GUNNA LUN DOGS & CATS KIRKA TINA

 

Area search exam, KOSSP "Zagreb", 27th of February 2010

After a really loooong winter, all the snow has gone and the sun shined us the last few days before the exam and on the day of the exam. Time we were definitely treated us well.

Gunna and me more and more step into this season and this year it was our first test. Concerning Gunnas condition, I can not complain. She's in much better condition than usual at this time of year. Thanks to the swimming pool with a trade mill in Fiziovet, she's in good condition. The pool is somewhat succeeded to replace the impossibility of running a bike at snow condition.
Test was judged by the slovenian judges: Matjaž Zanut - area search and Ljubo Meglič - obedience and dexterity.
They judged strictly correct with constructive comments that will serve us.

Na poslušnosti smo dobili 40/50 bodova. Sjedi/lezi i stoj u hodu nisu bili dobri, idi nešto prekratak te vječna naša boljka: puzanje.
On the obedience we got 40/50 points. Sitting /lying and standing in motion were not good, sending was little too short and of course: crawling - it's too boring for Gunna :-)

Dexterity have been really great and I am very pleased. We got 48/50 points. One of the points went out because I forgot to call Gunna directly in position after carrying the dog, and the second part of points went out because Gunna touched the last bar on the long jump.

Points at searching was not so great. Although Gunna gave all her heart, she was too independent in search and we couldn't see enough of directability. However, I am very pleased that she did it with all motivation and heart and speed. I am very happy when I see that she runs with mighty enthusiasm and energy.

Besides too much independence, there were problems with barking at my arrivals (when I appeared in her sight) to figurants but concerning that we didn't practice too much arrivlas, it's quite understandable. But now we know that we must train that and I think that will be solved quickly with training that specific situation.

For searching we got 156/200 points.

Otherwise, the forest was really beautiful. I can not say that it was too easy or too hard. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would assess the score 6 to 7. It was a wood near Ježdovec, straight and without slopes. Ooccasional thorns bushes and thicks and lianas on the grounds were harder part of wood. Required 4 persons in 20 minutes in this situation was pretty understandable and correct in this case.

Biiiiig thanks to professionals Igor Ivanović and Robert Ballon for beautiful photographs that you see :-)
