First year for Yummie in Leonberg, and she had an excellent debut! She won a huge Zwischenklasse (Intermediate class) with her 2nd German CAC, and her 13th CAC totally!!! In Germany, there are other rules in best female/male, there is only one winner.
Shiku, who now is home again from the U.S., was third in Ehrenklasse (Honour class, only for winners and C.I.B.).

We went together with Catrin Eriksson to Germany, we were the only ones from Sweden, and also she brought two dogs. Shiku's son Amstel (Ch.Vallonbygdens Crazy In Beer) and his mom Tindra (MultiCh. Kusbolejonet Interesting Dream), they also represented Sweden in the best way! Amstel won Zuchtklasse (Bred by class) and also Tindra won Ehrenklasse and later she won BEST OF BREED!!! Go Sweden!

Huge congrats Catrin, and thank you for a great weekend!
