After the Sighthound National we embarked on a week by week round around show circuit in well 4 different countries with the only pauses during my visit to Ake in Sweden and my vacation to Istanbul in Turkey
We first went to Pisa International show where swedish judge Mr. Hans Halmgren put up for BOB “Terence” Rivarco Thunderbird who later went onto win the Group under Mr. Giobatta Tabò from Italy.
One week later we moved to the beautiful seaside city of Umag in Croatia for two International shows. On the first day “Sookie” Rivarco Tinuviel won the breed under Mrs Marianne Petersen from Danemark and then the Group under Mr. Otto Schimpf from Austria and on sunday Mr. Schimpf decided “Linda” from the Intermediate bitch class should be his best bitch with Ch. Rivarco Power going BOB and later Group 2nd under Mrs Kitty Sjong from Danemark too.
Joining for his first International debut was “Teo” Rivarco Theodor in Love who got both days the CAC and a Res.Cacib on saturday
Linda and Sookie during Cacib competition helped by friend Sergio Anconetti of the famous “Dei Raggi di Luna” IGs
and “Kiran” Rivarco The Latin Lover shown here in BIS Junior competition!
Back from my quick visit to Sweden we went to another splendid Adriatic seaside city Portoroz in Slovenia were Linda took BOB and Group 2nd BOTH DAYS, winning the breeds under Mr. Vlatislav Vojtek (SK) and Mr. Frank Kane (UK) and the Group Placements under Mrs Ana Mest (Spain) and Mr. Vojtek.
On the same occasion on sunday Kiran was Cac/cacib and BOS!
And last but not least In Klagenfurt (A) last week end two more International shows were waiting for us and Sookie made it on sunday by going BOB under Mr. Miro Zlojutro (HR) with Ch. Rivarco Power as BOS
