24-26 November 2023
Busy weekend at the dogshows in Leeuwarden with agility, show and gundog demo. Yoyo ran two days agility trials and was close to qualifying runs. The noise of the speaker made it difficult for Michael to give Yoyo verbal commands.
Bumble had her debut in the showring. She was very naughty and jumping all over but both judges saw some quality and have her 1st Very Promising and best puppy.
Gundog demo in between where Yoyo, Sting and Bumble presented the breed. Bumble was the star, she was concentrated and showed the crowd the gundog basics.

Making breed history at the NIMROD 2023.
Sting had difficulties with the tests and unfortunately he couldn't show his best. We had a great weekend with friends and although he couldn't shine, he still is my star!
Thank you all for the presents and support to make this weekend very special!
