We, as a family, are very proud to be Cornish so naturally this is the ultimate show for us. We always go, rain or shine. When looking at the weather forecast, they said we would have hailstones the size of cricket balls... they lied! We didn't even have a spit of rain! Granted it was overcast but yes, we still managed to get sunburnt!
Great day for the Woodbriar family. Fiji - Woodbriar Fire Fly ShCM won Graduate, Lola - Woodbriar Wild as the Wind JW ShCM won Open Bitch and Louie - Woodbriar Luciano JW ShCM won Open Dog. Bambino - Woodbriar Angel Eyes was unable to attend as she was recovering from an operation a week before. Louie then went on to win Best of Breed and Group 1 under judge Mr Tim Hutchings, qualifying for Top Dog of Cornwall YET AGAIN!
Fiji also won the Open Stakes thanks to Mr Tim Hutchings.
As usual we took a picnic and spent some quality time with friends whilst waiting for Best in Show. Many members of public came to see the dogs and they saw the true character of the Dobermann. The dogs loved all the extra fuss and treats. Who said dog showing was cruel?!

| The time came for Best in Show and what a quality line up it was. Many of our good friends made it to the final 7 so we were extremely happy for everyone. The Best in Show judge was Mr Keith Starkey who awarded Louie BEST IN SHOW!!! Yet again our boy did us proud! Louie has only attended two Cornish Shows this year, winning Reserve Best in Show and Best in Show respectively. We are extremely proud of Louie's success and to win Best in Show at the most prestige show in Cornwall was just the cherry on the cake! |  |
