What a great day we had today!!!

Today was the “Lagotto Romagnolo club Nederland” (http://lagotto.nl ) show. The judge was a very well known Swedish breeder from the Bonebreakers Kennel (http://go.to/bonebreakers ) Karin Lindahl-Eriksson.
She did an excellent job and made the day very special by not only judging the Lagotti with an excellent eye for the breed but also telling us why and how she judged and that taught us all a lot.
She had a BIG job as there were very many Lagotti!!!!! Over 50 Lagotti were entered!!!!!!!!
Everyone enjoyed themselves, talking about your favourite dogs with other “Lagotto crazy” people…….. what more could one wish for?
It was an outside show so the day was made even more perfect because of the excellent weather.

My girls did very well. Valgie and Dotje were 1st and 2nd in the young female class. A daughter from Zanna’s first litter, Nina, came a very good 3rd. Bono, Nina’s brother, show himself as such a handsome fellow and even though he had no competition in his class he did his family proud.
Zanna was in the open class females, a group of I would guess 15, and came a wonderful 3rd place!!!! And to think I wasn’t going to enter her but did at the last moment.
End of the day Vaglie went against the other best of group females and came 3rd.
There was a great turn out of Zanna’s last litter and so we had 4 “Kakapo babies” in the baby class. I thought they were all wonderful so for me there was no competition, but for the judge Cash was 2nd after another awfully small and lovely puppy 3 months younger won. Her name is Donna Casa la Vita and has the same father as Zanna’s babies.

Best bitch of the day was “Liz die Casa Cleo” owned by Susanne Davies.
Best male and overall winner was “Comes Cordis Allegro” owned by Daan and Giena van de Weide.
My biggest congratulations to them and there wonderful Lagotti!
No show would be complete with out such great examples of this breed.

Kiwi the Estrela came first place. Ok, I have to admit she was the only one in her group LOL. But she got a very nice report so that made that special too.

I didn’t take my camera with me, walking and showing 4 dogs kept me busy enough. Hopefully we will receive photos tomorrow.

In the mean time this is how “Zanna the show dog” looks after a day at the show.
