GOOD NEWS from Rianne & Janay in the Netherlands!
Today we where at our first dog show (FCI) in Germany.

We had Judge Edelhart, in youth class with her only 9 months and 2 days.
He was very nice for her, and give her a very good write up, and an
Excellent, and other people told me, thats very good in youth class, in
Germany because most of the time they don't become an Excellent, most of the
time a Very Good.
So Janay became today her First Official Titel Rheinland Jugend Sieger 2009
and after being judged with the male youth winner again, she is Best Youth
Dog. In Germany its different then at our shows, so Janay was in the ring
with WD and WB for BOB....(WD was a Shamba son) my poor little girl, she
couldn't win LOL...
