World Dog Show and the specialty shows in Finland

Terrier Specialty, 6th of August, judge Luc Detry, Belgium

We entered two dogs and they did very well. Nezhnoye Plamya Zhrebiy Udachi ”Grisha” was 2nd in junior class, placing finally as best male #4 from the junior class. It was one of the hottest days of the summer but our kids handled very well.  The venue was Hakunila Sport Park in Vantaa. The place is unfortunately too small for a big show like this, over 1500 terriers… Total entry 37.
