They had a show on in Northumberland Park on Saturday - the K9 club is exactly the same as the Hillheads ones so Poppy can do bronze silver and gold awards there as well 
They were super helpful with us and there are 2 lab puppies in this mornings class so should be fun!
Will let you know how we get on.

Believe me, I know what it is like to have a headstrong pup. Charlie was one, and he was my first dog too. I don't recall his nipping phase lasting too long, and it was mainly clothing and kids toys that bit the dust, but he was hard work just the same.
He was always a very full-on character, and still can be now at the age of 7. He was never at all the stereotypical soft, dappy labrador puppy. I sometimes wondered what on earth I had done, especially as I had a toddler daughter at the time. Charlie will always be a flawed and stubborn sod, and not the most obedient, but he is also now the most loyal friend I have ever had. He regularly shadows me around the house, and always wants to at least know where I am.
It is easy to say when you have come through it and out the other side, but perseverance is key, and there is help out there if needed.
