Sighthounds was the Afghan Hound Amal Salang Dreams
Come True.
After Mr. Yerusalimsky had gone over all 10 dogs, they were
sent back to the collecting ring, and the four top placements
were announced in reverse order. The first one to come in was
the Rhodesian Ridgeback, then the Weimaraner was called
for third place. When the American Cocker was called in as
Reserve BIS, there was no doubt that the ultimate winner
had to be the Black Russian Terrier! The 3-year-old Fine Lady
s Zolotogo Grada is aptly named. She is no newcomer in the
top circles. At the Helsinki WDS two years ago, she got the
Junior title, and last year she won the Group at the Oslo European Dog Show. There were 171 Black Russians entered at
this World Dog Show, dozens of champions among them, so
she beat out some tough competition in the breed ring before
climbing to the top spot.
The Reserve BIS-winning American Cocker had trouble
getting back home because the joint owners, three ladies from
Finland, had planned to go home on Sunday and had visas
for that day. You can’t assume that you will win the Group
at the WDS! So they had to stay until the end, and of course
it was so late by the time they got to the airport that there
were no more flights to Helsinki. So they spent the night at
the airport with their dog and huge trophy, and had to hurry
to the consulate on Monday morning to renew the visa. But
that inconvenience is worth it when your dog is named the
second best in the world! DIR
