It is interesting, when there is an intrigue and guesses turn to be wrong. May be we should start gambling, who is going to win? Your chances to win are low! So, official results of our kennel are the following:
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!
