I had a great weekend in Leonberg September 29-30th. We were lucky with the weather. It was really nice to meet all friends from Europe, USA and Russia. Especially my best friends from Belgium, as I haven't seen for a long time and all their dogs from me. Dragongårdens Humphrey Bogart "Largo" received Sg in the jugend class. The numbers of entries, 375 dogs, was the record ever in Leonberg! We were 8 judges in 8 rings. I did the Open class males. It was 50 dogs in the ring, so I had a hard work to find my winner, Amadeus from Magic Castle. Finally he also achived Best male and Clubsieger at the end. I was also proud of Grizzly's descedants. His son Björntassen Ralf was second in the hugh Champion class with 24 Champions. The winner in this class was Uras Löwe von Osning. Grizzly's grandson Altonstigens Kaiser was very successful and won the Jugend class and finally achived the title Clubjugendsieger. The pretty young female Meus Amicus Filis became the female Clubjugendsieger and the title Clubsieger and Best of Breed achived by Lorena Woscany. Congratulations to everyone.
