2005

This year is the first time classes have been allocated for the breed at Crufts,

Sunday Judge Dr G Vandoni (Italy), Neapolitan Mastiffs, Tibetan Mastiffs and Russian Black Terriers.

Cruft’s, Sunday 13^th March, was the first time ever; there were classes for the breed.

Russian, French & Italian exhibitors gathered together chatting with UK breeders/exhibitors from early morning. Keen enthusiasts came early also to cheer on and to enjoy watching this giant breed being prepared for the show ring. One word springs to mind it was ‘Electric’.

Judging the RBT’s was Dr Guido Vandoni (Italy) he began at 3-45pm having being delayed for a short while as the BBC had asked to film his first class Sp.J.D. This coverage was shown on T.V. Sunday evening with Mr Frank Kane giving a brief but explicit overview of the breed of which we are grateful, a giant breed with substance to match and above all grooming plays an important part in the well being of any groomed breed. Not suitable as a first time dog…. We are all pleased his overview was defined so well. Keep to the ‘Slow Lane’ and not jump/start as other new breeds have in the past. We all hope the RBT will follow other groomed breeds and stroll slowly along happily with caring owners.

The RBT Club organised many specials to make it a day to remember, a medallion for every exhibitor and also for the dogs working on the RBT Booth, Discover Dogs. The medallions depicted an RBT in the centre and around the edge was engraved Russian Black Terrier Club with (UK) added especially for those exhibitors from abroad.

A lovely caricature portrait of RBT Rus/Fr/Mon/Lux/Int CH Kait Krait (now 8yrs old placed 3^rd in Open Dog who is the sire of the B.D. winner) was printed by the club and presented to all exhibitors, with kind permission from owners `Yuri and Irina Morozov - kennel Chigasovo (Moscow). Special Certificates were presented to all exhibitors donated by committee member Melanie Rawson. From Poland, Kasia and Renata Stanczak, hand painted the RBT on to white beakers and Kasia presented one to each class winner. A lovely framed picture of an RBT which had been commissioned for this special event by club member Nadezhda Sazonova, kennel "Nadezhdina PolYana" (Kaliningrad Region). had been donated to the Club and this was presented to the BOB winner by the Judge Dr Vandoni.

The RBT Discover Dogs booth (four days) was a success, it always appears to be one of the busiest! Chairman Mr Ron Carter donated ‘RBT Club’ sashes for members to wear whilst manning the D.D. booth.

Yes, everyone went home a winner, a truly memorable date for the breed, many congratulations to you all.

Janet Huxley.
