Considering that: 1 - Hella hasn't been under the spotlight for a while, having closed very fast and with success her two      Junior Championships (SLO & HR) 2 - today was a beautiful sunny day I decided to ask my brother to make some stacked pictures. Unfortunately my brother is not a dog photographer, so he couldn't catch fully Hella's lovely structure. Please take in consideration that Hella is shedding...

Saturday we arrived in Ljubljana, to attend a double show, CACIB in the morning and the 19th Sighthound Specialty, organized by the Slovenian Club for Sighthounds, in the evening. Looking at the day as a whole I will say that it has been a very nice, and I had occasion to meet a lot of friends that I didn't see in a while. The morning show was judged by Andreja Novak ( Ninochka's Borzois ) Hiba achieved exc1, JCAC, Junior Winner, JBOS. Her judgement critique: " 15 months old, beautiful head and expression, correct bite, very good top line, chest still needs to develop, correct front and rear angulation, good feet, nice long tail, good mover coming and going and from side. " thank you very much to Nikola and Nina, the great potographers of 2Ndogs.com  for this excellent picture of Hiba's outstanding movement!! Can't say I was so satisfied for the specialty show, but anyway it was a very nice day, and at the club show Borzois had a speci

Ok, 2011 is over, but we're ready to start the new show year with enthusiasm! Unmissable date for us is the triple Ljubljana show. On Saturday there will be a CACIB + Special show, and Sunday another CACIB. So I hope to meet many friends there, since entries for borzois are really big, considering the past years: 18 (10-8) for Saturday's CACIB, 23  (!!) for the Specialty Show and 13 (9+4) for Sunday's show. So all that's left to say is good luck to all exhibitors and may the best one win!
