Vrtojba International, Slovenia 9.11.2008

On Sunday was one of the rare occasions this year that we went to a show as exhibitors. Due to my judging and work commitments this year has been rather "dry" show wise. But it was time for our youngsters to get some idea what this show thing is all about. Breed judge was Mr Tomo Pavić from Croatia. Since I misplaced my catalogue I'll give you more details at a later time and also some better… Continue

CAC Zasavje, Slovenia

Puppies do make the time flow bye and our "A" litter is already 4,5 months old. So it was about time one of them gets his first chance in the show ring. I was very happy to be able to show M'Eudail Ars today for his new owner Miss Ajda Slavec. This being a strangley obedient litter (somehow not the kind of setters I usually breed), he actually behaved throughout the whole thing - ran with all 4 on the ground, did not chew on his leash and… Continue
