This years Specialty was perhaps even more successful for our kennel then the ones last years. The males were judged by Mrs. Clifford from Great Britain. Three of our males were entered with the following great result.

The females were judged by Mrs. Beenen-Sluijters from Holland. Only one female from our kennel was entered. Ancor de Bruine Buck is only 11 months old (at the moment of the show) and was never entered before. She got the following outstanding result in Young Class (9-18 months):

On Sunday the Groenendael puppies were also judged by Mrs. Beenen-Sluijters and our young male Quinto-Rival de Bruine Buck got best Groenendael puppy.

During the selection on Sunday, Storm de Bruine Buck got selected (hip score, character test and U+) pE. With this result the mother of Storm, Kim de Bruine Buck got the title Elite A.

The offspring of our males also did great during this show.

In the period of the show three great females got mated to our males: Black Hawkwind’s Onatop (Jason de la Douce Plaine x Isadora du Bois du Ponty) from Ronny Eliassen, Norway has been mated to Storm de Bruine Buck.

Palmyre de la Tangi Morgane (Master Blaster de Condivicnum x Linka des Corins d’Ancenis) from C. Pichon, France has been mated to Bentho ibn Greco de Bruine Buck.

Vanistica French Confetti (Milan de la Closerie de Yenda x Vanistica Brie de Meaux) from Paul and Lorna England, Great Britain has been mated to Boetsch de Bruine Buck.

We want to thank everyone who made this weekend as special as it was!!

During the international dogshow in Hulten pE Storm de Bruine Buck (Otomne de la Douce Plaine x Elite A Kim de Bruine Buck ) got 1U CAC/CACIB and herewith the title Dutch Champion. This is already the third male from Kim that got this title and the third one that got selected "pE" in Holland. That Storm deserved this title by winning the CAC at the Dutch Specialty makes it even more special. We congratulate the owners Anita en Johan Neervoort with this excellent result and hopefully we will see some of the great qualities in his offspring.
