2008
 | 17th August - Clonmel International Ch Show - Judge Mrs L Zake
(Latvia - she judged wire bitches at World Show, Poland, 2006) - it had to
happen - Mandy got an international show with a big ring outdoors, and
a judge who wanted to see the dogs move - and walked away with BOB (and
GSB & CACIB - her 4th - so now we are just waiting for the IKC to approve the
Working Test format so she can try for her International title). Mandy also
won G2 under Mr G Kostopoulus, in the pouring rain (the breed judging was
dry until mini wires started). Percy won Junior D, Tina won Junior B (Mrs Zake
was really complimentary about her, she just lost out for RGSB as she would
not stand in the challenge), and Rene was second in Int B (not enough coat -
my fault!). Under Mr Sanchez Goni, Harvey won Open D, RGSD and RCACIB in
miniature wires. All graded excellent (and not many minis were). |

Zealand) - Percy won Junior D and RGSD, Square won Puppy B,

Veteran B and RGSB. In minis, Harvey was 2nd in Open D, Connie was 2nd
in a big Open B class - all were graded excellent, and we had some serious
competition from the UK. It rained like it would never stop - so sadly we were
inside - but to round off the day nicely, Percy, Tina and Renee won the Team
Stakes. Square, Brenda, Judy and Connie went home with Mum due to the rain and
floods, while the "intrepid" team ventured down to Clonmel. |
