Champion of Champions & Veteran of Veterans 2009

In honour of the the most victorious show-dogs of the year 2008, was arranged, also in this year, the big Gala Evening CHAMPIONS of CHAMPIONS & VETERAN of VETERANS. Also in this year the Gala was hold in the Fur-Center, in Vantaa, and the date was Saturday, 31th January 2009.

As you know, the show is organized as an invitation contest, according to the results of the preceding show year. The invitation to this wonderful show is given to 100 dogs ( competing at the title of Champion of Champions) and 50 veterans ( competing at the title of Veteran of Veterans), who have been the most succesful showdogs of the year - in spite of the breed - in The Finish Kennel Club show dog list.
So it's quite difficult and a big honour to get along to the Champion of Champions & Veteran of Veterans gala.
The competition is a "strike out competition", it is 2 dogs together to the catwalk, and the judges give the "colour", red or black, and the other dog fall off until only one dog is left

Tapani Turunen, the president of the Gaala- committee wrote:
The Champion of Champions and Veteran of Veterans gala of 2009 is the 20th time, the show is organised.
The occasion has stabilised its status as a survay for the most successful show dogs of the preceding year. With the years it has also got the functional content and shape.
