Bernese Mountain Dog at CAC Desio 18.04.10

I received the request from our dear friend Cristina to handle one of her Bernese Mountain Dogs at CAC Desio on Sunday 18th April.
I took the train Saturday morning and I was at her house around 3.00pm.
I spent the rest of the day getting to know this wonderful bitch called Couscous. She's lovely, and very funny too. We passed a very pleasant evening, together with Cristina, her niece Marianna, Couscous, Kiki (another Bernese) and her puppies and Nabi (a Golden Retriever).
Unfortunately the next day was not so agreeable. It started to rain as soon as we got off the car. In addition to this, we discovered that our ring was OUTSIDE the sports arena where the show was held. Luckily we had the opportunity at least to settle our things inside. We found a very little spot near a stairway. It was just me, Marianna and Couscous.
Anyway I must say that we were lucky that it stopped raining in time for our judgements. In spite of the fact that we met just the day before, Couscous and I did very good. We got exc 2 in open class.
After the show we went to Marianna's house for lunch, and then I took off for Trieste.
I'd like to thank Cristina for giving me the opportunity of handling her dogs, and I hope she will rely on me in future.

Here I am, back from Ljubljana, Slovenia, from a satisfying week-end. I had to handle a borzoi (Adaweya) from the kennel where Bagrijana comes from ( Ca' Frosco Kennel ), and she got excellent both days at all three shows!! the second day she also got CAC. She is quite a beautiful type of bitch... a little bit small for my taste but beautiful. Lovely head and eye, nice fluid movement, good angulations and a wonderful coat. I had a great time and I would like to thank all the friends, breeders, handlers traders and sellers who made these days special! And I would also like to thank PETIITPETHAUS , the general sponsor of the show, who made wonderful collars for this occasion, and who let me help at their stand, spending time with friends and having fun. if you wish to know the results of the show, click HERE Unfortunately I don't have any photos of these two days, but I have some of Adaweya.

Wow what a weekend, I'm still on cloud nine and speechless. It's been a while since we've been to the Reggio Emilia shows, but it's always a pleasure to show there, since usually you win mouthwatering local food like cotechino, prosciutto and other goodies (I'd take a big prosciutto over a rosette anytime lol).
