Donaueschingen Sighthound Festival - Germany

Donaueschingen Sighthound Festival
August 4th , 2012


What a competition, what an atmosphere, what a show, what a weekend!

Skibberdeen's Bryanne went CC, Best Bitch, Best of Breed and BEST IN SHOW on Saturday from an exceptionally strong entry of irish wolfhounds and sighthounds. Bryanne was bred by Crista Hermsen of the Netherlands out of the son x mother combination; Skibberdeen's Rudolph x Pitlochry's Venus.

Best Male was the Pitlochry's Catweazle offsrping, Just In Time of First Avenue from the champion class of three excellent males. Second in the class was Pitlochry's Sting and 3rd was Skibberdeen's Rudolph. What a class!

Our youngster Pitlochry's Irish Gipsey made it to a 3rd place from a very strong open class, second was Cualainn Huldah behind Bryanne.

Breed and Best in Show judge was Lisbeth Mach from Switzerland.
