CACIB Friedrichshafen

Thursday 12th November I caught a train to Bergamo to visit my dear fried Elena, because I had to handle 2 of her borzois at CACIB Friedrichshafen (D). We woke up early on Friday morning and travelled by car up to a cute Gasthaus in the city centre. It was a nice, clean place and the rooms were big enough to contain Barghal and Dobrinja together. ;) At a 5 min. walk from the hotel there was a very nice park where we could walk the dogs, and at a 10 min walk in the opposite direction there was the lake, witch unfortunately we saw just by night (it was so dark I could hardly see the other shore).

We went to the show ground on Saturday morning and got ready for the show. The judge of the day was Mrs. Diotema Schäfer. In spite of the scarce results accomplished by our boy (v.g.2) I'm happy because he behaved and showed really well. Dobrinja achieved better results: exc1, VDH in intermediate class. And I finally had the honor to meet Cecilia Häggström, Velikij Kennel. She came directly from Sweden and showed her charming Velikij Kirgei and the sweet Arcangelica Ivanova av Adelrose. Beautiful Kirgei won VDH, CAC, CACIB, Best Male and BOS + Bodensee Sieger 2009!!! Congratulations Cecilia! Ivanova won VDH in working class.

On Sunday we were judged by Mr. Elmar Sistermann. Barghal this time got exc2 in champion class, whereas our sweet Dobrinja, a bit intimidated by the judge, got vg3, though he liked her very much ("Sie ist eine sehr schöne Hundin. Schade!"). While Cecilia achieved again great results: Ivanova got VDH and CAC, and Kirgei achieved VDH, CAC, CACIB, BOB + Sieger Friedrichshafen 2009... AND BEST OF GROUP!!!!

We had a very nice time there, and I had also the occasion to meet Claudia, the owner of Velikij Ludmilla and of Chaijka (form Elena's C litter) and Silke, a future owner of one of the puppies of Velikij N litter.

Here's a picture of Kirgei's BOB

Here I am, back from Ljubljana, Slovenia, from a satisfying week-end. I had to handle a borzoi (Adaweya) from the kennel where Bagrijana comes from ( Ca' Frosco Kennel ), and she got excellent both days at all three shows!! the second day she also got CAC. She is quite a beautiful type of bitch... a little bit small for my taste but beautiful. Lovely head and eye, nice fluid movement, good angulations and a wonderful coat. I had a great time and I would like to thank all the friends, breeders, handlers traders and sellers who made these days special! And I would also like to thank PETIITPETHAUS , the general sponsor of the show, who made wonderful collars for this occasion, and who let me help at their stand, spending time with friends and having fun. if you wish to know the results of the show, click HERE Unfortunately I don't have any photos of these two days, but I have some of Adaweya.

Wow what a weekend, I'm still on cloud nine and speechless. It's been a while since we've been to the Reggio Emilia shows, but it's always a pleasure to show there, since usually you win mouthwatering local food like cotechino, prosciutto and other goodies (I'd take a big prosciutto over a rosette anytime lol).
