EUROPEAN WINNERS SHOW 2009 Is being held over four days. The Neapolitan Mastiff is showing today (Sunday) and being judged by (Mr Stelios Makaritis (Greece), so hopefully the judging standard will be more competent than what was displayed earlier this year at Crufts. Weather forecast is for a hot 21-23 degrees...
The historic halls have hosted many important events over the years and from Saturday, this show, one of the Irish Dogs Show community’s most special events will be hosted in the great surroundings of the Royal Dublin Society Show grounds. Good luck to all who are attending especially our members from UGM.. I know Phil is attending but unfortunatly not showing, hopefully we will see some great photos posted later today.

There was 1 male in Puppy Class i think from Vallino but i dont recall who it is as i did not get a catalogue I think that Foo Fighter may also have won Junior European Champion
TBH i tried to get pics but the ring was half inside a marquee and half outside and the sun was so bright it was impossible to get decent pics.
I will have a check later to see if i got any decent ones. I got some video of most the show so will see how it went as it may be the same as pics are. Hard to tell until i playback on comp Good Luck
TBH Alex it was rather disapointing to see only 14 at such a show as the european winner, and this meant certain dogs placed much better than they should have due to 1 and 2 dog classes. I do however see alot of difference in type and construction especially heads between certain dogs there today and what i have seen in italy. 1 female could not see where she was going and when the owner turned in the ring while moving she tripped over her own feet when she got pulled unexpectedly, thankfully the judge seen it and placed her last.
It was very hot though and some of the entries did not do so well due to that, I dont think the judge knew much about the breed either as he should have made allowances due to this fact, especially when he was making them move alot more than i have seen in any show before. 1 english buldog dropped dead in the ring about 1 hr before neos were in the same ring and the neo were in when it was much hotter. Good Luck
He made fragolino run round loads of times when frago was already beat with heat, my heart goes out to the wee bulldog poor thing The jealous are troublesome to others, but a torment to themselves!

Yeah we were in the marquee in the shade and it was bloody hot and ice cream was 2 and 1/2 euro each. I was surprised that the kids stuck it so long in such heat. It was a better day for the beach than a stinky old dog show LMAO.
Normally i see a round the ring and a up and down but today he had em go round the ring a couple times as a group and then do the round the ring solo and up and down solo and then another few times round the ring as a group again Good Luck
