What a show weekend!

In the end of May we drove all the way to the other side of the coutry to take part to two dog shows in one weekend. On saturday it was a group show for herding breeds and on sunday it was the specialty show for Pyrenean Sheepdogs. We had two very much respected judges, on saturday our dogs were judged by Mr Salvatore Giannone and on sunday our judge was the chairman of the French breed club, Mr Alain Pecoult. We also had a good amount of dogs in the ring, on saturday there were 36 dogs entered and on sunday 46 dogs.

I am still trying to recover from the success that team Entre Nous had, it was overwhelming.

On both days the BOB was "Joli", FI CH JW-10 Entre Nous Joli-Bois-Bleue and she was also BIS2 in the specialty.

My own boy "Merlin", FI CH HeJW-11 JW-11 did so well being BM2 on saturday and BOS on sunday.  "Sisu", FI CH JW-09 Entre Nous Icaquier Doux did also great placing BM4 on saturday and BM3 on sunday. "Titi-Uu", FI CH EE CH LV CH HeW-10 W-10 EEW-10 BALTW-10 Entre Nous Incarvillée got excellent on both days and  "Vissa" FI CH JW-11 Entre Nous Camomille Bleue had "VG" on saturday and EXC on sunday. Ronja, Entre Nous Herbe de Feu got also VG on saturday and did very well on sunday receiving EXC and placing in the open class out of nine females. Young "Skip", Entre Nous Merde du Diable along with many other dogs, was told to be too small and got "good" on both days.

It is a rare chance for me to show a breeder class while my dogs are living in very different sides of the country. This time it was possible thanks to you wonderful owners of my dogs! And what a result: on saturday our Entre Nous breeding class was BOB and BIS3 and on sunday BOB and BIS2! The group consisted of four dogs: Joli, Titi-uu, Sisu ja Merlin.Thank you again everyone for a wonderful day, it was also so great to meet you breeding owners and your dogs that weren't shown, but popped by to meet us.

Here are some pictures, many thanks to Nora Grönlund and Jaana Viinikka!
