BLACK RUSSIAN TERRIERS
VARIAS - No placement today :(
Judge John Ramirez
Varias was definitely not on his best game today. He went off of his food last Sunday/Monday. That is not unusual for a BRT to self-regulate and not eat for a couple of days. (I wish I had that kind of control :) BUT, when he still didn't eat much at all when we got to NY, we called the vet. He had already lost a bit of weight, and was lethargic. We got him on antibiotics right away and by the next morning he was better, but the damage was already done. He is still on the antibiotics and feeling much better, but he is just like us, even when you are feeling better it is not 100%. I am just glad that he felt well enough to show and visit with 100s of people at the show. It was a good day with his new owner Char, and her first experience at a dog show with Varias. It would have been better if she had a ribbon to take home, but maybe next year!
