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.

A warm and sunny day - Pluto loved it! His first CACIB and his first BOB.

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

It was incredibly wet. Parts of the ring were under water. Pluto don't do swimming.

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.

Pluto was to his advantage today and the judge really liked him - except that his coat was a bit too thin on parts of his tail.

Pluto in his first "big" show. He is a happy guy that is more interested in making new friends than walking on a straight line in the ring.
He is still young and not fully developed, but we have very good hopes for him!

Pluto behaved well at his official debut, but he didn't like the cold and he was more interested in checking out all that happened around the ring then walking in a controlled way.

Our new little boy made a great debut. He was relaxed but alert in the ring. He stood on the table as if it was the most natural thing on earth. He moved with ease and with minimal interference from my side.

Polka did great in her veteran debut and after a 2 years break. She stood there in the wind as if she was saying: "Just look at me."

A year without dog shows - almost

2009 has been the first year, in I don't know how many years, without any dog shows for us or our dogs. We haven't entered any of our dogs to any show since September 2008.

There are many reasons to that:
- Focus on family, job, house, garden
- Focus on just being with our animals
- Finding other things more fun
- The sadness after having said the final farewell to two of our dogs and two of our cats in just a few months
- The weird (and not so nice) atmoshere in the dog world

We might come back to the show ring some time in the future, you never know....



OK, there was ONE show in 2009. Per-Arne jumped in as handler for Zokii in Avesta when owner Håkan had broken his leg. (And if you have to choose only one show in a year you should of course choose the one with pouring rain and cold winds...)

Lisa didn't care about the cold and rainy weather, she moved like a youngster.
