We travelled by car via the Euro Tunnel to attend the World Dog Show which was held in Paris, France from the 7th to the 10th July 2011.
On Friday the 8th of July 2011 we entered the French Speciality Show "Championnat De France 2011" under Judge Mr. M Norman Deschuymere. There were five intermediate Xoloitzcuintle entered in Apancingo's class, Intermediate Open Dog.
Much to our absolute delight he was graded Excellent and awarded THIRD place. Considering it was our first venture out of the U.K. showing a dog we were extremely pleased with our achievement.
