Mirtillo brag

[Janneke]

So, we had our first clubmatch today.. It went GREAT!! We are so proud of our boy

Because he was the only basenji baby.. He was baby Best of Breed.. The judge wrote a beautiful report. (We forgot to take it with us.. so it will be send to us. When it arrives, I'll quote. But it had something in it like: excellent show quality )

Then we went on for baby Best of Show.. And Mirtillo came out third!! (out of ten :D) Nr. 1 was a American Akita and nr. 2 a Saluki.

Here is a photo of the podium.. Nr. 2 was hungry..

I'll post some of the other photos in Show off your dog.

I finally have his judge report. I tried to translate it to proper English.. but please correct me if I'm wrong..

Young breed representative of four months. Square construction. Elegant expression. Beautiful topline and outline. Splendid head with beautiful wrinkle formation. Small dark eye. Beautiful straight legs, bit stronger angulation on the hindquarter. Already beautiful forechest. Very well condition with supple skin. Moves gracefully and light-footedly. Already excellent show qualities. Beautiful presentation.

I love how your shows have written critiques. This is not done at AKC dog shows so you never really know what the judge thinks about your dog unless they happen to make a comment.
