SPRING CLUB SHOW Padenghe sul Garda (I) - 2./3.05.2014

I'd like to share the big news before everything else....

HIBA is now ITALIAN CHAMPION!!!



it's the 7th Championship title for her, and the 18th BOB in only 3 years of showing. This girl surely made us proud, and we're so honored to have such an outstanding girls from our first litter.

Ok, now that my bragging has come to an end, I'd like to talk more about the annual Spring Club Show hosted by the Italian Sighthound Club at West Garda Hotel in Padenghe sul Garda. Unfortunately this year wasn't the sunniest of week-end, and we had heavy rain on friday 2nd, so the show ground turned into a swamp, making it difficult for the dogs and handlers to run without slipping and turning your beautiful groomed dog into a muddy mess (happened twice in our ring, actually... and one of them was... hem hem... me...). The next day showed us the famous May sun that marks Padenghe as one of the most beautiful Sighthound events in Italy, so a lot less slipping and a lot more running... :) It was a very special week-end for us, since we were surrounded by siblings and relatives of our dogs, so it was like a big family reunion. And of course we have the occasion of meeting all the friends that we can't meet as often as we'd like. A big thank you goes also to the great photographers of this event, my mother Anna Valle and Barbara Pensa.

In addition to all the lovely news, another very pleasant event occurred. Two foreign exhibitors decided to honor our Country and our Club by entering their lovely dogs at the show... Stephan and Susanne are great people with lovely dogs, Leonid com Tollhaus and Ajoscha iz mira alf, and we hope they had a positive experience this week-end and will come back to our shows soon!

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).
