DONAUESCHINGEN SIGHTHOUND FESTIVAL (D) - 2./3.08.2014

And here we go again.... one of the most beautiful Sighthound events I've ever seen in Europe! Amazing choreography of the main ring events, it's a show for breeders, exhibitors, amateurs and all sighthound lovers! I strongly recommend to see it at least once! It is the first week-end of August, and if you're coming to exhibit dogs, BRING A TENT! Donaueschingen is famous for it's unpredictable weather, from scorching heat to hailstorm, Donaueschingen and its people have seen it all.... And this year wasn't different....
Nonetheless, we had a great time with many friends and colleagues, and it was an honor to meet such an esteemed judge as Mrs. Patti Neale (Sylvan Borzois, USA), and seeing her judge our breed.
The icing on the cake was that I got to handle the father of our F litter pups, Leonid vom Tollhaus "Leo-Schatz"! I'm so glad to find such super owners for such a wonderful dog, and the bond between me and Leo is very strong, we make an excellent team. :)

Anyways, I wish to congratulate all winners, and of course to thank the judges and all the friends who supported us during these two unforgettable days!

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).
