Offenburg and Crufts

Regarding the show in Groningen on 04-03 there is unfortunately nothing good to write. I traveled with my wonderful “Norman” on the long journey to the north of the Netherlands. We had a nice hotel and I was looking forward to the show and had high expectations. When we were finally on our tunr at 13.30h and “Norman” had to run his second round, he started to hobble. Why? I dont know!!! The judge Mr Koot was inconsolable, but there was no other option for me but to withdraw “Norman” from the competition. Finished! Nothing to do. “Norman” would undoubtedly have become the best of  breed and in Group 1 he also had a very big chance to win. Yossi Guy from Israel judged this group and I know that he finds my “Nörmchen” very beautiful.

That was Groningen 🙁

On the weekend 12 -03. There was the most famous show, CRUFTS in Birmingham / GB. Ms. Pauline Mills was judging more than 100 OES. “Martha” and her mistress Dr. Ann Hodgenson started in the junior class. It is always something special to win a class at Crufts, and this year it was “Obsession aus dem Elbe-Urstromtal” who was lucky and took first place in the junior class. Last year it was my “Norman”, who won the Junior and Limit class at this show.

Its very posh to have your own Hotelbed as a well traveld showdogs.

on the last Weekend of march “”Martha” travelled the Long way up to scottland to Edingburgh. On this Show Mrs. Brocklesby-Evans judge the OES and gave “Martha” the first place in Junior Class.

 

On the same day, the Horschler family was in the intermediate class with “Macho” at the international show in Offenburg / GER, which had a lot of very good competitors. Mrs Melchior from Luxembourg judged our breed. Despite the strong competitors among the dogs it was “Macho” alias “On Top aus dem Elbe-Urstromtal” who won best male with CACIB and CAC. The joy of the Horschler family and myself was very great.
