Time for a small update after 3 days of showing dogs in TULLN Austria:
5 shows in 3 days – 1 male dog with no brain (Tuppi) and a 6 months female in heat (Kailie). I will NEVER do that again.
But thanks to a superb effort from my travel companion Pia Yvonne, we managed to have a great trip anyway. I had Tuppi in my room, and Pia Yvonne was kind enough to take Kailie into her room along with Jolie and F***y.
On Friday morning, before the first show, we met another Pia (Rødvig), set up a "Danish camp" in Hall 5, and were able to help each other out with our 6 dogs.
Unfortunately, I didn't get the desired results with Tuppi "No Brain," but he actually did okay despite the lack of a brain and his focus being anywhere but the ring.
Thanks to Pia Yvonne for all her help with Tuppi.

Kailie didn't compete in the Main Ring on any of the days, as I felt 5 shows was plenty for the little lady, who was in heat.
She received fantastic critiques at every show and had a blast all 5 times she was in the ring 🙂
