Judge : Mr Peter Embleton (Ireland)
Breed : Bernese Mountain Dog
Final 10 in class Open female (32 entries)
3rd in Pairs class with father Geilo
The Club Show was held over two days at Frya, north of Oslo, this is an excellent venue for a dog show with cabin accomadation on site.
Unfortunatly our Norwegian friend had entered Elkie in the Open female class in error, she should have been in the Intermediate class with 8 entered. In the Open class Elkie was the youngest entered, also had she been in the correct class she was the youngest there too.
However we were very pleased with Elkie's result in the Open class, from an entry of 32 she made the final 10. She was also graded excellent and went on to take 3rd place with her father Geilo in a very strong pairs class.
Judges Critique: Two years old, medium size, femine head, good dark eye, correct facial markings, good reach of neck and lay of shoulders. Good depth of body, slighty lacking spring of rib. Good top line and tail carriage, moved well.
