Long Time ago

It was in 1998 at the big Europasieger  show in Dortmund. My famous male Ch. ‘Stonebrook California Breeze’ was entered in the progeny group with 10 of his champion offspring. This is a competition to show what a dog or bitch can inherit. There were 10 dogs from 10 different litters, most of them from other breeders.

It was a unique experience. We all walked together in a row through the large ring of honour to show off the movement. As we all stood there, it was quiet in the large hall, you could have heard a pin drop. Then came the huge applause from the spectators and the judge Mr Gendrung awarded 1st place

Judge for the males and Best of Breed was Mr John Wauben/NL, BOB was Christina Bailey with ‘Ch. Zottel’s you don’t fool me’.
