3. Lighter liver and white with dark tan overlay.

There were also 3 orange and whites with liver overlay on their backs and very trimmed ears. Food for thought I think in light of a ban on 'sable'

I think we had 3 excellents - Merlin (I think, not sure), Catja, and Beau.

One of the supposed orange and white dogs (don't know whcih one, wish I'd taken a note of the number) was pulled out in the last 10 in one class I watched and I swear it was a 'sable' - it's ears were trimmed VERY short, and it had much darker (liver) guard hairs on it's back. But it CAN'T have been - they are banned ....................................... Rolling Eyes

I had a wonderful time and recommend the trip to anyone to really get a feel for the breed.

Watching the show was very interesting and noisy. Chase and I were eliminated unfortunately - I know he is tall but he has previously been measured 'in tolerance'. This time he was tired and hot and postured in to the measuring stick and was deemed way over standard - an unofficial check on his height later in the day proved he was wrongly measured in the ring but that was our fault as well ........... he needed to be more relaxed. He did get some very nice comments though from both french and other exhibitors so despite the disappointment I am not downcast.

I will defintiely be going again, I am not sure where the show is 2010 but 2011 is much closer to the UK and easily accessible from the Tunnel or Dover/Calais ferry.
