Ősagárd double speciality Show

On the 20th and 21st of August we attended on a double-sighthound speciality show in Ősagárd.

Ősagárd is a small village in Nograd county, about 50km from Budapest (approx 300 locals), but for a weekend in August this beautiful village, surrounded by the mountans, turns into a grat event for sighthound lovers around the world! the weekend contains programs for all the family: presentation of dogs on the stage, agility- dog-dancing-flyball presentations, children programs, fair of handmade traditional products, concerts, and opportunity to taste home-made delicious traditional Hungraian meals. And beside this grat double-show for sighthounds with breed specialist judges. This weekend was also a special opportunity to get the Hungarian Champion title for those dogs, who can achieve CAC title in both days.

We had a great weekend, with great results!

On saturday, Uther got only "good" qualification, because Mrs. Müller, from switzerland was not accepting any missing thoot, so however, she liked very much Uther, she did not tolerate the missign thoot. But Ivana did quite well, however she was still unsecured in the ring, but was OKenough to the CAC title.

On Sunday, Uther went CAC in champion class, and later on best male as wel, and Ivana got again CAC title, she was much better in the ring on the second day. Judge was Mr. Marku Mahonnen (Power Horn IW and wippet kennel) from Finnland. He told lot of nice things about both of our dogs, I was really very proud of them.

with these titles Ivana got the HUNGARIAN CHAMPION title and she is ust 17 month old!!!

And another special thing about this show: on the BOB competetion, Uther was handled by my brother Axel, who has not presented dog since 10 years! I was so happy that he was there with me in the BOB ring- thsi was the very first time we stood together there!

More pictures soon!

A fabtastic weekend with great friends! Who can ask for more? That is what we had in Donaueschingen. 150 entered wolfhounds, 1100 entered sighthounds on the show- breed specialist judges- it was all there! We had a very good time!

And teh results? Well we have mixed emotionts, but we mostly agreed with them. Especially on sunday, when the weather was terrible and both Gi Gi and Ivana were tired- we could not expect more from our young girls. But we are very proud and happy on the same time because overall all Lahrob girls did well, and because we are very happy to celebrate our friend's success!

So the results:

Gigi: on saturday excellent 4, on sunday very good (hihihi, al really wonderful dogs receive very good once in a while)

Ivana: on saturday excellent, on sunday disqualified (well, she was sooo not in the mood, I shouldn't entered with her in the ring)

But we are extremely happy and proud of Hard Rock of Lahrob (Roxy) she won intermediate class both days, and above this she won CAC on saturday and res. CAC on sunday.(see picture above)
