I had entered both Iris and Brutus to the show, but due to a minor accident Brutus wasn't able to attend. When you cannot move to your full potential, it is better to stay at home and rest :).
So on Saturday I visited the Helsinki Winner 2012 to meet up with new friends and see wonderful iggies!!!! It was great to meet Lucien from Fiefoerniek´s Italian greyhounds and Whippets. Lucien´s and Sandra´s italian greyhounds were just a dream to watch!
Also I had a pleasure to surprise Anna and her son Niko and Mano at the ringside. Mano was entered in Junior Class and he got an Excellent and was placed 4th in the competition class. Well done!!!
But back to Winner 2012 on Sunday. It was almost surreal to be at a show with just one dog. Iris performed in general really well and I was pleased with her drive in the ring. The only thing that she wasn't really pleased about was showing her teeth to the judge. She was (as the judge said) on a very stubborn mood that day :D. But she did get an Excellent which we are very happy about.
"17-months old bitch of excellent type and with beautiful lines. Good body and upper line.
Balanced presence. Moves well. In a bit stubborn mood today"
Here are a few pics from the shows.
