The exhibition time is an exciting period for me, Zoe vom Donauvillino. I am a proud Coton de Tulear dog, and my owner is determined that I should achieve the title of German Champion. It's a big challenge, but I'm ready to give it my all.
I generally enjoy the atmosphere at exhibitions. There are so many dogs, people, and interesting smells to discover. But as soon as the unfamiliar people, the judges, touch and examine me, I become a little nervous. It's strange to be judged by them, and I can feel the tension from my owner, which affects me.
However, I try to pull myself together and use my training to remain calm and composed. My owner has invested so much time and effort into preparing me, and I don't want to disappoint her.
So, I stand still, allow myself to be examined, and obediently walk in the ring. I feel the judges' eyes on me, their hands checking my fur, and their critical eyes examining every detail. It's a challenge, but I do my best to present myself in the best possible light.
And when the results are announced at the end of the exhibition, and I hear that I have won a prize, all the effort is worth it. My owner beams with pride, and I know I haven't let her down.
Yes! I have become a German Champion
