CORRIB SHOW GALWAY
10th May 2009
Judge : MR A. BUTTERS
Breed : Bernese Mountain Dog
1ST JUNIOR
BEST OF BREED
This show was many miles from our house right over in the beautiful west coast of Ireland. Benson is just 10 months on the day, our other young bitch (crowning glory was just 8 months) Andrew went to the show on his own so I entered Crowning Glory in AV puppy class and Benson in the Junior class.
This show did not have puppy stake classes
Benson was eligible to go into puppy class but I put him into junior class for two reasons First
of all Andrew could not show two puppies at the same time secondly I could get double points for Benson if he won his class and also if Chimes won her class she could also get double points in hers,
these points are towards the IKC junior diploma award.
Both Benson and Cathy were the youngest bernese puppies entered in the show.
the challenge was called for best of Breed and the puppy who beat Chimes (who was older than both Chimes and Benson) she was called into the challenge with Benson to determine Best of Breed
BENSON GOT THE BEST OF BREED.
The puppy bitch he beat went on to take the best puppy in show.
