May 29 * Hi Ellen and Amy! We were in Germany (Neumünster) this weekend to a big international dog show.

Diablo become BOB and got his first cc in Germany (He needs 5 cc to become German Champion)

Later he won the group!!! The judge (Dr. W. Peper) said to me: “that dog has only one fault…… and that is

that he isn’t my dog”!!! He loved Diablo!!! A big hug from a very proud “mom” Bitta

Congratulations, Bitta! · CH Thornapple Aftershock "Diablo"

More News from Bitta!!!

All the other Aussie owners knew who Diablo’s beautiful half brother was (Quinn) …….. Quinn is really a star in Germany!!! J J

At the group judging, all the judges were sitting at a long table in the ring waiting for their turn to judge a group. Just before

we were going in to the big ring some of the judges were asking me: If this was the Danish Thornapple? ………….. it felt like

standing next to a movie star J When we were in the ring the other judges took pictures of Diablo an was cheering for him!!! WOW

I have never tried that before!! Diablo is looking better and better………….just like good red wine J He will look fantastic when he is

going to the world winner show in Poland in November this year!

We are going to Finland together with Anne-Lena and Niklas to the Europe winner show next week. It is going to be fun!!!! J J

Hugs Bitta
