Cara rocks Kortrijk

owner Cara Davani pictured with Int & Multi Ch Dandy Black and Blue Rokoko,
Dave Davani and Secretary general of the Eurodogshow held in Kortrijk, Joel Vanlerberghe
The popular Eurodogshow took place in Kortrijk, Belgium last weekend with 86 UK based dogs being part of an entry of nearly 3000 over the weekend writes Vince Hogan.
From that UK entry came the
Best in Show winner in the form of
Int and Multi Champion Dandy Black and Blue Rokoko
handled by OUR DOGS breed correspondent Cara Davani who co owns the dog
with breeder Angela Ban (Croatia), and well known Kerry people
from Ireland Jarka Poulova and Phillip O’Brien.
The win was all the more remarkable as this four year old male had only arrived in the UK following the
World Show in Bratislava and this was his first show being shown by a delighted Cara.
That’s not to say he is a novice as he is already a multi BIS and group winner
and looks destined for more honours if this win is anything to go by.

Positive commitment on show at Discover Dogs
Stuart Band writes: Whilst a move always brings with it some teething troubles there were very few to speak of on this occasion. Could this be due to the groundwork which was done by the stalwarts of the Kennel Club under the auspices of Vanessa McAlpine along with the band of stewards headed by Gerald King? I suspect the answer would be “probably”. At the time when passes were being sent out to the breed club representatives we were in the throes of a postal strike and the Kennel Club took the sensible precaution of not including car park passes in the envelopes. It transpires that the car park tickets had to be paid for in advance and it would have cost the KC a considerable sum of money as it is not possible to get a refund on pre-paid car park tickets.
Although a plan of the layout had been included in the breed club envelopes it was not an easy task locating the 7 Groups upon entering at the dog entrance. This was due to the fact that, unlike its newer sister, the ‘original’ building has several pillars which obscure ones’ vision and it was impossible to see the huge banners hanging over the booths of the respective Groups. Perhaps next year there will be several large maps adjacent to all the various entrances with a large ‘you are here’ arrow to assist both exhibitors and visitors in locating their eventual destinations.

THE SCIENCE AND TECHNIQUES OF
JUDGING DOGS
Judging requires a detailed, secure knowledge of not only breed standards and type, but canine anatomy, physiology,
and topology as well.
Dr. Berndt has written a unique 268 page book for everyone considering judging. He covers structure, movement and breed type in detail, and then discusses issues that judges face, such as how to run an efficient ring and cope with the stress of travel
and decision making.
Vital for exhibitors and breeders who want to better evaluate their own dogs and understand a judge's perspective, as well as for current and prospective judges.

UK judge’s library. Spiral binding makes it easy to keep open for quick reference on the table during an assignment.

Georgina's off to Crufts
Georgina Ferguson, Junior Handler of the Year winner, pictured with the judge Paul Eardley
Winner 2009 - Georgina Ferguson
The Junior Handler of the Year finals, supported by Agria Pet Insurance, was held in conjunction with Discover Dogs in London for the second year running. This time, though DD had upgraded from
Earls Court 2 to Earls Court 1, where there was more space for stalls and rings.
Mr. Eardley walked promptly over to Georgina Ferguson, from Surrey, with her BSD ‘Dante’ to shake her hand and award her Junior Handler of the Year 2009. A huge cheer followed, as the judge gave the nod to Jodi Allen and her pointer for runner-up. 3rd was awarded to Helen Rishworth, 4th last year’s winner, Hollie Kavanagh, 5th was an improved position for Jenni Tobijanski and 6th for Vikki Clarke.
The presentations were then made in the ring, and this an extra presentation to Jodi Allen, who was awarded the Treetops Shield for the handler who qualified the most times for the JHA semi-finals. Jodi qualified 40 times for the Richmond semi-finals, an excellent achievement.
After the presentation and photos, all the finalists were asked to take a lap of honour.
