EIWC 2010- Denmark

As I promised earlier, I wrote some lines about this year's EIWC show in Denmark.

We were really happy to participate. As our accomodation was on place, we did not have to travel around so much, and we estabilished the tent of our friends Christa and Veronica on the day before, so there was no big preparation on the day of the show at all.

But the organization, the event itself was excellent. The rings were VERY huge (I think this time too big), the ring stewarts and the judge were under tents the critiques were written with typing machine in english (so there was no challenge to read it), gifts were provided to every entered dog- so overall it was perfect. But again a small thing also ruined a little bit our happy feeling- the catalogue costed 10 Euros- well, again I did not buy it. Not because 10 EUR is a big money, but because it is a principle for me- I paid 95 EUR to participate in a show, i think a catalogue cost should be covered in the entry fee.

But let's talk about the nice things: the show begun in time, the judge Knut Olva Wille was sooo kind and professional. I loved the way he judged. Unfortunately Ivana was on her worse day- she simply had enough of the weekend, she did not want to stay, however she ran in the ring perfectly. But although we received an excellent critique and the judge was very pleased with Ivana, we only got very got because of her behaviour. I have to confess, I was very-very sad, not because the result- I agreed with it. But because it is really anoying, that I have a wonderful dog who cannot behave in the ring! I had tears in my eyes, because in this case I could only blame myself that I was that fool to even present her, when she clearly did not had any intention to being shown.

But after a half an hour I was allrigth (thanks to Tore and his nice words, and for sharing some chocolate biscuits as well)

On the other hand it made us very happy, that Gigi was doing very well again! This time she was placed 4th and in front of her, Christas and Veronicas Hard Rock of Lahrob was placed 3rd!

I was really very happy.

And I was happy to celebrate each of the nice placings of our friend's dogs: EoghanIII du Grand Chien du Cullan had junior EIWC winner title (at the final competetion Zoltan was presenting him!) Connie's Pitlochry's O' Bryan Orak winning best male BOS EIWC winner handled by Fleur, and not forget to mention Christas and Veronicas male Rudolph who won open class, and again we were very happy to congratulate to Daniela Iori and Marcello Poli, when their Ada dei Mangialupi reached the top, and won EIWC winner BOB and BIS titles!

We spent the evening with a nice barbecue with friends before our long trip to home on next day's morning.

See you all in 2 years time on the Italian EIWC show by the lake Garda!
