Bagrijana&friends

Today my sister Marta, my brother M atteo and me participated to a horse riding competiton of our Horse Riding Association " Circolo Ippico Triestino ". It was very satisfying and we had the chance to try the track with two different horses (or ponies, for the smaller children). It was a wonderful sunny sunday and we enjoyed it very much. the teacher prizes the winners: we all did a great job, with zero penalities for everyone! from left: my sister Marta, Verbena the horse, me and my brother Matteo at the end of the competition Verbena takes some rest while I unsaddle her.

On CAC Maribor there was an interesting and stimulating Junior Handling competition. There were a lot of talented young girls and boys, and only five of each class were to be chosen for the Junior Handling finals. Neza Jereb , with her English Cocker Spaniel Bella won the Best Junior Handler in the older cathegory and BEST JUNIOR HANDLER OF THE DAY! Congrtulations to Neza and Bella for the excellent job!

Today we went to Maribor for the CAC show with Bagrijana, Adaweya and Dashkova (all three of Ca' Frosco Kennel , but the last two owned by the breeder, Elena Bertolini). It has been a very interesting and satisfying day. We met lots of friends and had a wonderful time together. The judgements were really positive (Judge Barbka Novak, SLO): ADAWEYA champion class: exc., CAC. Adaweya is now SLOVENIAN CHAMPION (in homolagation). BAGRIJANA open class: exc., CAC. Bagrijana needs just one more title to finish the championship. in these pictures with Bagrijana there is Filigranovaja Figurka Wolkowo (exc. and RCAC in open class) DASHKOVA junior class: v.g. But I'm positive for the future because she is really a nice girl and she was a bit insecure, since it was her first day on an open air show and the music was very loud. Congratulations are due to Andreja Novak ( Ninochkas Borzois ) who won Best Junior, Junior BOB and Best of Opposite Sex with Ninochkas Zoya b

A.I.P.R. (Associazione Italiana Pastori Russi), the Italian Club for Russian Shepherd Dog Breeds organized it's first club show, held near Bologna the 13.04.09. Ural, Central Asian Shepherd Dog male, started his show carrer there, gaining a well earned exc. 2 in junior class males. It has been a great day and I appreciated handling this wonderful dog.
