On June 7th, I set off to Arlanda airport to go to Umeå where we, Åke Sjöström, Liz-Beth Liljeqvist, Lena Stålhandske and myself, were picked up by the showcommittee to go to Örnsköldsvik where the show was being held the following day. We spent a very pleasant evening in a restuarant often visited by one of our national heros, 'Foppa', and his spirit was all over the place even though he wasn't  present.

The following day we woke up to a very sunny weather and the place was beautifully located by the sea.

I judged Labradors and English Springers and had some good dogs to go over. DCAC to a young nice black dog by the name of Mainlines Publisher. BD and BOB went to Ch Tjottes Broken Arrow, as you  can tell from the photo this was his 49th BOB - a breedrecord in Sweden?? A very sweet yellow from junior, Posters Sweet Juliet, took BCAC and BOS.

In Springers, there were some very nice indeed exhibits.  Best Puppy to the lovely Cloette's Playin' With Your Heart. DCAC to a very nice intermediate dog called Barecho Most Wanted but BD to Ch High-Score On The Move who looked and showed beautifully. In bitches I fell for a junior, the most lovely High Score Top Model, she was awarded the BCC, BB and BOB! I am sure her sire, H S On The Move, is very proud of his daughter. They certainly looked a lovely pair as they moved around the ring.

Later in the day, I was doing best puppy in show and my choice for the top award was Cloette Playin' With You Heart. Åke Sjöström did best veteran and his choice for the top spot went to Tjottes Broken Arrow.

Finally, Lena Stålhandske, was doing best in show. Lena is Swedish by birth, is living in Australia since 10 years back but comes back to her native Sweden every summer to spend a couple of months here. Broken Arrow went runner up BIS and the young sweetie Top Model was put into 3rd place.
