Another great Bergamasco turn out at the Cherry Blossom Show this year in Upper Marlboro, MD.

 

  

The two one year old Swedish imports Zeus and Donnegal were the surprise of the show, getting Excellent ratings from the Judges all around.
Their strong presence and easy demeanor set the tone to a great Bergamasco presentation.
Donnegal, owned by Jim and Marty Harbaugh, secured 4 points towards the ARBA Championship in his first show ever and a Best of opposite.

 

  

Luna Dell Albera, 16 months old Bitch, owned by Erik Rothman and Juan-Manuel Olivera-Silvera, acquired all the remaining points needed for her Championship title.

  

Champion Florinda Dell Albera, 5 years old from Silver Pastori Kennel, owned by Donna and Stephen DeFalcis took Best of breed to her son Champion Jupiter Dell Albera, 2 years old (Best of Opposite) from Artos Bergamascos.

Florinda placed in Group 4 times (including a Group 2) in the biggest group ring of the show, the Herding Group being the largest represented at ARBA’s Cherry Blossom.
