BOB at The Sporting Terrier Show

Hi Mette,
I took Zalazar Un Zipped! At Starveren to the Sporting Terrier Show today and won BOB, his daughter Shelby won B/P.
Louise Peers was judging.
I was thrilled to get short listed and the judge deliberated between Uzi and the Border Terrier for group 4 and then gave it to the Border.
All the top terrier kennels were there and the borders had an excellent entry and the border terrier winner was a very nice new Champion.
So I was very pleased with that.
Love,
Mary & a very tired Uzi.

Extract of Judge James Reynolds Critique From MCKC:

Almost immediately I realized that I was going to be back at the issue of size when I went over Ch. Zalazar Walk the Line, a dog which I had never seen before. This is a stallion of a dog with a gorgeous, head, eye, and bone. He is dead sound with a topline which is a delight and a bang-up tail which he never stops carrying up and showing. He would emerge as BOB, looked fantastic in the BIS ring and made the cut. Later a judge from England approached me and told me that he had made him best in Stockholm at the World Cairn Show this year—quite a year for an eighteen month old dog.

Zalazar On Parade went reserve

At DKK's International show in Hillerød Zalazar On Parade went reserve. The winner bitch Hellebäckens Bellona ended up as BOB and BIG1. Roadie was third in open class.
When I left the show I drove along the coast from Helsingor and I made a stop to let the dogs have a good walk. It was SO BEAUTIFUL ! We walked though the woods for about an hour (I did hope that we were walking more or less parallel with the coast road) . I came by an old water mill, creeks and lakes and finally we got out on the costal road and we got down on the beach and walk all the way back along the sea with Kronborg Castle in the horizon . It was so beautiful - I feel so alive now and I almost didn't wanted the day to end. Then I ended up in Hillerod where I took some pictures of Frederiksborg Castle in the backlight from the sunset. I took about a million pictures (maybe not , but many) with my cell phone and I am pretty impressed how the quality is.
