At the SKK Nat show in Öland, Kenya won the juniorclass with CK and then best bitch with the certificate. She went on to win her first BOB beating the new champion male Lacilla's Alfalfa. As if that wasn't enough she also picked up a Group 1!! Now we had to stay, and managed to find accomodation at Böda Hotell for the night. Back on the Sunday late afternoon for the Best in Show final, she was quite tired and unfocused. Together with 4 other group winners we ended up as BIS-6 winning a huge rosette, but still happy for the oppurtunity to take part.

Our day at the Södra Dalmatiner-Sällskapets Specialty show the 22nd of July, this year at Herrevads kloster for the first time, was not as fun as we had hoped for. We ended the day at Helsingborgs Animal Hospital with Kenya needing veterinary attention for an abcess on her left cheek that had grown alarmingly in size over a couple of hours in the hot weather. Needless to say she didn't show that well but still managed to get HP in juniorclass placing 4th and last. Tilda was also entered at this show, in open class and did well at her show debut. She managed to get a first price but was not placed in the big open class with 18 bitches. But we are pleased with her performence and she enjoyed the day out, especially socializing at ring side. Lena also showed Zacco (Bell-A-Mir's Elegant Envoy) in intermediate class which he won with CK, and then ended up as 4th best male. Judge was Mr Keith Nathan, GB and 100 Dalmatians, including puppies, were entered.

Todays judge was Mrs Margaret Mulholland, GB and 70 Dalmatians entered, including puppies. BOB was Ch Ekryda Herkules amd BOS Ch Timanka's Playmate.
