Judge : Mr Slatko Kraljic (Cr)
Breed : Bracco Italiano
3rd Best Junior in Show (bitch) (44 entries)
LUXEMBOURG JUNIOR CHAMPION (L J Ch)
After sailing through the breed classes, taking Best Junior Bitch, Best Junior in Breed and Reserve Best of Breed, Giada represented the Bracco Italiano against 44 other breeds in the Best Junior in Show (Bitch) final in the Best in Show ring, taking a fantastic 3rd place and a place on the podium at this prestigious show.
Not forgetting this show is at International Championship level, she beat all other competing FCI Group 7 Junior Bitches, ie the breed's own Group ('Pointing Dogs', similar to the UK's 'Gundog Group') , but far beyond this, she also beat all others competing from four other huge breed-classification Groups (FCI Groups 2, 3, 4 and 10), except of course the 2 bitches from these other Groups, in 1st and 2nd place.
Her performance on the day won her the title of Luxembourg Junior Champion (L J Ch), making breed history as the first UK-owned Bracco to gain a Champion title.
