Fabulous start of the month!

We have visited Denmark, Germany, Belgium and Austria for some shows in the last few months. It was about time to go a bit more West so we decided to go to the UK for a showtrip.

We picked one of those magical Champ Shows with a great venue: Windsor Champshow at Windsor Castle.

We were thrilled that our Multi.Ch.Lab'SPb Gazprom was placed 1st in a strong Open Class and went on to the win the CC and BOB!!!

Huge thanks to the judge and to the friendly English people for the ringsupport. We hope to be back soon.
