Overall, not bad. We are happy for the wonderful debut of Gunnar - Young Champion Of the Club! Our sincere greetings to Borg's son (and Belle du Mont Kailasa) - Barklay iz Galkina Gnezda, who became the Club Champion! (All results and photos see at www.leonberger.ru). According to the sum of 2006 Club shows total results, our greetings to Rua Soleil Abrau-Diurso, who became The best Female -2006! (I had to get the prize, as Diurso cut her paw and missed the show). To my opinion, the atmosphere at the show was much more friendly, less competitive. It is great, that the new dogs were winning!

 

February 25 and 25 the biggest International Show in Russia Eurasia1 and Eurasia-2 took place in Moscow.  28 leonbergers participated during the first day and 25 - in the second one. Rosa has won the junior female class both days and twice became The Best Junior. Hammer got RCACIB  the first day, and on the second - CACIB and became Best of Breed. We are proud that Rua Soleil Abrau-Diurso (Borg x Diva), became The Best Female of Eurasia-2!  Congratulations to Rua Soleil Yukka - the open class winner, RCACIB at Eurasia -1! Our congratulations to Vlassa, daughter of Borg and Khloya, who got  CACIB and became The Best female of Eurasia-1! We are happy that Borg's progenies- Barklai iz Galkina Gnezda and Eremei iz Poselka Sokol`became the winners of junior male class at the first and the second day respectively.
