Willow Youth Winster 2007

Last sunday our gorgeous little girl did her very best in the showring!!

At the Winner show in Amsterdam she entered in youth class (she's just 9 months old) together with 2 other bitches. Luckely the other bitches weren't that much older (1 and nearly 2 months), so the competition was fair. For her 2nd show she did really well and she won this class with an Excellent.

This is her rapport:

Judge Mrs. Somerfield (GB)

Very naughty but has the making of a good Gordon bitch, Nice front and feet, typical head and eye, moved soundly but full of naughtiness.

Yeah she was a bit naughty.... when the judge want to see her teeth she dropped down on the ground, on her back with her legs wide open. But I got her up and standing properly again and she behaved well after that. I am very proud of our young girl.

She isn't standing so good on this picture, but it was at the end and she had lost her patience by then. Unfortunately nobody has any pictures from earlier in the ring.

Conner also entered the showring in the Openclass and became 3rd with a well deserved Excellent. The judge didn't give that much Excellents that day, but a lot of Very Good and even some Good. So you can imagine that I'm proud of his 3rd place and him receiving an Excellent.
