Breeding Greyhound Club of British races, our home club, organized two club show for whippets and greyhounds at the occasion of 30th club anniversary. The show took place at Konopiště Castle in the surroundings of game enclosures. I could not miss this even with my whippet girls although the weather forecast was not posistive. And it fulfilled, the day was rainy and cold. It spoilt the beautifl effect our club shows usually make.
Judge job was accepted by Italian judges. Everything was set only in the end as originally we were supposed to have judges from Germany and Holland. But regarding the pandemie situation they were not permitted to travel to the Czech Republic any more and we were obliged to ask the Italians as they were still enabled to travel. They are a very appreciated and successful Italian whippet breeder (whippet kennel Sobresalto) and judge Arnaldo Cotugno as well as a vet and judge in one person Fausto Cavalieri who is not exactly a whippet specialist but he judges X.group of FCI, which are all greyhaunds.
26th September 2020 - day one
Club Shows awarding CAC title and "Club Winner"
My reared one Aureolin Hue Baya Nobles aka Olin participated in both shows with us. Our main aim was not to reach the highest positions but to absolve succesfully bonitation which was the part of the shows. Only two of litter A puppies assumed bonitation - becoming a stud bitch/dog and they are Berroo and Olin. The other clientts are not sure yet about showing itself or their dog's condition.
The first Show day was rainy and we stayed the whole day in exhibition tents except for showing and exhibiting itself. The weather did not do good to the gilrs. Berroo was not presentable and was all shaky. Her fear from an exhibition table that had appeared in Slovakia, cane back. It was good enough to receive the Excellent mark and advanced into the final of six joung bitches from total fifteen presented. I have nothing to complain about. Valentina appeared in the Winner Class where shr gained as usual the second position from total number of eight champions. She got the title Res.CAC and as the first place bitch is already the Czech Champion, the title was passed to Valentina. As one of three bitches she also received a nomination to the Best Movement of breed. I am very satisfied.

27th September 2020 - day two
Club Show awarding CAC title
The second day was not as seccessful as the first one. Valentina got the Excellent mark and advanced to the final six bitches but without order. And little Berroo showed herself worse than on Saturday. The judge appreciated her with her very first time Very Good mark. It is funny, because it finished the same way as Valentina didi two years ago. I do not take it too serious, every champion has to get his first "VG".
As I already mentoined above except the show, bonitation also took place. Where both Berroo and Olin were successful. They received nice grades. They are both full teeth, scissors bite, dark eyes, correct ear. They have the right whippet expression and nature. Olin has both testicles. And what is very important they both have standard.
Mirďa aka Aquamarine Lagoon Baya Nobles with his family came to Konopiště on Sunday to support us. I was so delighted to see them all again. Mirďa is such a beautiful rascal and I have the impression he smiles all the time which is visible in the group picture above.
