Estjak Estrela and Tornjak Mountain Dogs

Our drive home hasn't been quite as much fun as the one coming but we managed some nice walks and a wolf park visit (unfortunately the dogs weren't allowed in). Always a nice woodland in Germany.

Team Estjak have been on a road trip and we have travelled to Bologna Italy for the World Dog show. We have 4 dogs with us. Before I post results I thought I would share some photos of the dogs having some beautiful walks on the way here.

A little delayed post as we have been a bit busy with WDS prep but on Sunday we made the long drive to Bath Champion show in Batheaston. Only our 3 estrelas entered. For a hot day they did exceptionally well.

Both girls behaved and won their classes.

Alva was handled by Mark in Breed with Tara on Belle but Tara then took Alva in the group.

Thank you both for your expert handling and also thanks to Tara for getting us to the show safely and thank you Gary for our placings.

I think the girls enjoyed their day out, for a change it wasn't too hot so they had a nice breeze in the shade of a tree.
