Judging at the Thailand Pomeranian Club Grand Sweepstakes is an experience I will forever hold close to my heart. Held over the weekend of September 28th and 29th, 2024, this remarkable event brought together the global Pomeranian community to celebrate our beloved breed.
I had the privilege of joining an esteemed panel of judges from the USA, Ireland, Serbia, and Canada as we evaluated an incredible lineup of Pomeranians.
Arriving a week before the show allowed us time for sightseeing and shopping, immersing ourselves in the vibrant culture of Thailand. A highlight of our sightseeing was an unforgettable elephant ride—a unique and exhilarating experience that set the stage for a memorable weekend.
The event was held in the Central Bangna Hall, located at the bottom of a massive shopping mall. This unique venue provided exhibitors and their Pomeranians with air-conditioned comfort all weekend, a much-appreciated relief given Thailand’s tropical climate. The show was open to the public, and it was heartwarming to see community members come to watch the wide variety of beautiful dogs being exhibited.
The weekend was action-packed, with the Thailand Pomeranian Club hosting four championship shows, the Pomeranian Club Grand Sweepstakes and the Pomeranian Championship Show.
The Grand Sweepstakes took place on Saturday, and I had the pleasure of evaluating the exceptional dogs presented in the ring. It was a challenging but fulfilling task to choose a winner, as the quality of the Pomeranians was simply breathtaking.
My ultimate winner was a stunning Pomeranian bred in China and owned by an enthusiastic Pomeranian lover from Indonesia. This dog captured my heart and impressed everyone with his style and showmanship. Remarkably, he continued his winning streak throughout the weekend, earning top honors under the other judges and securing his Thailand Championship title. Seeing him rewarded for his excellence in the ring was an absolute pleasure.
Sunday brought the Pomeranian Club Championship Show, which Mrs. Christine Goodin, a breed specialist from the United States, judged. Her insightful evaluations reflected her deep understanding of the breed, and it was a privilege to witness her thoughtful approach as she awarded the day’s top honors.
Reflecting on the weekend, I am filled with gratitude for the hospitality of the Thailand Pomeranian Club. The event was beautifully organized, and the warmth and enthusiasm of everyone involved made it a truly unforgettable experience. The camaraderie among judges, exhibitors, and organizers was palpable, creating an enjoyable atmosphere.
I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to the Thailand Pomeranian Club for the invitation to participate in such a prestigious event. The memories I’ve made will stay with me forever, and I look forward to continuing to watch the Pomeranian community thrive in Thailand and around the world.
