21.10.2012 Manoush Darth Tyranus new Estonian Junior Champion!!!

Had a super interesting weekend in Rakvere, Estonia with our little boys Brutus. Since last summer he had been missing just one Junior CC in order to qualify for an Estonian Junior Champion title. I was half thinking that maybe I would just leave it to 2 Jun CCs and forget about traveling to Estonia one more time this year, but in the end I decided that I should make an effort and go there. I mean no harm in trying right! And I am super happy that we did. Our judge was Cristian Stefanescu from Romania and he gave Brutus and EXC-1 on Junior Class and placed him as Best Male -2 as well. Brutus got a wonderful critique as well "Elegant general appearance, excellent excellent head, beautiful neck, normal topline, well developed chest, good muscles, strong croup, good tail, very good presented, very good condition". So we are super pleased with that.

We were supposed to take part in BIS junior competitions but it has been hard and tiresome past two weeks at work, so I decided to skip it this time (and the show next day) and head home. We already got what we came there for and I thought it would be nice to sleep in my own bed this time :D

Here is a few pictures of Brutus in his "thoughts" in our hotel bed (just about to leave for the show). He is such a lovely young male. Just had his 16-month birthday with his sister and I seriously could not be more pleased with them both (and generally our first litter). Brutus is now officially (waiting for confirmation) Est JCh, TLN W´12, & TLN JW´12 Manoush Darth Tyranus. I cannot wait for our adventures next year!!!
