I hope to be posting a link soon to a more extensive gallery of the World Dog Show Cluster Shows.
 

Immediately following is the link to Patrica Alsina's "full" article on her travels which include her thoughts as the World Dog Show Judge in Stockholm. I have taken the liberty to excerpt a few lines specifically poignant to JOVAL. Our sincere thanks to Patricia and her husband Roberto for their recognition of JOVAL dogs in Sweden... and thank you VERY much for the kind words below...

...Roberto's Best of Breed was an American female. His comment: "Gorgeous. She caught my eye as soon she entered the ring in the open class". It seems that he was quite right, since the same bitch won the breed both at the Group Show (judged by the Irish judge Kealy Susan), and in my own ring at the World Show on Saturday...

...judged Airedales (101) on Saturday, and the same bitch was my best of breed. She's exquisite, beautiful type and quality, absolutely sound, excellent grooming and an unusual attitude: her breeder-owner handler did not touch her at all, she posed by herself. "Fix your feet", she said, and the dog did it! Amazing! This bitch made the final cut (only 7 exhibits) in the competitive terrier group, which ultimately produced the Best in Show dog) She was the same bitch that won best of breed at Crufts earlier this year...

JOVAL Cast a Golden Shadow  "Mason"

We had another good day yesterday with Mason... he was Best of Breed under Norweigan Judge Petter Steen (a kerry breeder).
Mason also was pulled out in the first round of 8 or 10 in the group. The Group Judge was Lilian Lleton (a scottie breeder), who former wife of Kevin Brown,
so she "should" know how a good Airedale should look. We were very pleased with that!

... Congratulations Dodo and AnnChristin !
