[SHOWS] VAASA INTERNATIONAL
April 17th 2010, judged by Leni Finne
Iceland’s volcano and a no-fly zone caused a lot of troubles to the show committee. They had to do a lot of changes to the judging list and time schedules. What a job in so short period!
The Cardigan entry was 15, but 3 were absent. Instead of Swedish judge Benny Blid, the breed were judged by Leni Finne. The best male was our TuTu’s father, Ch. Cheysuli’s Tri To Remember. Well Done Taija & Kennedy! The best bitch and BOB was our Cat, Big-Wood’s Catwalk, who also finished her Ch title. This was the very first show after her 2nd birthday and the very first possibility to finish the title. Well done Cat! This was her 9th show in Finland and her 7th CC.
Cat’s fullsister Tove (Big-Wood’s Catowice) was 2nd in open bitches and Romi (Big-Wood’s My Tribal) 1st in intermediate dogs. They both were graded as “Very Good”.
New Champion; Big-Wood’s Catwalk.
