INTERNATIONAL
DOGSHOW HUND 2009!
Today for the first time I took the train (!) to a dogshow! Now when I live
close to the railway I figured it would be easier than trying to find a
good spot to park the car at this very busy dogshow.
So me and the girls took our little cart with our things and took the train.
The first time for both of them on a train and they did well. A little bit
unsure at first but quickly relaxed and we had a smooth ride to the show!
Once there we met up with Johanna and Wilson who had taken an earlier train
and got ourself settled in since we knew we had a long day ahead of us.
Todays judge was Sue Carter from South Africa and the breed entry was over
80!
First out of us in the ring was Johanna and Wilson for the first time in
Workingclass. They did absolute fabulous and they won the class with CQ!
Wilson's critique:
"Balanced and symetrical. Strong bone. Well muscled. Equal distance
head. Ears well set and carried. Reasonable stop. Dark brown eyes. Black
nose. Scissorbite. Fourlegs slightly eastwest placement. Deep chest. Well
bend...?. Correct shape, size and position of ridge, two crownes. Very good
coat condition."
In Championclass my A-puppies dad Bosco (Zaxxon's Prince Bosco) won the
class with excellent critique! Congratulations to you! Those South African
judges really seems to love him!
After some waiting is was time for Best Male. Wilson and Johanna got to
run some extra laps against the winner of the Openclass Enzo, (Zaxxon's
Coolking Ceven) who is the "little brother" to Bosco. Enzo won
and became Best Male with CAC, CACIB and became New Swedis Champion! HUGE
congratulations to breeder Lotta and owners Sandra and Jocke!
Wilson got a very nice 2nd place which we are more than happy about! Now
we are waiting for him to turn 2 years to start the next showseason in spring
to hunt those last two CAC for his Championtitle.
Then it was time for the girls and Yaya was first out in Intermediateclass,
10 bitches there today... So a bit nervous when entering that large class...
Yaya did well and won the class with CQ! Happy me!
Her critique:
"Very elegant, symetrical outline. Very strong bone. Very good
condition. Equal distance headproportions, clean skull, no wrinkle. Ears
well set and carried. Good stop, strong underjaw, black nose, scissor bite.
Very good forechest, well angulated front and rear. Powerful back. Ridge
could be slightly longer but good in shape, two indentical crowns. Short
coat in excellent condition. Moves freely, good reach and drive, good tail
carrige."
Then it was Moa's turn in Championclass and she also did amazing finishing
second! The judge came up to me and the winning bitch (African Braveheart's
Fourever Yours) and said that these two bitches was the two most beautiful
dogs she had ever seen in all the countries that she had been judging in!
That feels good to hear!
Moa's critque:
"Well balanced, very elegant. Strong bone, well balanced. Equal
distance. Ear well set and carrige. Dark brown eye. Black nose, reasonable
stop, scissorbite. Good forechest, chest deep to elbows. Good length of
neck, well angulated front and rear. Powerful topline, ridge could be slightly
longer and crown little longer. Bitch in excellent condition."
So time for Best Bitch, this time I showed Yaya and Johanna got to show
Moa. And the girls both did as good as they could with Moa finishing 2nd
Best Bitch with Reserv CACIB (might be confirmed as CACIB?) and Yaya 3rd
Best Bitch gaining her 5th CAC!
(If anyone has pictures from Best bitch please email me!)
So it was a very nice and successful end of our showyear 2009! It has been
so much better than I could ever have imagined and I will write this year
down in my History book! It wont be forgotten or taken for granted!
Thanks to all of you kind people who has been cheering us on, see you again
at My Dog in January! |
