Open Show

The Norwegian IG Comitee held our Speciality (unofficial show) on June 6th at Disen Gård, Vormsund. Judge was Tone B. Fischer of Eugenios IGs, Poodles and Chinese Cresteds. There were 31 IGs entered, of which 27 were there. 2 puppies + 12 males and 13 females.

We had a great time, the weather was nice and people seemed to enjoy themselves. Half the entries had never been close to a showring before, but everyone did a great job! Hopefully this will be an opening for them to start showing their IGs at official shows.

BM-1, cert, cacib, BOB - Dervisch Very Valentino

BM-3 - Ch Biscotti Esclusivo

BB-3, cac - Biscotti Mademoiselle

Of course, I wanted the CACIB for Easy - the judge took forever to choose between her and Star (D. Leslie Blue Angel) for Best Bitch, but Easy just wasn't in the mood for showing at all... Esso wasn't in his usual showmood either, I think the open show the day before "killed" their enthusiasm a bit - but we had fun at the open show, and that's the most important thing - there's always another Int Show!

Critics for Esso:
3 years old, good looking. Very good character, head quite good, eyebrow bald. Topline correct, scissor bite. Movement could be more free.

Critics for Easy:
2,5 years old, nice looking and moving. Head ok, scissor bite. In moving a little free in elbow. Good character.

I'd also entered Chivas in open class (13+9 salukis) for judge Marja Talvitie, Finland.
Chivas won open class with CK - there were only 6 males with CK. He didn't get placed in best male, but I was so happy! Last year, he was my "blue boy" (2.prize), but this year he's gained 2 CAC, won BOB and BOS + getting CK in such a large entry is just great!

Critics for Chivas:
Very good type. Good head and expression. Very good neck, topline and withers. Very well angulated behind. Moves very well from the side, a bit loose in front.

I'm very happy with Chivas, and if he continues to move like he did at Drammen, I can actually start hoping that we'll get that last, "big" CAC for his Norwegian Championship!
