JUNE + JULY + AUGUST 2022

►events marked gray are published in the Alpha-Blog already

At the end of June, Žlutinka took part in the 3rd Czech Championship in DogPuller and took home the prizes for 2nd place in Running and 3rd place in Jumping in the MINI category. And in two weeks we went to Lázně Toušeň for the "Toušeňská 120" race, where thanks to my inability to change the course correctly, Žlutinka took an even more beautiful third place.

In addition to renewed agility training, the rest of the summer was marked by exhibitions:

• NDS (CAC) Mladá Boleslav - Žlutinka - CAC, Geenooo - CAC, NV, CAC ČMKU, BOS aaand shortlisted in the best brace competition!

• IDS (2x CACIB) Klagenfurt, A - it was a beautiful trip, the environment, the lake, the show, and the results! Geenooo 2x BOB, Žlutinka 2x BOS. The best brace competition without a choice, but emotionally it suited them terribly! Both also qualified (again) for Cruft's '23 and won the Alpensieger title. I think they liked the daily swimming in the Wörtersee lake the most.

• IDS Trio CACIB Prague - Letňany exhibition venue is about a 15-minute walk from our house appart. It was more than clear that we must not miss it! Geenooo 1x BOS, 2x CACIB, 1x res.CACIB, little Žluti 1x BOB, 1x BOS, 2x CACIB, 1x res.CACIB.

• The last summer event was the breed specialty Nationale Elevage in France. The French club show must be experienced. More than 100 (!!) Schipperkes of different types, shapes, and natures have been registered. We went with the modest goal of passing the CSAU basic character test with Geenooo (we succeeded) and exhibiting the next day. This is an exhibition where you don't go to win. An exhibition when even VD is of great value (yes, they record awards with NE or RE separately in pedigrees in France. Our setup was not entirely happy: Geenooo totally bald, Zlutina with "false pregnancy" and grazed after puppies, and Masha, the standard same, moody one :o ). Despite everything, however, I still had a good feeling, because - not knowing the relationships, connections, and ancestors of any dogs, some competitors seemed to me to be from another dimension. In reality, from another dimension, we were us - for them. The staunch opponents of the American type are so fixated on their perfection that anything other than the Pinocchio type is "America". And yet, the only member with pure American ancestry in our team always eats the best awards :D We will definitely be back there sometime. And maybe not only for the exhibition :P

SEPTEMBER + OCTOBER + NOVEMBER + DECEMBER 2022

The end of the year was already calmer, on the one hand, we (me) were attacked by covid, and on the other hand, distemper kennel cough gradually affected all the dogs, which we probably brought with us from the Budejovice exhibition. It was long and grueling, and he hit another dog every week. Because of this, we couldn't even participate in the autumn Club Show, where Geenooo and Žlutinka were registered, and then again in best brace competition, and Geenoo was supposed to pass the breeding permission there. Nothing happened, I left them at home. :(

• In České Budějovice (IDS - CACIB) they were in the same composition, both, as Geenooo as Žluti won CACIB, Geenooo additionally BOB, and Žlůťa BOS. And there we met an amazing young handler Julča, who, when she has time, takes our blacks on a leash in the ring. They looked great with Geenooo together and worked perfectly together with Zlůťa as well, which she borrowed for JH. They were professionally shown in pairs by our friend Katka.

• In November, the first Rally-Obedience seminar was held in Hluboká nad Vltavou with the German lecturer Martina Klein, as well as the first official RO exams. Everyone claimed that every dog that gets off the couch must be "dedicated". Well, I tried it and pulled out Žluti, with whom we reached the last possible point limit for fulfilling RO-Z by the breast of a Vietnamese runner.

• The last major event was the Jubilee National Dog Show, organized for the thirtieth anniversary of the founding of ČMKU, the "Třicítka" - CAC. An extraordinary title, Jubilee National Winner 2022, was being entered on it, and I really wanted to grab it. That's why I signed them all up. However, Zlutina came up in heat, so in the end only Mášinda rode, who stayed in the open (so as not to block Zlutina) and Geenooo. He managed to grab the dream title, but then he achieved BOB as well, and since it was really beyond expectations, I didn't hide my joy ... Thank you very much for that! Well, that's the end of 2022  (I will gradually add articles)
