Pluto got his first BOB at Gimo in September 2011, and he repeated that this year. He has developed a lot in this year, especially his way of moving in the ring. It's a true pleasure to show him.

A really cold and somewhat windy morning. But Pluto didn't seem to care - it was amazing to see him move and stand there in the mud. (The judge commented on that he handled the weather extremely well.) Overall a superb critic!

Pluto showed himself with style despite all the mud. I'm so proud of this little guy!
It was also very nice to see his son that won BOB puppy with style and a superb critic!

Pluto did really well again. he was relaxed and had fun in the ring. And so did I.
He wasn't chosen in the group final by judge Kjell Lindström.
(A little extra icing on the cake was that he beat the bitch that he has lost to several times and that won the IG specialty this year.)

Today he moved just the way I want him to move - to the left in front of me. I just needed to set the speed and then follow. He wasn't disturbed the least of what happened around the ring, even if he was well aware of everything.

I thought that I arrived well in time, but immediately when we came to the ring it was time to enter. No time to warm up after an hour in the car. So I didn't give Pluto the best chance, I'm afraid...
The really good thing today was a judge that really knew the breed and took his time to go through and comment all details.

He got very nice comments from the judge and he did really well in tough competition. Ended up in Best Dog after the champion class dogs.

Pluto enjoyed being in the ring today and the judge really liked him. It was no shame to stand behind a really good dog. Pluto has matured in his own speed and is getting better and better all the time. He has never moved better in the ring than he did today.

The Italian judge thought that Pluto was "too red" and that he wasn't solid colour due to the black shading on his neck.

Disqualified in intermediate class quality  Mannequin's Quello Quando Quando

Update October 12, 2011: The Judges Committee at Swedish Kennel Club recommended at their meeting on September 8 that this result should be removed since the judge had made a mistake.   


Technical judging error:
The judge really liked him, but she found a little "hook" at the tip of his tail. Although that is not a disqualifying fault according to the breed standard she put that as reason for disqualification.
