4.10.2008 Sighthound club show
judge: Abdelrahim el Barudi (Marocco)
Club winner female: Cassiopea Spirit of Millenium + BOB
Club winner male: Northgate´s As You Like It

Entered were 31 Pharaoh hounds but many didn´t came for really awful weather. There was grass just after raining, strong wind and around 8 Celsius degrees... nothing for PHs :-). Winnining this competition was very nice for us but then another two hours waiting for finals in stronger and stronger cold was really cruel :-)

5.10.2008 Sighthound specialty show
judge: Norman Huidobro (E)
BOB: Northgate´s As You Like It

Again entered 31 Pharaoh hounds but about half of them didn´t come. Kesi got again like on EW Ex.2, res.CAC - beated again by Farao Anubis Nemesis Divina.

To both club shows we took also Bruno just to get used on atmosphere of shows. On Saturday after long traveling, his first big occasion, thousands dogs and people and rush.. in afternoong one hour spent in cold weather and Bruno was already tired and also fractious. Judge was to my opinion very strict to 4months old puppy and he made Bruno very frightened and scared. So on Sunday we resignated for Specialty and only asked judge after judging PHs to look at him and touch him. I´m very happy that Saturday´s bad experience didn´t stigmatize him and he did great :o)
