Last week OUR DOGS reported that a number of dog shows had been canceled around Europe. As the virus has taken hold across the continent, with Italy being put into lockdown, more shows have been postponed.

11th Fundão National Dog Show took place on the February 29 and March 1 with an entry of 334 dogs. Best in Show was judged by Olga Grin (RU) and the winner was the Samoyed.

With 1445 dogs entered for this show, the organizers of the Ambiorix Trofee 2020 were quite happy, especially as it was only a national show and very close to Crufts! Compared to some CACIB shows that is indeed a good result.

BETWEEN February, 13-16 four International Shows were held in Budapest, Hungary, call the FEHOVA Winter Dog Shows. The shows were held in the Hungexpo, the Budapest Fair together with the Arms, Fishing and Hunting Show.

At the most prestigious gala dog show, “SHOW OF WINNERS” in Denmark, this years top placement went to the outstanding American Akita male Satrebor Steal The Moment Ruthdale.

The second weekend in February saw the city of Fredericia play host to the first International Show of 2020 in Denmark. With an entry of over 3,300 dogs for the weekend, this was plain sailing for Wilfred Olsen and his team from the Danish Kennel Klub.
