I was invited to judge the Zagreb Rhodesian Ridgeback Speciality in Ivanic Grad on 16 September where I had a superb entry of quality dogs to judge that came from 5 different countries and would like to thank the committee for their wonderful hospitality and also the exhibtors for their quality entry. I found my best dog and Best in Show in "Tusani Big Ben" who gained his Croatian title on the day and best bitch was "Victory v.d. Sikkenhoeve".
