SWEDEN HÖGBO INT SHOWS

Two weeks ago me and my friend Salla travelled to Högbo international dogshow in Sweden. I had with me Ricky and his mum Lettu (Nightdream Issidore Ducasse), Salla had two schipperkes.

Ricky won Best of Breed with CACIB on saturday and Lettu was BB-2 with res-cacib. The breed judge was mr Bjarne Sörensen from Norway. We didn't stay for the finals while it was raining and everything we had was wet and muddy. 

On sunday Ricky was EXC/1 CQ BM-3 and Lettu EXC/1 CQ BB-2 res-cacib. Judge Elena Kruus, Estonia. The Schipperkes did also super, Linus (Coros Linus) acchieved Swedish and Internation Champion titles and Sissi (Coros Luna) Swedish Championship.

Monday was spent in Stockholm in a super sunny weather. Perfect trip despite the rain and mud in Högbo!
