Well Narelle, Frankie did it again !! That's fantastic !!! You are so lucky to live in a country that organises many dog shows. We have here maybe one in a month, or one every 6 weeks.... Always during the day and NEVER outside. It's a pity Frankie did again a real great job, congratulations !!!  Give him a BIG kiss  |

thanks and yes she qualified as she won an All Breeds Best in Show - only about 4 weimaraners including Tita actually won this award at a USA show during 2005 so pretty pleased with that!
She will be bred shortly and we will bring a puppy back after she is shown to her AM title...should be fun.

Thanks again to everyone for your support, I think its great to see our breed going BEST IN SHOW sometimes its really hard against the furry dogs! We are lucky in Australia, in our state we have shows every weekend, we only show one day on the weekend...you can usually find a show will be on most weekends about 1/2 hour drive from our house or if not that close then not more than just over an hours drive.

That's amazing. The closest shows here are few and far between. I guess the most local show is around 1 hour away. The rest are anything between approx. 3-4 hours' drive. If you want to travel to Scotland from here, you are looking at around 8-9 hours.
When the clocks go back, it's so dark and depressing having to travel to shows but in the Summer it's not too bad.

First show in Poland in 2006 is on 21-22 January 450 km from Warsaw (where we live) so about 5 hours driving... Our girls are registered for it but we are not sure if we manage to go there as there can too much snow to drive ...  |

When I travelled to Ireland, it took about 6-7 hours to get to the ferry port, and then three or so hours on the ferry, then we drove to all the shows across Southern Ireland over seven days. The last show day was in Tralee, right on the west coast, and I had to bomb it back from Tralee to Dublin ferry port (on the east coast) before our ferry left in the evening. Once we hit the UK, I drove through the night and finally had to rest up in a petrol service station at 5am in the morning to catch some ZZZZzzzs before doing the last stint.  |

As we live in a very small country, we have to drive minimum 1/2 h. and maximum 2 h for a show.  Luxembourg is about 3 h, so also very close. For Paris we count 3 h. |

Thanks again to everyone for your support, I think its great to see our breed going BEST IN SHOW sometimes its really hard against the furry dogs! I couldn't agree more, it makes me feel proud for our breed too - seeing great Weims where they belong, he he he! Very well done. As to crazy stories about going to dog shows, does anyone feel like opening a new topic for that? I'm sure we all have many more to tell!!  |
