Following her son's success at WELKS on Sunday 1st May, Menna (INT/BEL/DK CH. Karabas Likande Lamenna Letta at Sturtmoor (IMP NL) Sh.C.M) took her second BEST OF BREED of the year!  

A fantastic start to the 2011 season for Sturtmoor!!

Only one Sturtmoor Dog was present at WELKS championship show on 1st May 2011 - and what a day he had!!

Rouge (Sturtmoor Omari) who is out of Menna x Jaydee was attending his first show ever with his owner Kathleen Garey, what a start to his career!

Kath took Rouge into his first Junior Class, aged just 9 months, where he was against 3 other puppies that were a little older than him.  He was placed FIRST!!!  Millie (Camille Pentland - co-breeder of Rouge) then offered to take over the handling where Rouge went on to win not only Best Male but also BEST OF BREED!!  There was a total entry of 21 Estrela's, with only 4 being absent.  This was all under judge Robin Newhouse.

Rouge didn't stop there!  Millie then took him into the Group, where judge Zena Thorn-Andrews decided to shortlist our baby boy to the LAST SIX!  The Pastoral group had a total of 1124 entries, and Rouge was one best six in that group!! 

Well done to Kath on doing such a fantastic job with Rouge, and getting him so well socialised.  We hope to see him at more shows in the future!
