Benton breeders group winning BEST IN SHOW at Finnish Winner show
in a record number of breeders groups - photo: Taina Kaleva


What a weekend! Finnish Winner and Nordic Winner shows took place this weekend in Helsinki.
I was told they were the biggest International one day dog shows ever. Benton breeders
group took on saturday BIS breeders and on sunday BIS-2 breeders among the record number of
groups ever shown on one day. Benton WSS was the only breed to be placed both days in BIS
breeders. Needless to say we are on cloud nine!
Ch Benton One More Duck took BOB both days and best finnish dog in FCI group 8, placing Group-3 on
saturday and Group-4 on sunday. He sure was not in just any company, on saturday he was only beaten
by top gundogs in Norway and Sweden, the great flat Ch Almanza Far & Flyg and the wonderful american cocker Ch Caci's Cute Carmen at LD's! He therefore added title FINW-05 and NORDW-05 in front of his name:
On sunday two more titles to our 'team' as the juniors Benton Pigs Might Fly and Benton Pep Talk can now
call themselves as Nordic Junior Winners-05. Their mother Ch Benton Let Em Talk was again almost there;
winning Best bitch-2 both day and so missing another titles. More in results page.
Congratulations and Thanks to everyone who made this possible!!

in Holland. This is Filmore aged 9 weeks and owned by his breeder Sandra Holmes.
