Ch Dream du Domaine de PolanaSubmitted by Marie‐France PrayalOur big adventure in the ring started 3 years ago. We traveled a lot and visited many places in theMaritimes, in Quebec and even in Europe. Dream did more than well, winning Best Puppy in Show, 3 CotonsSpecialties, many group placements and a very exciting 4 th place in his class at the World Dog Show in Parislast summer.Our goal, for this year, was to win a Best in Show with the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC). That’s a bigchallenge for a Coton. Dream was often alone in his group and pitted against many well‐known dogs andprofessional handlers.Just a few more shows before the end of the year and no Best in Show yet.

In the afternoon, again, Group 1 with anotherjudge and here we are for the Best in Show under Mr. McIntyre. I looked at the other dogs and as usual,there were many professional handlers with their top dogs in the country. But, again, we’ll try, Dream and
