Petra Hähner writes about her 2 Firstprizebeers:

1.7.17 National Meisdorf / GER, Judge: Lisbeth Mach, made our “Scotty” Jch.Firstprizebears Pat Boone” in the intermediate class Exc.1, CAC and our” Pam “Firstprizebears Pamela Andersson” unfortunately got her first sg1, it was also Unfortunately not her day and she was very unsure of herself.

On Sunday the 2nd of July there was an evening show in Echt / Netherlands. This is 6 km from my home. The judge Mr. Van Daele from Belgium could not persuade me to show. But Monika Fuss with her “Firstprizebears Pikes Peak” has taken the risk. The weather was lovely. When the weather is great, a show in the open is always something special. So it was in Echt.

Monika and “Pikes” ran a great course and won the youth class males. However, Mr van Daele was of the opinion that “Pike” is not yet fully developed and gave him a completely inadequate VERY GOOD. The youth class is from 9 to 18 months and as the name says: youth, so not yet adult. Maybe he had missed it

Xavier Pottiez is currently having great success with “Firstprizebears Proud Percy“.

On 15.7 he took him to the Int. Show in Dunkirk / France, the judge was the Dutchman G. Jipping. Percy won the CACIB, CAC, BOS over all male dogs from the Open and Champion class. In the open class, Deborah Raquet was there with “Firstprizebears Orlando”, who won the Open Class.

Only a week later the double show took place in Liège / BEL. On the first day the Irishman John Walsh Junior judged the 19 Beardies. The unluckiest person of the day was Monika Fuss with her wonderful “Firstprizebears Pikes Peak“. Monika was nervous and stressed, and so Pike was also restless. He bounced while running and is also very thin. This resulted in a 3rd place with Very good. Too bad.

“Proud Percy” won the intermediate class. But the highlight for a lot of Beardie guys was the victory of “Firstprizebears Orlando Bloom” over a certain other dog in the champion class. Although I was just a spectator, I was greeted with hugs and congratulations from all sides.
