I am writing free of emotions with some more hours gap after the show :-)
What it was like in Graz ?
The show was over for us just when it started.
First enters the ring ATILLIO , with only one opponent: Dalmino Handsome Hijaker.
The teeth were checked no problem, then the length of ears was controlled, not to much Ati´s amusement, especially when his ear was flipped over his eye.
Then she wanted to check his teeth again and explore his body.
That was when I wanted to calm him down and gave him some snacks. In that moment I was forcefully instructed not to feed him in the ring, that it "is stupid". I have to say I was quite thrown off my balance, but luckily it sufficed to show Ati my hand and "feed" him with my fingers.
Anyway, I knew the contest was over.
It is all documented on the video, for the nay-sayers :)
Even so Ati took away Excellent and the 2. place .. and I am very proud of him how he managed theis unstandard situation !
.
With ARGI I entered the ring after this new experience quite calm, still I was surprised by her receiving a " Good " mark.
I will never learn why, as we were told nothing during the presentation, and we didint wait for the papers, we´d have to wait several hours.
So the report will remain a mystery for us .. maybe for the better.
A WEEK AGO SHE WON THE "BOJ" AND NOW ONLY " GOOD", QUITE A CONFLICTING OPINIONS !??
Our AIDA went into the ring easy, I didnt care for the ban of feeding, for the judge and for the result ! All the more when I noticed that the other handlers were alllowed to feed their dogs freely, suddenly not "stupid" anymore..
Aida won res. CACA behind a beautifil bitch CHRISTI ORMOND CHANICA, who later won BOB and BOG 4 , absolutely fair and square.
That´s the way it was in Austria :-) good it is over.
Maybe a reminder to others, what may happen to them in the ring, and be ready for it !
