Hi All

First of all big congratulations to Karen and Mazy, and very well done, it is always hard in the variety classes, at least the Judge knew what breed she was, I have been to shows where the judge has thought Narla was a Springer Spaniel, must be some sort of giant variety LOL.
But I do think the more Large Munsterlanders get out there the more recognised they will become. We have some lovely dogs in our breed and they should be doing a lot more in the Group competitions, but very often just don't get a second look.

I see that Logi's son got the Challenge Certificate at the Scottish Kennel Club and also BOB, so very well done to him, and another Blitzan dog was also very highly placed. A Logi daughter also took the Bitch Challenge Certificate, so a good day for the Blitzan family in Scotland. Very well done to them all and all the other competitors.

Lovely picture of all the dogs pointing together, they must have certainly picked up the scent of something.
And talking about scenting, little Elsa showing her tracking abilities, at least you know Karen the instincts are all there if you decide to work Elsa in the future.
Sounds like Lydia had a lovely birthday, bet the dogs thought it was their birthday to, all the attention and fuss, and joining in the fun.

Narla is starting to show a little this week, but I am not really sure if it would be visable in a picture yet, she has started to loose a bit of her tuck up and her waist, and she definitely looks wider to me around her ribcage, but quite a few weeks to go yet, and last week the vet said the puppies would only be about the size of a 50p piece at this stage, but will probably double in size week by week from now on.

Lins I would love to keep more than one, but I haven't really got the room or the stamina to keep up with more than one puppy at a time, especially when you get to the adolescent stage.
But I am sure I will be shedding loads of tears when they go to their new homes, but at least a lot of the owners will be either members of or joining the Blitzan Blog so I will be able to stay in touch and see lots of pictures hopefully.
