Puppies´s meeting from Joy in motion kennel
♥ Breeders of our Atrey, Rasťo and Janka, organized a nice meeting of puppies from Joy in motion kennel near Košice. There were ten dogs, young puppies but also adult dogs as Atrey´s mom Cloudine and her children, Atrey and his two sisters Avril and Aschley. Dogs had a great time together, ran around and young ones could have learnt something new from older. We trained individual exercises which are needed to pass the exam OVVR. We could have seen nice work and talents of retriever which were presented by our dogs during retrieving dummies. We are very happy that we could have participated in this meeting, train and got to know new owners of puppies with whom we and Rasťo could have shared our current experience with education and training of our retrievers.

Steward: (OB 1): Karin Ďurčanská, Mária Hudáková

class OB Beginners
Yaky - 1st place 261,5 points, excellent

class OB 1
Atrey - 1st place 267,5 points, excellent

♥ This was our last Obedience competition in this season which took place in Turňa nad Bodvou in the area of Pension Réva. This time it was very special day for me for several reasons. The first one, really important, was that I brought also Yaky with me who competed in class OB Beginners for the very first time. Our preparation with Yaky for one of the most difficult exam in obedience lasted only from the half of September but we practiced hard so our trainings reflected in excellent results. Another reason was that I was able to steward class OB 1 because I have recently obtained a licence of a steward. This time we have entered the ring not only as handlers but also as stewards together with other two stewards for class OB Beginners and OB 1. Thanks to the diligence preparing everything went well. Altogether eight competitors joined this competition. Four in class OB Beginners and four in class OB 1.

Yaky showed himself as a very clever dog who passed the examination for the first time of the high points, 261,5 points with mark excellent and placed on the 1st place. He worked out everything to its full potential and made everything taste as it should. With Atrey I competed again in class OB 1 where we achieved a high score 267,5 points with mark excellent and placed on 1st place. We fulfilled a condition to start in more difficult class OB 2. In this beautiful and successful day I was very pleased with my boys and that our preparation wasnˇt useless but achieved results. I´d also like to congratulate the other contestants to their successes and successfully managed exams.

Weekend seminar and training with Martin and Táňa Incédi, CZ - Trusalová

♥ We attended a training and workshop of working tests for retrievers in Trusalová from 14th to 16th October. According to the fact that I am fascinated by everything what has something in common with training, it doesn´t matter if it is Obedience or training a dog for work, I was very pleased that I get a lot of new information which are useful for me and move me further in what I like and I am dedicated to. We went there with our Yaky, who has surprised me by his skill and enthusiasm for work since his childhood.

The seminar started on Friday evening because of great interest. We learnt general information about using a retriever for work and also method of dog training from puppy to adult dog. Trainings started the next day in the morning at seven, all dogs were sorted according to their skills and trained with Martin or Táňa, me and Yaky trained with Táňa. Each pair trained with a trainer in a specific time. I had also the opportunity to monitor the work and method of training dogs in the highest class so I learned many new tricks.

Already in the first seconds after the onset of the training was Yaky commended for a very nice heelwalk, what is reflected in our preparation for obedience trials. We started from the basic exercise, a simple aport, we carried out gradually more and more difficult exercises like retrievering through some obstacle, or bringing dummies that were thrown on the opposite sides, and I had to show Yaky the right direction and sent him there. Finally, we tried searching in grass, using a whistle, which is preparing for more complex exercises. Yaky was repeatedly commended that he is very handy and clever because he could have quickly learnt new things that we had never done before, which made me very happy. On Sunday we continued in our training when we again widened scope of what we had practiced the day before. This weekend I got a lot of new information, but mainly practical advice to the next training. We look forward to another opportunity to go to the seminar and training of working tests.

Slovak Championship in Obedience 2011 - (3rd round of the League Obedience)
Referee: Ing.Tamáši Pavel
Steward: (OB Beginners,1,2,3): Bubáková Gabriela

class OB 1
Atrey - 6th place in class OB 1
Atrey - 2nd place in overall assessment of League Obedience 2011

♥ On Saturday Slovak Championship in Obedience 2011 was held in Malý Lapáš which we attended. At the beginning it seemed that there would be few competitors but finally 16 handlers registered who competed for a title in four classes : beginneres, OB 1, OB2, OB 3. Level of competition was high with international participation, all competitors were prepared well and so competition wasn´t missing. Me and Atrey joined the class OB 1 where we were placed on sixth place. Points were counted in overall assessment of the League Obedience 2011. We were placed on the second place after counting all points which we gained at all competitions in Obedience in 2011. This year we´ll participate one trial in Košice and then we will start to prepare for a new season in the League Obedience which starts in 2012. We´d like to compete in class OB 2 according to new regulations passed by FCI. I attended a seminar for stewards at this competition and after examination I received a license to perform a work of steward at competitions and trials in Obedience.
Obedience is a very nice sport when a dog and his handler have to be perfectly coordinated but what´s needing is everyday training but the result is worth it.

♥ On Saturday we travelled to Poland to Bialystok where the international dog show was held on Sunday but we also took a tour around Poland. The nearer to the sea we were, the flatter and without any hill the country was, everywhere around were marshes, lakes and on the ground sand instead of soil. It may seem to you that Poland can´t surprise you but it´s not true. Beautiful repaired wide roads and paved pedestrian with railing in every village. Exhibition was huge, several rings were in the building, rest of them were at the stadium. There were everything what exhibitors could wish to have. There were also stands with refreshments and breeding supplies near this area. Atreyko was showed in champion class where he got excellent 3rd. After the dog show ended we travelled home but we stayed for one night in a very nice complex of a park, a playing field, a lake, a small cottage and a big building “Zimna woda”. In the evening we walked around the lake and trained obedience in front of the building. In the morning we had a quick warm-up , half-hour-training of obedience which we enjoyed a lot because we don’t usually have so big and nice area for training at home. After breakfast we got into a car and went to Slovakia. After long and tiring journey we happily arrived.

♥ Like last year, so this year we decided to go to Ukraine to the dog show. This time we signed up to three shows during one weekend, 2 x CACIB and Special show of hunting breeds – CAC UA.

The first one was Special show on Saturday morning where we won champion class and took CAC, Best dog and Best of breed BOB. We waited for final competitions with other thirty hunting dogs so chances for getting first places were small but hope and joy were greater when we stayed there only with five dogs and finally we were placed 3rd and took the title BIS III !!!

In the afternoon at the same day we participated in the second dog show where we could get the title CACIB which we needed for obtaining championship. This time Atreyko also put a smile on my face. We got excellent 1 and titles CAC and CACIB in champion class and so we accomplished requirements for obtaining the title International Showing champion C.I.E. !

The next day we showed in working classs with different competition. In spite of that fact, Atrey won 1st place with excellent 1 and the title CAC, so he became Champion of Ukraine. This title and a certificate was given to him right at place. Atrey, congratulations !

During whole weekend weather was sunny, the exhibition took place in a nice park, we felt very well there, we met lots of friends from different countries who we know from other dog shows, we had very nice accommodation from the last year and both of us, me and Atrey, enjoyed showing. Atrey showed very nice and he immediately took judge by his pose, kind expression and good movement which could be showed in big showing areas. We went home full of new experiences and happiness on Sunday afternoon and we were accompanied by good mood also when we had to wait for a long time at border crossing. Customs looked like another exhibition of dogs because all dogs were out of cars and so customs officers could see the beauty and diversity of different breeds.

♥ 10.5.2011 Atrey’s and Happy’s children, the puppies from litter K , celebrate their
1st birthday. During that first year small and cute puppies became big and juvenile dogs, who always want to discover new things and who are always happy when they can do something wrong. The nicest thing is that we cannot be angry at their nicely smiling mug and their continuously torque tails. An intension with which they twist is directly proportional to the size of damage which was made.

All puppies we would like to wish good health, love, successes in exhibitions and trials and the least damage to their owners. All owners of puppies, we would like to wish a lot of patience and joy in other moments with their pets and always smiling face with the sight at the mischief.

♥ We got new photos of Iasmine Jorcanis, a daughter of our Atrey. **Photos**

OVVR - Breeding trial for retrievers (Ability test) - Bernolákovo
Referee: MVDr. Dušan Valenta
                    Ivana Tormová
Yaky - 178 points, I.price

♥ On Saturday 7th May we with our Yaky attended breeding trial, which took place in
Bernolákovo close to Bratislava. Weather was really good, it was hot and nice. All dogs worked with great pleasure. I liked the sourrounding where the test took place very much especially a pond where dogs were tested in retrieving apports from deep water. During break when the judgments were written into pedigrees, the dogs had a great fun in water and they exhausted all energy reserves so during whole way to Košice Yaky was sleeping. We´d like to congratulate to others who attended this trial with us, and to thank for pleasant atmosphere of this day.
