Today was the day Victoria learned about Wilties. Herb has done a lot of work for her, now it was her turn to return the favor. The only problem was...she didn't know anything about the breed. Sure, she had seen Herb practice with his dogs and knew vaguely how to show them but was at a loss for everything else.
She scratched behind Rob's ears, the black dog was taken from the field just a few days before. Herb said he didn't have much expectations for him due to his lack of coat, but Victoria still thought he was pretty with or without hair. She turned her attention to an older woman passing by.
"Herb I thought you didn't like UKC colors!" The older woman exclaimed, studying Rob.
Herb shrugged. "Look at him Mrs. Wethersby!" He gestured to the dog's side.
Rob stood still as a statue, to Victoria he looked unamused with the show day festivities, he practically wrestled her the whole time she was bathing him. Guess that's what happens when you send a dog to field trial boot camp for the majority of its life.
The stranger, Mrs. Wethersby's eyes widened as she felt Rob's structure. "He is a nice dog!" She exclaimed, wrinkling her nose when she ran her fingers through his coat. "Herb, you should take a comb and tease the underside of his coat. Make it look like he has something." The woman said before giving her goodbyes and heading back to her dogs.
Victoria raised a brow. "Was she being condescending?"
Herb raised a brow back. "Why would she?"
Victoria blinked, "Herb, it's a dog show, you know how cutthroat people are!"
Herb laughed. "Nah, not Wiltie people! We try to help each other out, ya know?"
Victoria did not know, taking the older woman's advice she began to tease Rob's coat. The dog's white chest did look more full.
