Last weekend I was invited to judge at the double Int. Show de Utrecht, I want to thank the organizers for the invitation and a well organised show and the exhibitors for showing under me.
Here are some pics
The World Show is over, but unfortunately things didn't go our way this time.
Sadly, “Maverick”, the junior male, could not be shown because he sustained a cut on his paw pad while walking from the parking lot to the show. “Evie”, the champion female, took third place.
Today's judge considered the other two better, and today he was authorized to select the best one.
Which he did…… Congratulations to all the winners.
