Exhibitions in June 2023

After the intensive Pentecost weekend with the Euro show etc. we didn’t have a break.

On Sunday 4-6-2023 the CAC show of the British Sheepdog Club took place in Weiswampach in Luxembourg. There were 5 OES registered, all bitches! in the youth class 2, open, intermediate and champion class each 1 bitch. The judge was Mr. Paul Jentgen from Luxembourg.

Chris Beirendonk was the big loser of the day with her beautiful Norman daughter. She was 2nd in junior class.

all others got their CAC, because there is a CAC in every class.

the winning bitches: The youth class, “Uschi Glas”, Gerda Derksen with “Ultrachic aus dem Elbe-Urstromtal” and Chris with “Stien”.

“Uschi Glas aus dem Elbe-Urstromtal” won her 2nd CAC at this show and has now fulfilled all the requirements for the Luxembourg Champion. She is champion no 170 in our long gallery.

The culmination of the day was: our “Uschi Glas” won the Best in Show

Our hard-working exhibitor Angelika Bardelli from Switzerland was also on the road again. This time to Dijon/France. There was a CACIB show on Saturday and the championship on Sunday.

Judge on Saturday was Mr. Kerfriden from France for the 14 OES. Best junior and best bitch from the youth class was for “Verliebt aus dem Elbe-Urstromtal”.

Underpressure aus dem Elbe-Urstromtal (AKA Fritzi) wagged her tail this weekend at the Woofstock dog show!

Results:

– Sunday – W open bitch class and Reserved champion of winner’s bitch- Judge Harry H. (Butch) Schulman from KY.

The venue was packed. Tons of grooming. Many champions and professional handlers. Nice to be able to meet personally some of my FB friends like Christine Lambert-Winter and Christine Bunsick-Pesche. Sorry if I missed connecting with others. The show can be a bit overwhelming for the newbies like me.

Congratulations to ALL the winners! And to the organization for this local event! I adore the OES Xmas ornaments (sweet treat!)

Thanks to Fritzi’s professional handler Jean N Gauchat and her hard-working crew. Fritzi adores you all!

Especially, thank you Cornelia Loest, for entrusting me with my lovely Fritzi. I love her to the moon and back! We keep learning and improving. Old English Sheepdogs aus dem Elbe-Urstromtal, #fritzitheoes
