Chihuahuas
Being
a judge is not an easy
task. People love you and speak good about you if they win, otherwise
for them you don't understand anything. It's really rare to find
objective people. Of course you can do mistakes but the principal thing
is to be honest. I think it's the main point for to be a judge, of
course one must have a good eye to dogs too.
I prefer to judge
abroad. There you don't know anyone and you enjoy more. I like very much
the system that the scandinavian people use. I'm glad to have judged
there often. They are very well organized and they have a very good
level in toydogs. Many of 9th group breeds have beautiful speciments:
Poodles, Bichons, Papillons, Tibetan Spaniels, Chihuahuas. Their
breeding program I value much: they give much attention to the sound
construction.
Papillon
National Specialty BIS, Finland 2001
In
Italy we have a very good level too, especially we have
beautiful Shih-Tzus, different type than in many other countries, but really elegant and sound
dogs. Their lines
come from the USA. Also in Poodles and Pugs we are
getting little by little high quality dogs. There is also
a very good level in Lhasa Apsos and Maltese even though
we don't have many breeders in them, many of the big
winners in Europe are of Italian breeding!
On
June 24th 2000 I had the pleasure and honour to judge the
Standard Poodles in the World Show in Milan. There was
present very high quality Poodles in the blacks and whites. Excellent coats that were well
trimmed. I was
extremely happy later to see my BOB winner white Standard
Poodle (a male bred in Finland) win the group and later
become Res-BIS from 15.000 dogs entered. In the silver
and apricot Poodles I found some nice speciments, but in
general the coats were too soft and not elastic. For sure
it was a great experience that gave me big emotions!!
Il
24 Giugno 2000 ho avuto il piacere e l'onore di giudicare
i Barboni Grande Mole all'Esposizione Mondiale di Milano.
Ho avuto un'altissima qualità nei Bianchi e nei Neri.
Ottimi mantelli, ben preparati. Con immenso piacere ho
visto il BOB scelto tra i neri, marroni e bianchi (un
maschio bianco di allevamento finlandese), vincere il
raggruppamento e risultare il secondo miglior soggetto
assoluto tra gli oltre 15.000 partecipanti. Tra i grigi e
gli albicocca c'erano dei buoni soggetti, anche se in
generale ho trovato peli con tessiture soffici e non
elastiche.
Certamente
una grossa esperienza che mi ha dato enormi emozioni!
