Holland Cup in Amsterdam on 14-12-2018. 9 Bearded Collies were registered for the young Hungarian Robert Kotlar. Driving to this exhibition on a Friday in Amsterdam is not really funny. Morning traffic jam and even more traffic jam in the evening. Xavier Pottiex has made the journey of 250 km and exhibited his “Multi Ch. Firstprizebears Proud Percy” here. “Percy” was in the very best and shows his beautiful movement. Actually, we spectators were of one opinion: this champion class had to win Percy. Regrettably, the judge thought otherwise and Percy was 3rd of the 3rd Champion males. Berry Hoenstok, who lives around the corner, had a better time. He won the Junior Class with his “Firstprizebears Q’Johnny Depp” and fulfilled the conditions for the Dutch Junior Champion with this 3rd junior CAC.

On Sunday at the Winner Amsterdam Show on 16-12-18, 15 Bearded Collies were registered for Christina Bailey / GB. She is a famous breeder of Zottels Old Englsich Sheepdogs and also bred a litter Bearded collies. Berry nerves make sure that “Ovin” “Firstprizebears Q’Johnny Depp” plays the clown. The judge succeeded in calming his master and dog: Winner of youth class, youth winner Amsterdam and top: reserve best male at the tender age of 13 months. This day still had a grand finale. Tony Groenendijk a longtime best friend of Berry and of Arie Dijhuizen the co-owner of Ovin had time and to exhibit him in the Ring of Honour. It was about the Best Juniordog of the groups 1 to 10 and Best in Show Young Dog. Tony is a VERY long-established exhibitor and unlike Berry has the peace and is calm. Tony and “Ovin” formed a dream team in the ring of honor and “Ovin” won the group 1 of the young dogs and came in the last 6th in the Best in Show competition. This team around “Ovin” promises an exciting future

The last show of the year is always Wychen. It used to be there, now it’s Venray / Nl but everyone still says Wychen’s Christmas show. Mrs Anita Gielisse from the Netherlands judged the 20 registered Beaded Collies on 22.12.2018. She herself is a famous Borzoi breeder, who also regularly shows her dogs very successfully. In my opinion, she judged the first time the Bearded Collies. For our 2 registered Firstprizebears it was the culmination of a very successful exhibition year. Mrs. Gielisse judges very strictly and gave also very good and good as rating. For me it would have liked even much less excellent. The result of the day was:
