More great news from Slovakia!

The Slovakian Specialty for Swiss Mountain & Cattle Dogs was held the day after the WDS in hotel Kamila in Bratislava.
There was a nice entry of all four swiss breeds and 105 Bernese were presented at the show. Again Skumppa won the open class with CAC and this made him a Slovakian Champion only in one weekend! But this wasn’t everything… Skumppa also won Best Of Breed and was runner up for BISS after a Greater Swiss!

World Dog Show in Bratislava

* Saturday, October 10th, 2009

This year the World Dog Show 2009 was held in October in Slovakia. It was a long journey – over 1700km one way – but that didn’t stop family Kerman for travelling. The show had the biggest entry ever and Bernese were the fifth most popular breed of the whole show with 268 entries. Berner people seem to be crazy about dog shows almost everywhere :-)

It was nerve-wracking to stay at home and wait for the results and not knowing what was happening there… But then finally I received a phone call; Ch. Funatic Taittinger had won the open dog class and took CAC at the World Dog Show 2009 in Bratislava under Mrs. Lisbeth Mach!  Last year he won the intermediate class at the WDS in Sweden and now the huge open class (39 entries). I’m so proud of you Skumppa, Kaisa and Rituli!!!
