A hat trick of a different kind - CACIB Wels 2024
Our last show of the year, and probably for quite some time, was coming up, and for me, there's no better way to end the show season than in Wels! We've now done four shows, spread over three days, which is exhausting not only for the humans but also for the dogs. I'm so glad that Khaleesi and Kehlani don't mind it at all, but I can always tell they're happy to be home again, even though they both love being in the show ring.
What's more, we celebrated the third birthday of my D-litter on Friday!

Pride & Precious Future looks incredible! "Kelani" received a Very Promising rating at all three shows she participated in! I would like to sincerely thank the judges who treated this little darling with so much care and love!
Kehlani completed her Austrian Grand Champion title this weekend. She earned 4 of the 5 required CACs (only international shows count towards this), including Best of Breed (BOB), and was shortlisted twice in the main ring. Khaleesi also took home her second Veteran Champion title!

Back at it again!
Just one week after her comeback, Khaleesi's results are skyrocketing! We were in Salzburg on August 11, 2024, met up with some very dear friends, and had a wonderful time. Khaleesi and Kehlani were at their best, and that shouldn't go unrewarded.

Two new championship titles for Kehlani!
We've had a really exhausting weekend! After our last two successful weekends, we went to our last show weekend for a while on June 15th and 16th, 2024. The plan was to get Kehlani ready for her Croatian Champion title, but I hadn't expected her to also get her International Champion title at the same time!

What a comeback after the puppy break!
Just three months after her first litter of puppies, I decided to enter Aletheia in the 3xCACIB show in Tulln. Khaleesi was also allowed to accompany us again, but only as a spectator and good luck charm. Aletheia's comeback couldn't have gone better!

Beautiful dark eye, could be set a little higher on the legs.

Angled fore and hindquarters, beautiful topline, compared to...
Hair quality, gait with a nicely pulled-back tail
A hot weekend with dog lovers
If Kehlani had known how hot it would be this weekend, she probably wouldn't have been so keen to jump into the car. We spent the first weekend in June in Umag. Together with two Australian Shepherd bitches, we participated in the 2x CACIB Umag show, and despite the sweltering temperatures, Kehlani gave it her all and didn't let me down! After the show, it was time for some romping around, and Kehlani clearly enjoyed the company of the two Aussie girls, who play exactly to her liking ;).

A new champion in the "Pride & Precious" household!
I'm always delighted when puppy parents decide to present their little treasures from me in the show ring! This is also the case with Joy, Pride & Precious Entertainment TV.
His career couldn't have started better. At his very first two shows in Vrtjoba, Slovenia, he secured Excellent 1, JCAC, JCACIB, JBOB, and on top of that, BOB on both days he entered! At his third show in Barje, Slovenia, he completed his Junior Champion title with a beautiful Excellent 1, JCAC, JCACIB, JBOB, and BOS! We are very proud of this handsome boy!
International Trick Dog Competition
Since October 2023, BossHoss and I have been participating in the International Trick Dog Competition organized by the Dog Talent Association. It was initially just an attempt to get constructive feedback from judges who have extensive experience with trick training and the dog-human relationship. We learned a great deal and made many wonderful international friends. But I never would have expected the results we've achieved!
BossHoss Incredible Twentyfour:
NOVICE CLASS WINNER
5th PLACE AMATEUR DOG TRAINER CLASS
8th PLACE OVERALL (over 90 teams from all over the world participated)
I'm more than just proud of these results, which are truly impressive. I'm even more excited to see what the future holds for us :)
Today's achievements are yesterday's impossibilities!
Was für ein Weg um das neue Show Jahr zu starten! Nach ewigem überlegen ob ich Kehlani nun für Celje melde oder nicht, habe ich mich doch dazu durchgerungen. Und das sollte nicht unbelohnt bleiben!
