NEW CALEDONIA SHOW

Hello ITACOR!

Here are, at last, the news from the only show of the year here 15th August, 2009.

There were 103 dogs, it must be little for you but it was a big show for us in New Caledonia.

As for the show itself, we had our "confirmation", so ITACOR Ckyu can have her definitive pedigree. The judge (Mr Kerihuel from France) said she was "Very Good" in her lines, very good back, very good chest, good angulation.

The judge was really great, making everybody feel at ease. We had fun! The show was during a big fair, there were a lot of people! And a LOT of people turned round to watch Ckyu when we were walking all over the fair. Everybody said she's really beautiful and exceptional. Her colouring made a really great impression too.

Best regards,
C
