We don't have many shows here at this time of the year. The Great Dane Club held an Open Show on the 21st of November at Coventry. Best In Show went to Mrs. Musetta Saville's harlequin bitch, Pepperharrow Phyllis. She was handled by Matte Pakerinen and she won Open Bitch and Harlequin Bitch. She was bred by Musetta and sired by Ch. Batworth Tormento at Metrella and out of Pepperharrow Phlanders.

The entries for our Breed at Crufts on March 12th have now been published and we have an entry of 237 dogs and bitches for the judge who is Geoff Burton.

The entries for several Championship Shows are closing very soon or have just closed and some are outdoors, so, maybe Spring is just around the corner.

Until next time ~
