World Dog Show Denmark 2010/06/25
Surely, this was one of the most awaited events of the year, because of many reasons.
First: we have never been that far away from home with the dogs (Herning is about 1700 km from our place), and we have never spent 5 days away from our other dogs who we have to left home….
But on the other hand: to miss a weekend when we had the opportunity to present our dogs in the World Dog Show, than two days later on the EIWC show, this is really something special, and we could not resist to be there!
We left home on Wednesday evening, and after a long and tiring trip we arrived to vingisdetcentre. This place is about 60 km from Herning, but as the EIWC show was placed there we decided to stay all weekend in Vinsgret.
Our accommodation was super! We had a big wood house with full equipped kitchen, with terrace, and with a football size ground covered with short grass in front of our house. That was a dream for both Ivana and Gigi, who played a lot there during the weekend.
On the evening we met with our friends Christa and her daughter Veronika, who took 3 dogs with them: Rudolf (Kippendeen’s Rudolph a wonderful male ), her young bitch Adna (Skipendeers Adna) and Roxi, (Hard Rock of Lahrob) a beautiful young female with lovely temperament. (you can see some earlier posts about her in our blog).
By the evening our other precious friend, Connie Fehrnout-Schmidt arrived with her beautiful dogs and her wonderful daughters Fleur and Anna as well.
We had a very nice evening, but went to sleep earlier- we discussed to go together on next day to the show.
On Friday morning we left Vinsgret to arrive in time to Herning. Thanks to the Dannish Kennel Club professionalism, on the confirmation of the Dog Show Entry we received all information we needed: the exact place, the ring number, the gate to enter, and even the start number, so we found our gate and parking place very quickly. Entering to the Herning exhibition center was very smooth- as there was no parking fee, there was no queu to wait in, and the kind and helpful support staff did a great job. So really, entering to the sho, and find our ring was the most easiest task of the day.
The first surprise was, when we noticed, that we would have to pay 8 EUR for the catalogue. This I found strange: after paying a 95 EUR entry fee per dog, for me it’s alittle bit strange, that a catalogue would cost extra money- I think the 95 EUR can cover also the catalogue. So I decided not to buy it- anyway, the result would be published. But the sponsor of the event was generaus and provided a big bag of dogfood, which made us forgive this catalogue-issueJ
Presenting a dog in such a big event is always a privilege, no matter what would be the result. Maybe that was the reason why I was not nervous- in young class bitches, where Ivana was entered; there was 29 entries, in intermediate class 16, where Gigi was presented.
The atmosphere, the crowd is really beyond belief- and although we had to wait long time until we could enter the ring with Ivana, but it was nice. She was running perfectly and standing perfectly- however this was her first indoor event she behaved better than I expected. Maybe she could have stood a little bit longer by herself, without starting to be deconcentrated- but common, she is just 14 months old! She exceeded al my expectations, when we got excellent. However Ivana was not placed in the first 4 I really was so happy and proud of her! Receiving an excellent in a world dog show from a breed specialist, Sue Cole, out of 29 entries, is far more than I’ve thought we could achieve.
And the best is yet to come….
In intermediate class, two Lahrob Girls were entered: Gigi and Hard Rock (Roxi). Both girls are wonderful, and both Zoltan and Veronica are very good handles (surely better than I am), and the Gigi were just beautiful in the ring. Their movement, the standing, the presentation- they simply took the judge’s heartJ No surprise they both got excellent, and when it was about placement, accompanied by the crowd’s applause Roxi was placed 3rd and Gigi won the class!

What more can make a breeder proud? Out of the 3 entered Lahrob girls, all of them got excellent, and 2 of them were placed in the same class- seeing Gigi and Roxi standing on the center of the ring one as a class winner, the other as 3rd, is every breeders dream come true- I had some tears in my eyes for sure, and if Zoltan were as emotional as I am he surely would have tooJ So I think this was his moment, when the way of his breeding is appreciated, when he could justify that the direction where he goes with the breeding is very good.
After the show, we took a round in the show center- I was surprised of how big the place is, and how many shops are, where they offering anything you can imagine (and what you can not) for the dogs. Really, it was amazing! (and expensive of courseJ)
However, we got back to Vinsget quite early- we were so tired and decided not to wait for the BIS program.
On the evening there was a get together event organized by the Danish team who was arranging the weekend- we had nice drinks, yummy sandwiches- and lots of stories to tell to our dear friends- Frederic, whose Eoghan du Grand Chien du Cullan won Junior world title, Connie, whose Giggles of Eire won World Winner CACIB title among the bitches (presented by her breeder Amy from USA), and we met there with Marcelo Poli and Daniela Iori, who haven’t entered to the WDS, only the EIWC show. Of course, the Italian team would not be complete without mentioning Cristina Leonardi, whose Benjamin Malaussene dei Mangialupi won the working class and the CAC title in the WDS!
So we had a good time, until from 10 o clock they started to shut down the big hall at the hotel- so we went back to our place, and continue the celebration: this time the Finnish team, the Brokenwheel kennel (they won the Junior World Winner title with their young bitch) and with our friends Petra Tomasovicova (Roan Inish Kennel) from Slovakia and Davor Marjanovic from Slovenia (Cudama kennel) joined as well. We had a lot of fun, and celebrated the dogs and the friendship until dawn.
It is really strange in Denmark, that on the 11 PM is still bright and also from 4 AM- so it was hard to sleep, as I am not used to sleep in daylight…
Te beautiful show pictures were taken by Laszlo Kutvolgyi, whose beautiful Iarla also got excellent in the champion class males competition.

As I promised, some pictures from the weekend- sorry for the quality they were taken with my mobile phone:-)
Show News- CAC Budapest OMSE
Today was Ivana's debut in itnermediate classs! However, she is just 15 months old, but I thought, that after getting the HJCH title it would not worth to enter her into young class, but we will start in intermediate class. There fore, I didn't have any expectations- what can I expect among the adults with a big puppy?
the show place itself was quite close to my home, I live about 20 minutes driving form the Northen part of Budapest, so we got there quite early to accomodate ourselves in the shadow. The weather was quite OK, although we saw claudes coming and going but there was no rain.
The judge was Mr. Gyorgy Hartmann, who is often judging sighthounds in Hungary, but somehow, in the last 13 yers, since i have wolfhounds I just did not managed to show him any dogs. But this time we went with Ivana, and the judge was very kind and professional. Ivana got her first CAC title, so she started to collect the titles for the Hungarian chmapionship, and above this, she also got BOB! WOW! this was more than I ever imagined! We stayed for the BIS program as well, but let's be realistic: between the 5-6 years old champions, Ivana had no chance to be placed in the group: BOG was an champion male afghan, and reserve a champion barzoj. But we realy went home happy and proud with the newest trophy of Bogyo! I will upload some pictures later on today, for now this one was taken outside the ring...

FUN Topic
On Tuesday, 15th of June I went with my team as my workplace to a team building event. We choose to visit the beautiful Visegrad, where you can see one of the oldest and prettiest castle of Hungary, and the enviroment the view is breathtaking. Visegrad is a small town by the order of the Danube, surrounded by mountains so it is really worth to visit! Nearby the castle there is a summer bobsleigt lane, and my team enjoyed it a lot! We brought sandwiches, snacks and drinks, we had a picnic.
I also brought Uther with me: as Uther is a real gentleman he was very lovely and friendly with everyone, and also he enjoyed his popularity:-)

Show News MKSZ CAC 2010/06/05
After a long rainy period, finally the sun was shining all day, so the weather and the show place was wonderful! I like these smal CAC shows, where we can meet lot of friends and have a really good time with the dogs as well.
We entered Uther and Bogyo. I have to say, that we were lucky, because in the show morning it was announced, that there was a judge change, and Mr. Attila Kelemen, from Romania will judge sighthounds. I respect Mr.Kelemen because of his knowledge, so I think the judgement was very goodn and his point of view and opinion was important to me.
First came Uther in champion class, where he got CAC and he was qualified into the champion BIS (int his small CAC show there was a special competetion for champion dogs). The judge said that Uther is a wonderful type of male dog, with lovely head, and beautiful angulations- so everything was OK, except, that for him, Uther was a little bit small.
Then came Bogyo, who again, behaved lovely in the ring, so she was doing great both in movement and in standing. The judge said, that Ivana is extremely elegant, and she has a great future, and surely she will develop a trully high quality bitch. Of course, she got Hungaria prima Junior title, and later on, Bogyo and her half-brother Tilk were running for the Best Junior titel, which was given to Ivana! I was really very happy!
On the BIS competition, however Uther made until the first selection, but later on was not placed in the first 3 dogs, but I was not sad about it. But I was a little bit disappointed about the organization of the Junior BIS competetion- it is OK, if there are not so many dogs to call all junior winners in the main ring, but when there are a lot of dogs, as this time, it is really silly to call all the dogs. Simply,m there was no place for Ivana to stand! So it was a pity, that because of that I haven't got even the chance to show her...but beside this we spent a lovely day with the dogs! On the way back, we stopped at our favourite ice cream store, and we bought some ice cream also to Uther and Ivana, because they were so lovely during the day!
Ps: pictures coming soon:-)
