At City of Birmingham Liz Cartledge judged the breed. It didnt get off to the best of starts as our Junior World Winner 10, Selmalda Im Yours, owned in partnership with John, Heather and Candice Dyson, was unplaced in Junior - there is a first for everything! Selmalda I Am Rock J.W. topped a cracking Limit dog class, Judy Thurlby with Selmalda Dream Baby Dream At Justinian was third in Junior and our own Selmalda Rock Ola Baby J.W. was second in Limit. However the Selmalda team of Rocco, Ola, Ralf and Daisy won the Breeders class and then won the Working Breeders Group overall under Terry Nethercott, beating off stiff competition! Many thanks for all the support and words of encouragement ringside and to our own photographer extraordinaire Judi Cottam! Judge Liz Cartledge wrote about Rocco afterwards - His good side movement won him the class. Well proportioned head, good length of foreface, strong hindquarters which he put to good use when moving, ample bone, well sprung ribs, well conditioned and handled.

Always a relaxed atmosphere at this show and we managed to get our tents ringside which kept the dogs cool and comfortable. Anne Morris judged the dogs and Selmalda Im Yours JWW10 topped a cracking Junior dog class, this dog is maturing very nicely and is becoming a force to be reckoned with. Selmalda I Am Rock JW was placed second in Limit dog and eventually won the RCC, his fifth! Lets just say the bitches didnt fair as well under Pat Jacobs! Again we topped the Breeders class with Ola, Rocco, Lola and Ralf and our continued appreciation to the Dysons for their support in this competition. Judge Anne Morris wrote about Ralf - Compact Fawn who stands foresquare, good head with dark eyes and mask with a kind expression, well made all through with good balance in angles with back and loin length to compliment, nice croup and flat boned legs on tight feet, moves animatedly, an honest youngster.

Gitte Finch Pederson judged the bitches and in Junior bitch we had litter sisters competing amongst the nineteen entries. Selmalda In The Name Of Love, Brindle, was graded EXCELLENT but unplaced, but resident Dane Selmalda Too Funky, again EXCELLENT, made it to the last four and eventually placed third. In Open bitch there were thirty entrants! Selmalda Rock Ola Baby JW, EXCELLENT, made the cut, the last four and then placed second overall!
