The White Dogs

We have invited a 'white dog' to open the competition every day. The white dog's job is to go into the ring and perform as the first dog on the day. Hopefully that will give the judges a chance to settle and get into the right frame of mind before they start judging and it will give the first competitor a guideline as to when he/she is going in.

Also it will make sure that any flaws in the ring, carpet, speakers or music will be noticed before the competition starts. The white dog will be the 'test run'.

And of course it takes the pressure of the competitors... No one has to go first!

Annette & Neo
Friday's white dog will be Annette Dalgaard with Border Collie Danish HTM Champion Kløverbakken's Jack Sparrow (Neo), who are reserves on the Danish HTM team.

Annette and Neo will be performing just after the Opening Ceremony. Hopefully their performance will give the first competitor a bit of time to settle and get ready between the opening and performing.

Sofie & Quincy

Saturday morning it will be Sofie E. Hjorth and Border Collie Fæhunden's Quincy Lad - the Danish Freestyle reserves - that will entertain us and open the show for us.

Marianne & Blondie

And on Sunday morning little Blondie will be there to tell us the story about Meyer and Huset på Christianshavn... Read more here!
