Europe’s most important show, the Europe Dog Show was held in Wels, Austria on 14, 15?& 16th of June. High expectations preceded it, because this year WDS was in China (with not so high entries), so everybody waited a big bang from the EDS.

Parents dream of their children following in their footsteps. It is the ultimate legacy. Four members of our judging community share their remembrances of the intangible gifts their parent, parents, and a grandmother bestowed upon them. The remarkable influence these relatives have had on these fortunate judges has empowered their thoughtful consideration of the judging process and follows them into the ring every time they judge. What a beautiful tribute each of them shares with us. We are proud to have them as part of the judging community past and present.
