The Norwegian Kennel Club, Kristiansand

The only show for us in May was The Kristiansand International, The Norwegian Kennel Club. As Knut was judging The Whippet Club in France on Saturday, there were an unique team and great planning resulting some excellent wins! The very clever junior handler Patrick Oware handled Sara - Int Nord Ch JWW-08 NV-08-09-10 KBHV-09 WW-10 NORDV-10 Showline Sporting Step to BOB and Cecilie handled her winning the group, both under Bjørg Foss, Xciting Whippets. Early Sunday morning Knut took a long taxi trip to the airport in Paris, then off to Oslo Gardermoen and the next flight to Kristiansand, arriving the showground some 20 minutes before the BIS finale! Sara ended up as BIS4 under Annika Ulltveit-Moe. This was an important win, as it was Sara's group win no 30 and BIS/BIS-placement no 27! Thank you to everyone involved and the great support making all this possible! We all know that very little can stop doggy people!
