Ann Macdonald reports:
"Group 3 cose up and another which impressed was the Greyhound, Int Nord Ch Showline Sporting Step, judged this bitch in her home country of Norway earlier this year where she won the sighthound group under me and then Best in Show. So elegant in outline and graceful, light and easy on the move, defines the Standard so well, she was up against very strong competition here and I was splitting hairs to separate the place of winners. A great showgirl I much admire, who was beautifully presented and handled!"
2010 has been a fantastic year for Sara and us. In the strong "Team Sara" there are many we want to say THANK YOU! To everyone who have kept their fingers crossed before a show and then lots of congratulations and nice remarks after her many wins. Nutrition is of course of great impontance and the ProPlan team have done their best! Also a big thank you to our friend Wenche at www.AquaDog.no who have worked so nice with Sara on the water trademill with great success.
