There were 11 Shiba’s entered and the judge was Mr. Kjellstrom from USA. I was very much touched by this very kind and friendly judge, who was very interested in the breed and the group judging and I hope to meet him again at a show in the future…

I left early in the morning, but found out the road I normaly take was out of order, finally and much too late I arrived at the show.
