Secretary Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Hello all, This is a first time posting on this forum but I would like to share as it is a first for us to compete at Crufts and quite special. Our homebred French Bulldog D'Accord Rene Lacoste made his UK debut (under our name) at Crufts taking out Best Male Puppy. 11 months old he competed in Special Junior, winning that class and then challenging for Best Puppy against the winner of the puppy class. Absolutely thrilled - we're as proud as can be and wish him well in his new life in England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secretary Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 Congratulations! You must be thrilled to bits. Were you there? Thrilled ?? we were jumping with joy. Sadly no, we were not able to go. Costa only arrived 10 days prior to the show and needed to settle with his new owner and get used to things. He was very close to us and it would have confused him greatly, so we stayed home. The coverage via the Crufts website is pretty good - Saturday night I was thinking "They should have started judging by now, I'll just take a peek." The first three classes were already posted and there he was FIRST ! I couldn't believe it - what a thrill. Then emails were coming in telling us what was happening. We'd moved him to the Junior class to avoid the bigger puppy class knowing he could challenge for puppy if he did well. He certainly held the Aussie flag and challenged successfully taking Best Male Puppy. There were 126 Frenchies entered so it was quite exciting to be a part of it all. I just hope he continues to mature and do well next year. He has already qualified for Crufts 2011. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
