The Show (Swedish Vallhund, Rottweiler)
I can't help bragging a little.
As well as Tamino I also handled Falco, George's 22 month old male Rottie. I love him, would take him now. :smt007. I've known him since he was a ickle puppy. Mind you he is considerably stronger now
(weights around the 45 kg mark).
Falco and me in the ring (we didn't take 4th, we took 2nd). It was so funny to watch the faces of the men around the ring when I took him from George.
Disbelief was the main expression. Though I'm not too suprised, in Greece male Rotties are known to start fighting in the ring.

They come to stay with George sometimes (their second dog, Irma, is a Rottie from Georges kennel) and quite often my visits clash with theirs. So we are quite good friends (the last time we stayed in the same house, Foffie and I rented
