As mentioned earlier, it was Rauhan's debut and Emma H's first ever dog show, so I was reluctantly called upon to show him myself. Did I say "reluctantly"? HA! As if! I couldn't wait to get my hands on him, and I would be more than happy to pilot the handsome little star anytime. For that matter, the same goes for any of the Infindigo bunch. I'm so proud of them all.
As I was booked to show dogs in lots of different classes, Jay was a bit busy lining them up for me and sadly missed getting any photos of the puppies actually in the ring. I'm hoping that Emma had better luck.
Like his sister before him, at his very first show, Rauhan won the puppy class with Inko coming 2nd, and then he went in and won Best Puppy in Breed in the challenge against an older puppy from a different class. I was thrilled with how well he did, showing like a little pro - Emma has done quite a job in her 3 ringcraft classes! The judge loved him, commenting on his beautiful expression, which is so like his dad's I think, and went on to say that he would like to steal him away and take him home. Well, who wouldn't?
I think it's quite charming how much like his brother, Tarkka, Rauhan looks. To my eye, they both look like an absolute combination of their parents. But where Tarkka looks more like Neka, Rauhan looks more like Keskiyo. And with a little nod towards his stunning grandpa, Neka's sire, Pascha (Elbereth Runo in Bernavia).
And can you see the family resemblance with sister Inko? Here they are in a rare still moment after coming out of the ring.
Inko chills in a chair while watching all the rest of the judging with interest. What do you suppose is going through her head?

Just look at Inko doing her favourite sideways sit, while Rauhan is sat all neatly next to her in the last but one pic!!
It so looks like she is watching something specific in that bottom picture...obviously enjoying watching fellow lappies going round the ring.
