It was a great day at the Schnauzer specialty show of the Dutch club VSFL in Barneveld.

Habanera de Pichera: 1 Promising and Best Puppy of Breed.
Ushanti Bianca of Taita's Ushabti: 1 Excellent, Best Veteran of Breed and Best Veteran In Show.
From today Ushi is also Dutch Veteran Champion.
Aube Coppens became 3rd in the Junior Handling competition.

Many thanks to the judges Mrs L. Reinelt-Gebauer (DE) and Mrs M. Vermeire (BE)

After 7 months without showing it was blissful to be reunited with Schnauzer friends and like-minded people at a dog show.

Because we are so proud of him, we asked Romina De Gregorio of ArtyDog to immortalize Quasar or Randi's Ushabti in acrylic paint on canvas. The result is a colourful portrait measuring 100 x 100 cm that hangs in our dining room. Romina has succeeded like no other in portraying Quasar's character and temperament in this painting: a sometimes stubborn, but always sweet schnauzer who can stand his ground when necessary.
