There were 19 Red and Whites entered under our German Judge, Mrs Bettina Smith Horn - 10 dogs and 9 bitches. This was a bigger entry then the Red setter one.
We also had some overseas dogs and bitches competing together with our dogs for the titles. The winning and dog and bitch are from Great Britain and are good representatives for the breed, great wins for them. This year’s Best of Breed went to Mrs Jane Valentine’s home breed Tullamore Ted (JW), and the green star bitch award went to the Barcroft’s GB.Sh.Ch. Ballakkinnish Mistinguette (CW 08). It was a great event on a very pleasant sunny day.
Ms. Christiane Lohmann was also present as an aspiring learner judge; she was also one of our next day’s Field Trial judges. It is fair to say that both judges were very impressed with the quality and beauty of all the R&W present. Spectators from Sweden and France made this a truly European Red and White event.
