Dog show in Genoa

Last Sunday was the all breeds show, I was judging just all the poodles - and my goodness they not only divide them by size (4 sizes) but by color also. Which meant in an entry of 35 or so there was not a lot of competition in some of the varieties. But as usual there were some very good ones and some not so great. I finnished judging in time to go and watch the beagles be judged and as I was all finished I could socialize with the exhibitors - some of whom we had met before and others who were new to us. The main winner of the weekend was Paola Nuciari and you can see photos of her BOB/Group winning girl on her website. Other exhibitors were Paolo & Sara of Dell' Etruria ; Graziella Cava of Hera Bay who had made a VERY long drive, just to come and meet us! and Gabriele Vadi of de Fonti Posca . The judging panel was also full of Beagle people as there was Marion Spavin from Britain Dialynne; and Joachim Eberhardt of Germany also a beagle breeder from the past.
There are only a couple of photos on the website for the all breeds show - more to come apparently, so check back if you are interested.
