What a day ! Saturday afternoon we received a call to tell us, Nasailleen Notorious at Tirkane won his 3rd CC at LKA at the tender age of 18 months. Then in Amsterdam, I can't even say 'dreams came true', as I couldn't even have dreamed of having such incredible success at the Eukanuba Finals in Amsterdam, to be even shortlisted to the final round was tremendous, but standing behind the curtain, waiting for the final 3 to be announced, I was standing very relaxed looking round .... at the other finalists, some of whom I had personally judged and given groups or best in shows to, and thinking who would be the final three, I certainly wasn't thinking it would be us called out! When they announced Ireland as first runner up I could hardly believe my ears, but it was true! An amazing day, an amazing success, and overwhelming support from the Irish.  To 'Isak', a very, very special dog, in my life you have never let me down, but on Saturday you excelled yourself, thank so very much!
