National Dog Show Krefeld 2013
On Saturday morning, we drove off very early to Krefeld. We were expected by slightly to small rings, not much space around them and pouring rain. At some time we had built our camp and waited, since this time the pharaoh’s were first to be judged.
I started with Tuner in the Youngest Class, which he won under judge Marco Sistermann (D) with a VV1. He now can adorn himself with the title „Rheinlandjüngstensieger“ :-)
Then it was Johanna and Merly’s turn. Despite her heat, Merly did a souveran job as usual and won the V1 Anw. Dt. JdgCh. VDH & Club. Subsequently, she was awarded with the BOB againgst the bitch from the open class (Offene Klasse). Merly now also carries the title „Rheinlandjugendsieger“ and „Rheinlandsieger“.
There were 4 teenagers registered in the age class 13-17. While the speaker was sedulously talking about harder figures, which had to be run by the older group since they already have experience, Johanna’s nervousness became noticeable.
But even then, the two made a great team! At the end Merly and Johanna won the contest... what a great performance!
In the play-off against the winners from the age class from 9- 12 years, they were up for the dog exchange. Just like that, you come to a Whippet...
The play-off was won by the competitor. Anyways, Johanna cut a great figure and it was wonderful to look at.
