While in Canada visiting Paula Ballak of Biscay Water Dogs, Cinna attended the Elora Gorge Dog show on December 27, 2009. He went up against 7 other Barbet and took Best of Breed the first day. Amy Ballak did the handling and if you are ever in need of a pro-handler I can not speak highly enough of her.
Cinna di Barbochos Reiau De Prouvenco aka Cinna was only entered 1 of the 3 days as he had to go home with his parents back to Indiana, but none the less he did a smashing job. Cinna was already a Champion with the CKC but this win was special as it was a Barbet Booster to promote the Barbet at the dog show. There were several people gathered around the ring to check out the relatively new (yet old) breed. It was a great show and Cinna won a lion’s share of dog food and treats.
