Crufts, Birmingham, England

In March we had only one show to enter, but Crufts 2011 became a dream come true! We went all the way to Birmingham and our Sara - Int Nord Ch JWW-08 NV-08-09-10 KBHV-09 WW-10 NORDV-10 Showline Sporting Step went on to win bitch CC and BOB under Gerd Flyckt Pedersen, Hubbestad, USA! To our knowledge, Sara is the very first Norwegian owned sighthound to win BOB at Crufts! This was her second show in the UK and her second CC and BOB!

Thanks a million to our judge Gerd Flyckt Pedersen for making this possible, for the great support ringside and the many greetings and kind remarks ticking in worldwide. You all made this day to a very special one!

Gerd Flyckt-Pedersen reports about Sara in Dog World; "An extremely attractive lady of the highest calibre! Lovely feminine head, long elegant neck. Good body with excellent depth and tuck-up. Shown in great form and expertly handled. Moved freely and efficiently. CC & BOB."
