Shownews September 2016

My diligent exhibitors have not been granted any leave. I had a vacation and I earned it after that horrible year! After the show in Brussels, I was in Italy and southern Germany. 14 days is too long for me – after 10 days I was homesick and was missing my dogs.

Thanks to modern telecommunications, I was always up to date.

“Martha” Obsession aus dem Elbe-Urstromtal” still keeps her owner Ann Hodgenson busy and chewes everything she can find. But at exhibitions she does everything well and is super nice. On the 18th September a CC show took place in Darlington / GB. Mr Peter Bailey judged the OES and “Martha” was Best Puppy again and took 2nd place in group 1 in the Puppy class. Fantastic! Family Colin and Pauline Barnes took 2nd place with their “Magnus” On Special Request aus dem Elbe-Urstromtal“.

In England, “Martha” Obsession “aus dem Elbe-Urstromtal” finished her last show in the Puppy class with a Res- Best in Show Puppy at the Show in Bedford on 25.9. The junior class judge was Mrs. Mel Roo / GB.

Family Horschler won the junior class with “Macho On Top aus dem Elbe-Urstromtal“. So Macho has met all the requirements for the title German Youth Champion. Congratulations!

My miniscus operation was exactly 10 days before the 2 day show in Maastricht. I had registered “Norman” since he was now old enough to complete his Dutch title and his international title. I went to physiotherapy every day and three times daily I had ice packs on the knee in the hope that I could show “Norman” myself. What did not go well at all was driving or pulling a heavy cage, which one has to drag at the show. Thanks to my dear helpers I was able to go to Maastricht/NL. On the first day, Mr. R. Douma / NL was the judge. “Norman” won best male with CACIB and CAC and had thus reached his 2 titles. Nicole Neiken started there with “Ostwind” and won RES best Bitch in the youth class.

After the first day, my knee needed some cool ice packs. “Norman”did not needed anything on the second day, unless I wanted to win the Benelux title in the Netherlands. I wanted to get the title for “Noman” as wel,l. On this day the icepads were in the cooler bag …..

The knee was fine and Norman won Best of breed with the judge Mrs. L. Mouchard / NL and came in the last 6 in the honorary ring. “Ostwind” brought back her youth CAC.
