WorldDogShow 2009 Bratislava, details

We woke up very early, traveled by car more than 2 hours. Fletch and Phini in the luggage rack, I with my owner on the rear seat. We stood in a queue, waited, parked, unpacked, waited, peed, waited, we beautified ourselves, waited. We were waiting together with lots of bearded collies.
The long expected English judge started a little bit chaotically, he did not really show concept in his choices at the dogs, he may have got into the routine at the bitches.
I was the fifth - as I reported on this early already – it’s a good result from the 21 beardie champion bitches at 3 years old!
Afternoon with Lenka, whom we met at EuroDogShow, wnet to the junior handler finale. We waited for a lot, we were many. We were left fewer and fewer in the BIS ring. When we were only three I was really anxious, but I may not have showed this of course. A very nervous Lenka was on the other end of the leash, and an possibly even more nervous owner in the auditorium!
We were the second, we strutted around proudly on the huge platform, before the flashes and the international cameras. My owner and Lenka fell gladly into each other's neck, they were proud terribly.
Me too, but I never reveal this to them.
