Sunday 28th, International Dog Show, Maastricht, Netherlands - This was the first time we had shown our dogs in the Netherlands, the Exhibition Centre was first class, with our hotel being about 50 yards away. The Judge was Mr G. Puts (Netherlands). 

On Saturday 20th it is the BMDC of GB Championship Show at Peterborough where the judge for males is from Austria. There will also be a few of Geilo's puppies being exhibited at the show now his first three litters are over six months old.

Thursday 18th Driffield Agricultural Society Championship Show: CONGRATULATIONS to Best Female Puppy and Best Puppy in Breed winner Dolpena She's the Bizz, bred by Ann and Hywel Roberts, this puppy is a daughter of Geilo. Moving up to the Limit class today Geilo was placed second in the biggest Bernese class of the day.

At Darlington Show the ground from the car park to the ring side was terrible, it was a swamp all the way, all the dogs entering the show were covered in mud. We were not prepared to have our dogs tramp through all this mess so we left the show before the delayed judging had started, we would not take our dogs walking on a day like this.
