Our work-a-holic Nova has a very good result with only beyond expectations at her puppy exam.
We are very proud of this little lovely working puppy with no fear.

International Dogshow Rijnland - Daimond edition

Minor puppy class: 1 Very Promised, Best Minor Puppy of breed, 3th Best Minor Puppy in Show - Rijnland Minor Daimond 2025
Judge: M. Vermeire (BE)
BIS minor Judge: W. Hell-Frijters (NL)

She went in the foodsteps of her mum. Same age, same location, same results, but different judge. It was like a dream, our first offspring Nova did it.
Only 4 months old, and it was her first time at a dog show. No fear, and great will to work. She was full focus on her job, and on me. We are so proud of her.

Back from our road trip to Engeland.
Saterday, we drove very early to Calais, to by in time for the train to Folkestone. We had a very quick drive to our hotel in Tamworth near Birmingham.

Sunday, we went to the Crufts. They were a lot of Smooth Collies. Enya started in an open class in a big strong. She did really great, she showed free and full attention. Unfortunately, there was no placing for us, but we got a lot of lovely comments from the judge and people around the ring.
After the show, we went back to the hotel.

Monday, we drove to Folkestone and stayed at a very nice camping. We did a nice hike on the chalk cliffs and beautiful beach with Enya.
After a nice diner at the promonade, we did go back to our mobilhome. It was the first time that we slept in this very nice mobile home.

On Tuesday, we drove back to our homeplace. Back to our other furry friends, they stayed at home with my mum.
