GUNNA LUN DOGS & CATS KIRKA TINA

 

Austrian Championship, Eggendorf, 14. - 16. of August 2009

As my dear friend and kolegue Ana noticed, by this competition we broke some our rules :-) We said that we would never compete during summer because of the heat. I said that I would never exchange summer for competition...
But, life as itself is the best teacher and we learned this time that we should never say never and that every door must stay open.
I went to competition during summer and Ana competed in 2 disciplines!
At the end, it was really not so hot as we supposed and I really enjoyed in company of 7 KOSSP people.

But, competition during my vacations had some misspoints. I came directly from the sea and I didn't do anything with Gunna 2 motnhs. Plus month and the half before because of her borelia.
Anyway, we got 35/50 points. The judge, (Vilém Babička - CZ), was really not hard.

Dexterity was 47/50 points, really good. I'm very satisfied with tables because she did it perfectly. Her motiv at dexterity is great, she don't have bad experiences with gunshot and she is open. Problem with few months of nonworking is that she go forward as truly border: she want more :-)
Katja Skulj (SLO) was judging here.

Searchin area was excelent, not too easy, not too hard. Truly area for competing: moderate open wood. Some area was meadow so it was good area for fast dogs.
We searched at Sunday at 9:30am. The sun was relatively high (but not tipical summer high) and there wasn't any of wind.
Gunna was excelent, even after long period of nonworking. After her borelia, I decaded to keep her always in good shape because of recidive. So, I month before the sea I went to our Fiziovet (LINK) which has a swimming pool with track. In combination with bike running it was amazing and Gunna was fully recovered and was in excelent shape. She searched in full speed all the time, she went where i send her and was amazing.
We finished 3 minutes before, in 17th minute with 3rd, the last figurant. We lost some points at barking which weren't excelent but I didn't work with her so it's ok. Nice points :-) She is excelent dog for recall method (dog is running between handler and figurant when he find it) because she likes to run a lot. Maybe her previous life was in the greyhound body :-)
We got 180/200 points. Only 14 from 44 dogs passed in this wood.
Judge was Martin Gut (CH). We were totally 6th and I'm very satisfied concerning that I didn't work with her so long period.

The best event this weekend was my friend Ana with Mona which was first in both disciplines: disaster and area search so I congratulate from bottom of my heart.

Also, at the ned of the day showed to us that we're 2nd with result :-)

In generally, I'm really grateful for such dog as Gunna is, for her talent and for her amazing character. Every thing which she don't do it, it's my fault. She gives her heart 150 procent and me, Ijust enjoy in her and love her without questioning, wheather she's the first, in the middle or the last one...
