Congratulations go to Dana Horakova from the Czech Republic and her “Zottels Devil Wears Prada”. Danni earned his title on 13-8-16 on the Int- Show in Mlada Boleslav / CZ. He is a son of my wonderful Texas (Ch. Eldorado aus dem Elbe-Urstromtal), who died much too early. This is his 25th Champion Child. I know very few males who have so many descendants that have also won champion titles. Of course, congratulations also go to his breeder Mrs. Christina Bailey to England.

The month of August saw the completion of the great European Show in Brussels. Again a mega-event, which still had its difficulties with the information to exhibitors. 2 days before the Show, almost no one knew which ring the Bobtails were to go to, or at what time ……
On Thursday evening I decided not to go to this show. I had Norman washed and brushed but was actually completely unnerved. Monika Fuss had to encourage me to get going again. She was once again my travel companion.
Morning entry should have been at 7 am, but by 7.30 we were still waiting in front of closed doors! So I thought It would have been better if I had stayed at home. But everything was good! The judge Mrs. Barbara Müller from Switzerland, a longtime breeder of our breed, found Norman the best. Ch. “Norman Harrison aus dem Elbe-Urstromtal” won everything, Best of Breed, Champion of Europe, Benelux and Brussels  Winner. I had to cry with happiness, but also with pain because I had lost his wonderful sister “Senta”, who was also registered for this show.
