At the International show held at Leeuwarden Netherlands on Easter Monday Multi CH Caratoot´s Cool Contender “Mango“ went  Best in Show reserve. Breed judge was Mrs. B. Roos-Börjeson (SE), Group judge was Mrs. A. Gavin-Bryne (IE) and Best in Show judge was Mr. A.R.R. Doedijns (NL).

It was a very long day as we had to wake at 0200 to be able to leave by 0300. The drive took just over five hours but the traffic was light. We were very pleased that Mango took the CAC and CACIB and at that point the trip was more than worth it. Our younger male dog, Topasar Principal Kid, was excellent 2 in open class. 

 It was a long wait for Group judging to start and more than once we thought about leaving to get an earlier start on the long drive home. Mango really showed his stamina as he actually showed better in Group than he did in Breed competition. When he was selected as Best in Group we were both extremely happy. It was a short wait for Best in Show and of course you always have that hope that maybe....just maybe. The judge kind of threw a twist in that he selected Best in Show first and then he moved away from the end of the line only to walk all the way back straight towards Alla and Mango. It was a wonderful end to the day. The drive home? Well we hardly noticed it.
