Nordic Winner Dog Show in
Stockholm, Sweden
14 December 2003
|
Finally - a show in our
neighbourhood - we could almost walk there!
If it wasn't for all our crates, combs,
brushes, groomingtable, showleads, food and beverages, extra
shoes and clothes... When you visit a show with seven dogs,
three adults and four girls, you have to be prepared for almost
everything!
As this is our "home-show", we thought it was a splendid
opportunity for our four girls to practice in Junior Handling.
When we decided to enter them, we must have forgot that this
show also is the biggest dogshow in the Nordic countries! That
we always "have to" talk to a lot of people, that
we would be showing five dogs in different classes and that
we had high hopes for our group in the Breeder's class!
|
So of course, Boel and Gunilla were running
back and forth two different halls, almost missed the male veteran
class, forgotten to take pictures of our dogs and probably missed
a lot of interesting people!
But we got a lot of cute pictures of our daughters!

The 8 Argenta-girls waiting for their turn in the ring!



Caroline and Chili, Ch
Argenta's Octavia,
was placed among the 5 best in Junior Handling.

On this picture, the finalists have changed dogs with each other.
We would like to thank
Bernt (Ch
Argenta's Laurentia), Margareta (Ch
Argenta's Liberty)
and Jill (Ch
Keynote's Shouting Argenta Trombone)
for letting our girls show their dogs.
|
In the "real" competition, seven
Argenta-dogs were entered.
Boel showed Argenta's Quentin
in Junior Class and Ch
Argenta's Beckett was shown by Gunilla in Veteran
Class.
Boel showed Argenta's Qayenne in
Junior Class and Argenta's Phoebe
in open class.
|

It's always fun to make the dogs ready to enter the ring. 
Gunilla and Jill are supposed to fix Qayenne...

Boel and "Silver", Argenta's Phoebe,
are planning their tactics before entering the ring.
In Champion Class we had three championgirls;
Yvonne showed Ch
Argenta's Imelda
Gunilla showed
Ch Argenta's Jezebel,
and Maria showed her Ch
Argenta's Leonora.
|
"Jezzie" won the Champion Class, the CACIB and became Best
in Opposite Sex!
And the title Nordic Winner 2003!

Argenta's Phoebe won the Open Class,
the CAC and the reserve Cacib!
|
We won with our group in the Breeder's Class!
It was later in the afternoon placed among the 8 best out of 49 groups!

and Argenta's Qayenne.
Ulf, Phoebe's owner, took some pictures of us in the final ring.
They are a bit dark...
Entering the final ring!
We lost some and won some!
We lost Imelda's head but won almost a whole wolfhound!
