2004 FCI INTERNATIONAL Dog Show Saitama bloc

Judge : Breed Yoshio Mori

This is his the show for Show Debut.

He got nothing though, he was 11 months old and enjoying to be in show ring. It was polling rain. but His tail was always wagged.  It's still same :-)) When he run with another malamute, he looked back some times.
That was his fist time to do this. I noticed many things to do for training...for me for Kobo.

This is the start for great show&race record!!!!

DOG&BIKE TRIAL RACE in Chiba   

I said to Kobo "GO!" He said to me "what?" :-))

He was 6th place in puppy class.
This is Kobo's first race in his life. That was second time to put Harness on. Some people could run with dog to help in Puppy class. So one of my friend run for him (thanks!) He couldn't start at 3,2,1,GO! but after he notice its time to run, he run perfect! I am so glad he could run very first time.

I didn't have any plan for this show but Handler Akira Miyake advice me "you can enroll this show for training.". So we were there. His coat was not so good and he didn't run perfect but he did well. He got Group 1st. I was so Happy!! and very proud of him! After this, Miyake always give us good advice for showing. I asked Mr. Miyake to take care Kobo until next show.

2004 FCI INTERNATIONAL Dog Show Cyugoku bloc

Judge : Breed Akio Kuroki Group Hisayoshi Kadowaki

 He got Group 3rd.

At Okayama, Kobo was there with Miyake. I drove car from Nagoya to Okayama by myself. I got car accident, a guy hit my car from behind. I was so lucky I didn't have any dogs in my car.

Anyway, Kobo was handled by many handlers in this show. When I saw this, I  really worried about this.  He run with the Handlers who met Kobo very first time, but he could do so fine. He was always wagging his tail for every Judge and every Handler. which was so nice.
