One of our favourite English shows which we love to come back. The Christmas club show in London, which we have visited many times in previous years, unfortunately this year we were not able to get there. Despite this, a dog from our breeding, Rocco, who permanently lives in Great Britain, was shown. Every time we are proud of his performances, because he was placed many times in many beautiful classes, thanks to which he has already been awarded a Stud Book Number & a lifetime qualification for Crufts. However, we will remember this show in London for the rest of our lives and it will be difficult to describe in words the happiness and pride that accompanies us and accompanied us while watching "live".

Esqueen GIVE A GIFT FOR CACHEL won CC and BEST IN SHOW in a competition of 222 cockers under judge Jane Smith.

This is one of the most important moments of our breeding work, because Rocco is the first Polish cocker in history to win CC at English show.

Judge was breed specialist from United Kingdom, Andrew Jones. 

A dream that had been brewing in my head for a long time has come true. :) In Europe we have World and European shows which are considered one of the most prestigious. In the USA and Australia there are Nationals of specific breeds, which, compared to our shows, are real celebration of breed. 
In 2022, I took part in the Cocker National in Melbourne, where the judge was a breed specialist from United Kingdom and judging of males/bitch was divided over two days. The entire show ended with the official awards ceremony.
In the United States, the entire event lasted a week - it was divided into agility, males, females, Best of Breed (also on a separate day), as well as a separate day for puppies, veterans and celebration of stud dogs. There were invited 3 judges who have been breeding cockers for many years. The exhibition took place in a beautiful resort in Asheville, and the ring itself was set up in the ballroom. Show ended with an official banquet. :)
This is a fantastic change from our exhibitions in Poland, where exhibitions are held every week and judges are invited who have not dealt with cockers often and only know them from theory. Moreover, the level of culture of exhibitors in the USA was astonishing - which is rather sad, because the culture that should be normal in our "sport" was a nice change overseas.

The icing on the cake was performance of our Twitter -  Esqueen A STAR IS BORN who was one of the few dogs at this exhibition that did not have a docked tail :) - Twitter won a beautiful open class in particolour dogs. 
This is a great honor for us and we are extremely happy with this achievement.
Judge was Joyce Winkles from the United States.

Our biggest star of WDS was the youngest Magnus - Esqueen KEEP THE FLAG HIGH. He won his minor puppy class and received title Minor Puppy WORLD WINNER 2024!
