Sighthound Club Show Padenghe del Garda (I) - 30.04.2011
So here we are again, Padenghe is one of the few events here in Italy that is very hard NOT to attend: the show ground is just lovely, the company even better (it is a sighthound specialty show+coursing event organized by Club del Levriero) and usually the weather is great! Even this year, though the weather forecast predicted rain almost all day, the weather was sunny, with a bit of clouds, so the dogs could get a bit of shadow too.
We set off early in the morning for Padenghe del Garda, lovely little town where the show was held, with Bagrijana (who luckily decided to start shedding just the day before the show), Hella and Hiba.
This year our breed judge was Alain Campagne (F), and our results were quite impressive:
Of course, congratulations are due to the winners:
RUSSKIY AZART Versilia Per Aspera Ad Astra Junior BOB, BOB and Junior BIS
RUSSKIY AZART Olimp Imperium Civiltas Best Male, BOS
(breeder: Maria Lazareva)
Also congratulations to my dear friend Anna Szabò, kennel Irish Cream (Irish Wolfhounds), who did a great handling job for Nicola and Sara, who I had the pleasure to meet, and their wolfhounds:
GELERT'S SPIRIT Bandit
CONCHOBAR Petra 1st very promising, Best Puppy, Puppy BOB, 3rd Puppy BIS
Another great surprise for me and a matter of joy was the visit some puppy-owners paid us at the show: HARTWIN and HAZE both came with their new families... and it was so great to see them again!
I had also the pleasure to see our lovely boy HAKON, who lives at kennel Ca' Frosco with Elena Bertolini.
