Windsor's Second Dog Show

Free Translation

Windsor's second show in Heidelberg went well.  Out of the three ratings he could have received: "Very Good"..."Good"..."Disqualified", Windsor got the "Good" rating.  The judge said that he had too much hair on his legs (a German no-no) and that his tail stood too erect. (Haven't quite understood that comment yet) That second rating did not qualify him to compete in the "Best of Breed" category, but he did well nonetheless.

This is Windsor's "baby" hold, when he starts barking or whinning at the other dogs. I have to rock him like a baby to get him to stop. Germans don't like the dogs to make noise. (Strange, huh?)

Above left we see the judge looking over Windsor. On the right he is examining his teeth (A big deal over here).
