ENE bourges 2003

On February 17th was held the French National specialty in Bourges. We had a hall for only the breeds managed by the French club (CCCE). Mike Jessup, our American roving reporter was here, so we let him speaks about what he sawn, and give us some comments on the results:

Hello Friends:

Your roving reporter was on special assignment in France- I had the great privlege to attend the French National Coton Specialty that was held in Bourges, France on Monday feb. 17, 2003. It was a matter of timing that worked in my favor.

The specialty had 67 cotons registered-- what an experience to be able see so many cotons at one show!

The French Kennel Club also honored my attendance at the show with a special presentation and trophy recognizing my traveling from such a great distance to attend. This was a special and surprising moment for your roving reporter.

BEST COTONS

Best Puppy Coton

The French Kennel Club has an unique way to select the best young dog at the specialty-- all dogs that are entered as puppy, junior or young class are invited to enter the ring- in this case there was aprox 60 dogs that were presented from the breeds that were holding specialties.- the judge had all of the dogs go around the ring and then he made his cut to aprox 10 dogs- this was an exciting moment
Your roving reporter and his new puppy "Tunis" had made the cut- WOW!! Three cotons made the final not
necessarily in any order :
Tunis De L'Echo Des Elingues
Tutti Frutti DuMas Des Fruex
Taz'mania Devil Des fleur D'aloes
The winner was a pair of Chihuahua-- they were quite cute as they were place inside the trophy that they
had won - this was a fun experience and something that I would like to see happen at some of our shows.

The pups are here !
