Day means lots of running and more running.... ;)If no one knows yet I have some problems about those messure sticks...I wonder why? :D So I saw that judge was start to messure all the dogs, not so good day for us I was thinking. Finally it was our turn to enter the ring. I know everytime when judges start to messure Arttu it means us only VG so I have not big hopes for us. I was so suprise when the judge give us excellent besides the tall...and placed first in champion class. In the end she placed us BM1 but then she said that there is too much tall for the BOB so Arttu was BOS. BOB was veteran bitch Malozi Fahamika.
