Ze won een sterke Jeugdklas en dus ook het Jeugd-CAC, in de eindkeuring voegde ze daar nog het Reserve CAC aan toe. Dit fraaie resultaat, maar zeker ook de vele lovende woorden over Dory van mede-exposanten maakten dat wij een bijzonder leuke dag hadden.<br /><p>Due to circomstances today's CACIB show at Echt (NL) was only the second show Dory attended. She won a strong Junior Class which earned her her first Jr-CAC, to which she later added the Res. CAC. This excellent result was made even more enjoyable by the many compliments we received re Dory from fellow exhibitors.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7459491285101188813-5214520813846816795?l=billsorcockers.blogspot.com'/></div>Rudyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14790824856438789240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7459491285101188813.post-9827391036786004162009-05-01T23:48:00.002+02:002009-05-15T21:38:19.181+02:00Europasieger Dortmund<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ON6rVIOJHX4/Sf4RrBiWyRI/AAAAAAAAEDw/2bsc30uYNnE/s1600-h/dorysit030509-6.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ON6rVIOJHX4/Sf4RrBiWyRI/AAAAAAAAEDw/2bsc30uYNnE/s320/dorysit030509-6.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331718439697828114" /></a><p><br />Toen Lina 2 jaar geleden vanuit de Jeugdklas Beste van het Ras werd op de Europasieger Show in Dortmund dachten wij dat dat een unieke prestatie was.
