BERRY DID IT !!!

What a wonderful day !!! We went on the WDS last sunday in Salzburg, Berry competed in Champion class, we all knew what a big and strong concurrency it would have been in the ring, 38 champions from allover the world !!! Can you imagine my feeling? I am a beginner, so my expectation was just an excellent, but deep in my heart I knew Berry could make it, because he is really an amazing dog, POWERFUL but ELEGANT, with an harmonic ground covering gate and a very sound conformation, and a beautiful beautiful head.

The judge was one of the best: Hans Muller (CH) and I must say, he really noticed my dog from the very beginning, so we went trough the first cut, then the second, and then he left 4 dogs…. I was happy anyway, and I would have gone home happy with a 4th. place, HEY IT’S A WORLD DOG SHOW !!! But Berry had his 5 minutes of glory, and the judge looked at me and raised his finger…. FIRST PLACE !!!!!! OH GOD, WHAT A MOMENT !!!! THANKS to everybody for your tears with me, for your hugs, for your support, in the world of showing dogs you can really find true friends, who compete against you, but who can also be happy for you when you win, I LOVE YOU PEOPLE !!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart !!!!

Unbelievable !! Last week-end we joined the competitions of the “Mediterranean week” which means three different shows taking place in Montecarlo, Sanremo and Nice.

Berry joined the champion class, and every day was judged by a different judge (from Italy, UK and France) and EVERY DAY he was rated excellent and took the first place OF THE CHAMPION CLASS !!!

I am very proud of him, especially because the best result was on sunday in Sanremo, when the judge was Brenda Banbury, famous Cruft BIS and GROUP judge, who choose him as BEST MALE of the breed !!!

Little Dakota made her debut in junior class, I was a little concerned because on the last show she barked in the ring (I guess she was tired of showing so often) so we did not show her for two months, but we took long walks in the city around a lot of people, we joined ring training, and she was sometime with me in the office, also surrounded by different people, so on the day of the show I knew she was ready and SHE DID GREAT, she was rated excellent and placed 1. on the first day, then 2.

We still need to work on the bite examination, but she is 9 months old, I know she will learn to tolerate it.

So, we are just happy and proud of this great results !!!!
