A dream that had been brewing in my head for a long time has come true. :) In Europe we have World and European shows which are considered one of the most prestigious. In the USA and Australia there are Nationals of specific breeds, which, compared to our shows, are real celebration of breed. 
In 2022, I took part in the Cocker National in Melbourne, where the judge was a breed specialist from United Kingdom and judging of males/bitch was divided over two days. The entire show ended with the official awards ceremony.
In the United States, the entire event lasted a week - it was divided into agility, males, females, Best of Breed (also on a separate day), as well as a separate day for puppies, veterans and celebration of stud dogs. There were invited 3 judges who have been breeding cockers for many years. The exhibition took place in a beautiful resort in Asheville, and the ring itself was set up in the ballroom. Show ended with an official banquet. :)
This is a fantastic change from our exhibitions in Poland, where exhibitions are held every week and judges are invited who have not dealt with cockers often and only know them from theory. Moreover, the level of culture of exhibitors in the USA was astonishing - which is rather sad, because the culture that should be normal in our "sport" was a nice change overseas.

The icing on the cake was performance of our Twitter -  Esqueen A STAR IS BORN who was one of the few dogs at this exhibition that did not have a docked tail :) - Twitter won a beautiful open class in particolour dogs. 
This is a great honor for us and we are extremely happy with this achievement.
Judge was Joyce Winkles from the United States.
