Diva managed at the international show in Luxembourg to win once again her class and thus was being awarded the Lux CC - there was stiff competition what made me even happier to see her win. Judge was Dalmatian breeder Milan Jovanovi´c from Serbia.
The result can also be viewed here.

News from "THE ROCK"
We had a holiday and shows in Spain and Gibraltar and it was wonderful! Diva travelled with us and it became obvious that she is a real profi ;o) - everything went excellent.
At the shows we met Vanessa and her dogs Vulcan and Hidra, as well as some friends of Vanessa. She breeds Rhodesain Ridgebacks in Spain under the prefix "Molema Mua Roo".
Vulcan aka Ozrhode Dia Hot Prospect is a relative of Diva and it was a great pleasure and joy to met Vanessa and her gang! During the shows Vulcan was awarded the elusive CC to become GIBRALTAR CHAMPION!
Mega congratulations, V-V-team!!! ;o)
