Isn't it funny  how we all just jump out of bed at any time of the night or early morning to get to a show in time? I had entered Blondie (T Bit of Class) to the Swedish Spaniel and Retriever Club Ch show in Hammarö just outside Karlstad. It isn't that far off from where I live, 270 kilometres one way, but since there are so many speed limits along the way it still took us 4 hours to get to the show. The venue was good but since it was being held in a stable house the sorrounding area was very dirty and moddy due to the rain. After the judging had been completed we went upstairs to have some lunch in the restaurant. We got a really plentiful good meal for a fair price - how often does that happen? I am glad every time it does!

Judge on the day was Mr Vidar Grundetjern, Watch-Out's Labradors. He awarded the DCAC and BOB to a  Mallorn's Impulse from intermediate.  BCAC and BOS was won by a yellow, also from intermediate, Poster's Sweet Juliet. That made this day a really Scandinavian day since the judge was from Norway, BOB from Finland, BOS from Denmark, both Swedish owned!

Blondie was placed 3rd with CC quality in Open out of 17 entries.
