts...you must be quite tall....santa....the way Conkers it looking way up there...maybe you are tall to Conkers anyway.... cute shot.

Well done Conker. Such a sweetie!! (((BIG HUG))) from me here in BC and lots of woofs and licks from Molly and Susie.

My old dog was a 50/50 sheltie / border collie. She was such a lovely dog. The size of a border collie but the colouring of a sheltie. You can just see her head in my avatar photo.

This is so cute, TT... I showed this to Odie and Popie and said, "see how nice this dog stays, not running around crazy and barking and being unruly!" They were very humbled and Odie put on his christmas bling to try to make it up to me. Those two really need to step it up a notch!

Hello to you trio above from across the pond.
Conker sends greetings to Flash the horse. Conker would definiltely look up a long way to him ! :o)
Gilli's pretty dog on her avatar has definite Sheltie colours ~ really lovely.

Hugs and woofs to Molly, Susie, Odie and Popie.
Conker invites them all to join in with his trick routines ~ and Flash, too. Shall we start with the gardening tricks ? Lawn-mowers ready ? All together..... PUSH .. Lol. :o)

Well done TT and Conker

Hello Milky ~
You won't have time for gardening over Christmas. I've heard just how many young grandchildren are going to be under your roof.
Enjoy :o)

I have two dogs too....Phoebe &
Sofie...they are lazy oafs and said they would rather sleep right now...Phoebe thinks her keeping watch on the roof is good enough...no lawn mowing tricks for her Highness.....Sofie...would love to do anything to please but has a bad hip so will watch happily...Flash pulls things so could pull yor garden cart...but does not like the idea of loud machinery so would probably kick and buck and destroy the whole place so he had might not better take part at all....I believe your Conkers has the corner on the market for intelligence and tricks... very good Conkers..!!very good!

Conker sends best wishes to Phoebe and Sofie.
Catfinch ~ when your dogs stop snoozing, please pass on the message.
Next year I'll try to make a blog of Conker's raking, mowing and measuring the plot for his vegetable crop. :o)

Hello Conker, what a sweetie you are. x

Hello Pottygardener ~
hugs from Conker xxx

Well done Conker and TT ..

Hello Janette ~
Conkers says Hi. :o)

got to be a sure winner

Hi Mickbmw ~
Conker hopes Bill & Ben are coping with the winter weather :o)

What a sweetie Conker is, and his mommy has trained him very well, of course...

Conker sends woofs across to Chummy and Scrunchion :o)

You can't beat unconditional love .

Smalljaw ~ Good comment.
Conker doesn't have a hidden agenda :o)
I don't use titbits when he performs his trick routines.
He does it all purely for enjoyment.
I'm glad you like the photo.
Wags and woofs from Conker. :o)

Terratoonie,

He's all ready for a sleigh ride. LOL

I don't think Molly will be joining Conker with his lawnmower. Unfortunately she won't be able to reach the handle. Unless, of course, she stands on Susie's back. No, Susie will get upset if she does that. Perhaps she could ride on top of one and bark directions?

Hi Delonix1 ~
Conker wonders if he might be warmer in California.
He could wear his tennis outfit down there. :o)

Gilli ~ Molly and Susie seem like they know exactly how to make the best of their doggie lives with great teamwork. Lol.

Very nice picture, Conker is a beautiful dog.

Terratoonie,

Conker may enjoy the weather...as it has still been warm here, averaging around 76 degrees F/ 25 degrees C the last week, however, it is suppose to cool down quite a bit this coming week with rain which we so badly need to help our extreme drought.

Hello Aleyna ~
Yes, I'm lucky to own such a beautiful dog as Conker.

Seems like Conker would enjoy the Californian weather with Delonix1.
Rain water falling on a Sheltie's coat always improves the look and texture of the hair. Some people spray their Sheltie's coats with rain water. :o)
I hope California gets its much-needed rainfalls.

is this our mascot conker it wood suit him he is lovely

Hello Mary ~
I'm sure Conker would be happy to be the canine mascot. :o)
Nice to see you again on GoY.
I hope you are well. :o)

Aw Conker - bless your cotton socks - and your mum's woolly booties :-D

Conker says Bertie
has very nice paws too :o)

Birts says, aw shux :-)

what a great picture,

Thank you, Eggbox.
Conker says thanks also.

oh my gosh how cute is this how fun I love animals.

Hello Lujean ~
Conker the Sheltie says hi to you.
It's wonderful that you are now working with homeless animals.
Well done. :o)

What a snazzy picture the two of you make! Oi Oi Conker, you know what they say about 'red hats' LOL
