This is the first time in the history of Schapendoes being shown in the Canadian Kennel Club that a female Schapendoes has won the National Specialty. We are so proud of Kay for being awarded this honour. It was actually a little amazing that the Best in Breed, the Best of Opposite and the Best Puppy in breed are all related. Kay and Gustave were breed the year before, and Sukie is their offspring. Overall, it was a wonderful weekend spent with such lovely Schapendoes.
