Another Swiss Show Experience

Myself and Jive (Clandrift Dirty Dancing at Harlistream) attended another show in Switzerland. This time it was the Lausanne International CACIB show. There are only three CACIB shows in Switzerland a year, and this was the last one of 2011, and happens to be Crufts qualifying. It was run over two days, with Flatcoats being judged over both days, with different judges. On the Saturday was Swiss judge Lisbeth Mach, and on the Sunday American judge Dyane Baldwin. We had a lovely weekend at the show, met some new Flatcoat people and had lots of fun, Jive was awarded 4th in Open Bitch on both days. Sadly this is our last show in Switzerland as Jive will be returning to the UK next month. Hopefully she will return later next year after having her puppies, and she will be able to see her Swiss friends again !

Madison goes Best Veteran In Show !!

Here at Harlistream we are so thrilled with Madison's (Withybed New Yorker at Harlistream) success at the recent Flatcoat Society Open Show. The dog judge was Mrs Gill-Davis (Rosecourt) and she awarded Madison 1st in Veteran Dog, and then along with the Bitch Judge (Mrs Whittaker - Falconcliffe) gave him Best Veteran In Show ! We were over the moon with our little boy. This was the first show he had attended since his recent cancer fight, in which he lost a toe on one of his back feet. Like a true Flatcoat, he bounced back and defied anyone to think he had been seriously ill recently ! We are so proud of our beautiful boy, and thank everyone that showed so much support for us, and cheered us on !!
