We got an e-mail from Estonia

Little Benchmark Caballero was BIS-2 at Christmas Show for Puppies in Tallinn!!!!
It's all breeds show, there are classes 4-6 months, 6-9 and 9-12 months.
Caballero was BOB puppy and after that BIS-2. It's great result because
little baby completed together with juniors! And it's our main puppy show,
so here were as many breeds as we have in Estonia.

Congratulations!

best regards Inga Järv, Estonia
