Sydney Royal - Best of Breed 2010

The Sydney Royal was one of the most well attended for our breed ever! With 19 dogs showing, it was wonderful to see so many Lappies all in the ring and showcasing the breed to the public.

Janoby Kennels did very well, winning Best of Breed (BOB) with Aust Champion Janoby All About Aslann - a real treat for their gorgeous blue boy!.

Our good friends at Janoby won Best of Breed with Aust Ch Janoby All About Aslann (Aslann) then followed up with the Bitch Challenge win with Aust Ch Janoby All About Aurora (Roara). Watersedge Secret Agent (Larry), bred by Melissa Waters in QLD and owned by Janoby Kennels, then came out and took Best Puppy of Breed.

The best part is that is was a real family affair! Aslann and Roara are littermates and Larry is from Roara. Aurora is also Bear and Tasha's dam, and Larry is a half brother, so it was great to see them do so well!

Making it even more special, the Judge, Mrs N Karlsdotter, is a Swedish Judge who has judged Finnish and Swedish Lapphund specialities in both Finland and Sweden. It was great to have these dogs recognised by a Judge who is so well versed in the breed.

Taigakoira shares the celebrations with our friends and while Bear had modest success with second in his class (congratulations to Armahani Amethyst Armo) we hope that next time we are at a Royal we'll do better!

Regardless of the outcomes we were delighted to share in the excitment of the show and meeting all of the lovely NSW Lappie people who were there was great.
