We celebrate a new German Champion!                                                                                       Photo Roberto Ch Signum Lilies & Willows "Lily" (Ch Whipcat Fire Island at Courthill x Ch Signum Ana Luna) Magnus went to Germany for the important Bundessieger week-end to show Lily. She needed one more CC to complete her National German championship. What with no less than 10 reserves we were hoping and promised to do our best in the hot competition, but could never ever have dreamed of doing so well and much more than that! At the National show (judge Hans Lehtinen) Lily not only won her qualifying CC, but also BOB, the group-1 and later also BIS-3! At the Bundessieger show (judge Patsy Gilmour) she repeated the success winning the CC, CACIB, Best Bitch, the Bundessieger-title for 2007, BOB and also placing #3rd in a strong Sighthound group. This show also qualified her for Crufts! In the picture above is also seen group judge Stefan Sinko for the BIG-1 at the National show. These shows had over 10000 dogs entered! Many thanks for all the kind words at the show and afterwards, it is always so nice to get praise from ones peers! Also many thanks to Susanne & HaJo at Whipcat for taking such good care of our dear Lily! Come back soon for some more pictures from Dortmund! We have bred one Bundessieger before Lily. Int Ch Signum Bournonville "Wimsi" (Hardknott Navigator x Ch Bokellas Marilyn Monroe) also won this title in the 80-ies. Wimsi was owned by Vibeke Vamberg of the Vibes Whippet in Denmark. He was also #1 Whippet in Denmark, and the sire of champions. Come back soon for some photos of him, too!
