💜 Retiring in style 🥹🥺✨
2 weeks ago we came from Monaco’s International; yes it’s taken me 2 weeks to assume that’s another chapter coming to an end.
May has been intense: many km driven, much joy by catching up with the team, a few new Champions at home, and a little sorrow, since I knew something was about to change soon, but with conviction and pride knowing that I did what is right.
On May 8th, my friend and co-owner Erika and me, spent half of the weekend with our girl India, her half-sister Valkia and her granny Musa. We visited beautiful places and enjoyed our time in Monaco 🇲🇨.
On May 9th, under judge Alberto Cuccillato (IT) and 18 Dalmatians entered, my girls did a a good job:
India- BISS JBIS Multi JCh Pawppaloosa Everywhere LUA, in Open class at almost 2,5 years old, was Exc.
She didn’t make it, but we enjoyed together, as usual.
Valkia- JCh Pawppaloosa Fireworks LUA N/N, in Junior class at 14 months old, made me proud by getting Exc1 JCACIB and BEST JUNIOR OF OPPOSITE S*X!🏵️
With these results, she’s now MONACO JUNIOR CHAMPION and INTERNATIONAL JUNIOR CHAMPION (ph)!🏆
.and what can I say about our Musa, that became Spain Veteran Champion only 2 weeks before; standing there, giving me her all as she uses to do:
Musa- VCh Multi Ch JBISS Gwynmor Kahlua to Pawppaloosa, in Veteran class at 9 years old, was Exc1 VCACIB and BEST VETERAN OF BREED🏵️ with outstanding comments from the judge.
Thanks to this, she turned into MONACO VETERAN CHAMPION and INTERNATIONAL VETERAN CHAMPION (ph)!🏆
Retiring my veteran dogs when they’re still doing well, when they’re up at their top, healthy and strong, looking at me with so much pride and love and enjoying the ring, is something I promised myself way so long ago. I did the same when the time came for Dom, after a short but sucessful time in Veteran class, and now is her turn.
How lovely it was and how beautiful we did it..my black queen. Too short. 9 years in the ring with you flew by, and together, we got what you really deserve as the wonderful, amazing girl you are. I’ll never forget our last runs in Valladolid and Monaco.
How I enjoy with you.
A well-deserved retirement.
Needing to digest it.
Eternally grateful to Annemiek and Rhys Morgans for entrusting me with Musa-
Multi VCh Multi Ch JBISS RJBIS Gwynmor Kahlua to Pawppaloosa 💜
