Last weekend was hard work – two show days: Saturday an all breed Danish National show in Hedensted. Both Eliza and Funny was entered and of course it was rather chaotics to bring two excited dogs as well as chairs and blankets the long distance from the car to the show grounds.
The weather was brilliant and it was nice to sit at the Ridgeback ringside in the sun. But the peace could not last as Eliza and Funny was due in each their ring at almost the same time 
As Eliza stood a good chance of getting her second CAC I tried to let a friend handle Funny, while I went to the indoor terrier ring. 
When I got there it was obvious we still had some time to go and I rushed back to show Funny – quite lucky as she absolutely refused to be shown by anyone else… and it turned out.. by me… so her VG was not surprising, and I was relieved when I could run from the Ridgeback ring to the Terrier ring and grab Elizas line and go in. This however went splendidly – Eliza showed herself as a professional, stood quitely on the table for examination (amazing taken her antics the day before when the vet tried to draw blood for her progesterone test) and walked nice and straight, and it paid off: BOB, CAC : Very good type, good proportions, little bit over the weight, nice feminine head, good topline, very well angulated, moves well 
(judge Astrid Lundava, Estlonia)
Sunday was Ridgeback club show in nearby Stouby, 62 dogs was entered from 4 countries – pretty good. Just Junior class bitches (Funnys class) was HUGE 10 bitches between 9 and 18 months. 
But now Funny moved like a dream, stacked like a pro and even her bad experience from the day before where the judge forced her mouth open to look at teeth was overcome by the nice approach of judge Per Iversen (Norway) , so this time she went #2 with excellent: En elegant ung tispe, med gode prop, fem hoved, god længde, men kunne have lidt mere dybde, meget god hals, velkroppet for sin alder, stærk ryg, meget god lårbredde, kunne have en anelse mere vinkel i front, god ridge, bra bevægelser, kunne være lidt mere frimodig, men dommeren kan gå til hunden.
Apart from that Funny was sooo well behaved that it was a treat being with her, just laid quietly in her crate when I didnt have time for her, and walked around on loose lead enjoying herself when she could.
The weekends activities has also offered the opportunity of Lurecoursing, and even if the rain was pouring down when we started off from home it became the usual great experience. Yankee – 11½ years old had opened the latch for his crate in the car and jumped out when I went back to check before walking down to the field; he wanted to run NOW! so senior as he is, he was allowed to jump the queue and had a great run. The happy grin didnt leave his face even when the last bit up the hill became a little hard on the old legs.
