Spain ๐ช๐ธ, Reus, ๐ฎx๐๐๐๐๐ 24-25.01.2026
One of those weekends when you go not for titles, but for real evaluation.
The judges @gerard.jipping & Guido Schfer were strict, principled, and uncompromising. I fully agree with their opinions and truly respect and recommend these experts if you want to hear an honest assessment of your dog, not just collect another meaningless title for personal ambition ๐ค๐ผ
Our Cirneco #SilventoRoma saw a show lead for the first time in a year and a half.
In her entire life, she had been shown only once – as a junior in UA ๐บ๐ฆ.
There was almost no preparation: a strong virus followed by a terrible tonsillitis, and there I was, running with her in the ring on Saturday with a fever of 38ยฐC.
That exact moment when having a handler is not a luxury, but a necessity. Honestly ๐
We came aiming for CACIB. Sure ๐
We ๐ฏ were honestly afraid of a possible disqualification due to behavior.
In the end, Roma received CAC without CACIB.
Both judges said the same thing – Roma needs training.
Hard to disagree with that.
One very special moment – Kristian was at a dog show for the first time.
In his 2 years and 4 months of life – the very first time ๐ฅน
I still believe dog shows are not the right place for toddlers, but I agreed to bring him for one hour.
And, to be fairโฆ
his behavior was more stable than Romaโs ๐คฃ
Huge thanks to my brotherโs family for babysitting Kristian on Saturday,
and to my mom @nstakhorska for saving the situation on both days, especially on Sunday ๐ค
And in generalโฆ
Sometimes it is incredibly important not to lose yourself, to shake off the dust and return to things that once brought real joy โค๏ธ
As for Roma – she did well. Truly.
I expected it to be worse.
Will I give her another chance? I honestly donโt know yet ๐ง
Right now, I simply donโt have the time to train her properly. Unfortunately.
What next? NITRA ๐ธ๐ฐ this weekend
