As every year the biggest dog show in Holland, the Winner, was held. This time 25 and 26November.

Saturday was the day that Kiwi showed. She is such a terrific girl, maybe not the most beautiful but she surly is the most happy and clown like. All day she was very well behaved while waiting for her turn in the ring.
I thought she would be feed up after such a long wait but this was far from the truth. She pranced and glowed every second we were in the ring and I am just so proud of her. She ended up with a “very good”, but from me she got excellent ;-)

On Sunday it was the Lagotti turn. I did not enter any of my own girls but Cash, a puppy from Zanna’s last litter, was entered.
A friend of mine and I thought we arrived in time at the show but Murphy’s law showed its ugly head and Cash was the first dog of the day to be shown in the ring and we just got to see him and his owner leave the ring. I was so disappointed that we missed him. But all the people I know that did see him “trot his stuff” said he did so wonderful, he is not only a handsome little guy but also a very happy and friendly one! His owner can be very proud of herself for doing such a good job with him! Cash was best puppy, but also the only one haha. He got the highest mark as “very promising”. A great day!!!
2 of Ineke van Rappard, from Tio Babes kennel, own breed dogs did excellent by winning “youth winner” and “Winnster”. Many congratulations to her for breeding so well and such nice character dogs!
Bonebreakers kennel from Sweden came with their gorgeous dogs and won overall best male and best female, and this beautiful girl went on to win best in breed. Våfflan then went on to win best in group! What a girl!!! Many congratulations to Karin Eriksson who travelled so far but it was really worth it.

Unfortunately there were some Lagotti that showed les than desirable characters, one even going so far at so bite the judge. I am pleased to say they were not from kennels that I am proud to be associated with.

I did not take my camera to the show but there are lovely ones on the Bonebreakers site http://www.lagottoromagnolo.se/bonebreakers/index2.html .
Show results will be published at www.lagotto.nl in a few days.
