After small Regional Show, held outside, de facto in the park we went to the International Shows held at the exhibition center halls, on the carpet, with many new noises, with almost 3 thousands dogs, many exhibitors and visitors. I was very satisfied how Muff and Ziggy showed in stack and also in movement. Unfortunately my battery charger only pretended that the batteries are charged, so right there I found out that I have two sets of empty batteries and useless charger, thanks to it we do not have any pictures. |

He had a chance to try tracking, he got first few lessons in SAR whether in area or in debris, he tried to get surf out of the water just little from everything. I really appreciated SMSs which I got every day from Lucie - what new that day he saw and how great he was :-) Ory still did not have the right owner.. |

finally I found time for some more updates: update of Upcomming Litters and Bred By And our puppies were very active in May. Telkkä competed in several trials, just few results: 15.5. Ahvenanmaa - JL3 - 3rd place 22.5. Riihimäki - LA3 - 2nd place 23.5. Kotka - JL3 - 2nd place, LA3 - 3rd place Pepsi passed finish tracking exam JK1, points achieved brought him to the third place - congratulations!!! And from Grek we have got one video from May intensive training in Vetrkovice - here I went with Kidd last week together with other friends to herding clinic in Poland. Floods complicated little bit our driving but vision of great weekend got us safely to that place near Warszaw. I could not miss the opportunity to learn something more about herding particularly from one of the most competent instructors but also ASCA Herding Judge and what is the most important, Maarten Walter is actively trialing his dogs so it is not just about the theory with him. He showed it to us many times during this weekend. In his hands even novice dogs looked like pro. Maarten is also Aussie breeder and in his Gabrielino Kennel was born Chap whom he kept and brought him to the highest titles in different disciplines including his ASCA Conformation Championship. I am very glad that Marteen liked his "grandson" Kidd a lot. My friend Justyna who organized this clinic also has several dogs having Chap as Grand Sire so it was also pleasant family reunion. At the same time I would like to thank to Justyna for allowing us to participate and took great care about us. Thank you. Pictures and videos later. |

We had to say last good-bye to our sheltie Tereza. I was thinking long time what to add but I would rather write that we are sad and also I have rage, which I can gather to one sentence. Tereza was not my first sheltie and even not the last one in my life, but definitely she was the last one Czech bred. |

Agility Trial Louny |
Kidd LA2 - 2nd place, Jump - 3rd place, Open - 3rd place Ricky LA2 - 8th place, Jump - 9. místo, Open - elim. Grek LA1, Jump, Open - elim. There were moments when parcours looked like the judges compete with each other who will make better “trap” and they were quite successful. I personally like such parcours even if for the first sight it looks like it is not possible to make it. When I was on the way to the start line for Saturday Jumping I have got information that it is 13:5 for the judge :-) In Sunday Open there were just 5 dogs from 38 in LA who were able to get to the end without elimination. I always enjoy trials in Louny and we were quite successful this year there. Kidd finished all 6 runs without elimination and placed in four of them. Eleven years old Ricky showed me that he still does not belong to veteran category and is able to compete with much more younger dogs. For example in Saturday Jumping he had 5th best time, he was even faster the Kidd for 0,02 sec. As usually underline runs mean video. There is short reportage from this trial in local newspaper and both brothers have a picture there. Thanks to Petra for her visit I really enjoyed the time spend with you and Grek. I also would like to thank to all puppy owners of our litter A for all love and care you are giving them. I hope that puppies from our B litter will also have such great owners. Some of them already cannot wait. We still have few spots available on the waiting list for this litter. |
