Ishta checking out her Crufts Rosette On the 5 March we left Litha and the pups at home while we went on the trip to Crufts. We were being Judged at 10 o clock but we arrived early to avoid the rush hour, our judge for the breed classes was Barbra Brooker who is the secretary of the Pharaoh Hound Club.

Rhade was in the open dog class were there were 15 entries which is the biggest class of Pharaohs I have been in. After the judge had seen them all she made a cut of 7 dogs and Rhade was pulled out first and then was placed VHC which is 5th but in front of him were Int. Champions and Multi Champions which have been shown in Europe so he did very well.

Ishta was entered in Special Puppy class and was awarded second place behind her sister Kiya who was awarded BPIB.
