Today we went to the Winnershow in Amsterdam, the biggest show in Holland with nearly 5000 dogs.

There were 9 Curlies entered, and Bruiser started wonderfull by winning his 3rd junior point, and by winning the class he became Dutch Junior Champion ! By winning his class he also got the title Junior Winner '09. Then he met a Champion dog, he won over this champion his 3rd and 4th CAC (this show is a double), and the title Winner '09. Then he got best of Breed, and in the main ring he was in the selection of the 9 best dogs, not bad at only 11 months!

He also won his first CAC, and veteran CAC, and the title Winner '09. Best bitch was Marmalade's Dutch Diva (Abby) from Trudi Willems and Dick Koster.

Today I received the result of the DNA test for Herbie, he is CLEAR of Primary Lens Luxation!!!

Today I went to one of Belgiums largest dog shows, and it was Bruiser's first show abroad. 3 Curlies were entered, but 2 were absent, so by getting the qualification "Excellent" Bruiser became Best of Breed. He performed super in the main ring and did his furst "adult" winning, he became 3rd Best in Group.

I'm very proud of him as he is only just 11 months old!
