June 14th, 2010: At the dog show in Erfurt Sadiki finished his German Champion VDH!!!  I´m proud of you my little Sadi-buddy-baby! ;-)

                               On Saturday (June 12th) Joker took the breed (BOB) and was later on shortlisted in group.

             On Sunday (June 13th) Joker took the breed again (BOB) and went on to take a BEST IN GROUP 1 (BIG-1) and finally a BEST IN SHOW 3

That´s just incredible and I´m still speechless...as far as I know Joker is the very first Toller to ever win a BIS-3 (placement) at a German All-Breeds dog show! I´m really happy about this achievment and I think it shows that  it´s always worth it to fight for ones dream/goal. When I started showing Joker I did it just for fun, but the more great critics he got by judges the further I wanted to get with him and I think we´ve got quite far and hopefully there are some more great moments to come...we´ll see!

Thank you Joker for showing so well in the ring! ;) & Thanks to all judges who have judged Joker and appreciated his worth!
