Continuation of the summer exhibition season

27 ^th July 2025 - This year's Whippet Club show was anything but a rainy day in Bordovice. Mrs. Anna Kochan from Poland was the delegate judge for this show. The long-time judge awarded both of our boys with a nice opinion and placed them in the places of winners of their classes. For Tori it was just a symbolic warm-up before participating in the world show in Helsinki in a few days and Gali made us very happy with a nice performance and subsequent victory.

The original plan was to go see the exhibition with the youngest members of our team, Mesa and Cusco, so they could soak up the exhibition atmosphere, but unfortunately there was a mix-up on the exhibition date (I thought it was Sunday, July 27th) and so we already had another program planned for the correct day of the exhibition, which made it impossible for us to visit the exhibition. Too bad, my mistake!

However, Zorka managed to cope with both boys without our presence and support.

17th - 20th July, 2025 - A demanding show weekend in two countries. There were two international shows in Hungary and Poland, where we wanted to show the boys. Gali in his homeland in Hungary and THora in Poland, because on the second day of the shows there was a judge whose opinion mattered to us.

4^th -7^th July 2025 - At the beginning of the holidays, a national and international dog show is traditionally held in Wisła (PL), which is "back home" so to speak, so we can't miss it. This time we took Gali and Lisbon. Gali participated in both, Lisbon only in the international show. Líza is one CAC away from fulfilling the conditions for becoming a Polish champion. We didn't go anywhere all last year because of her knee injury and constant limping. This took its toll in the form of not quite perfect show condition, but Lisbon incredibly, almost miraculously, lost the kilos she had gained due to lack of exercise and performed brilliantly. The judge was an Italian breed expert and incredibly strict, so I was actually pleased with Líza's result, because it could have turned out worse. In any case, we don't have a champion. But Gali was very pleased and won his class, while the others took home the "VD" (very good award). Two days before that he also participated in the national show under a Polish judge, where he finished second.
