The Portuguese Water Dog

This seems to be old videos, as the dogs aren't groomed like this anymore (half body shaved in the lionclip), and the explanations are given according to the American Standard and not the FCI Standard (as in the FCI Standard, dogs should have square bodies, the only trim allowed in adult dogs in shows is the lionclip and teeth should close in a scissor bite); but think it's nice to see :))

2nd Caldas da Rainha International Dog Show

Sunday the 18th March 2012 took place in Caldas da Rainha the 2nd Caldas da Rainha International Dog Show.
I went there to see some dogs and as usual to take some pics ;)
I have a new camera, and I'm still learning how to use it...
Inside dogs shows with poor light are a nightmare to professional photographers, so imagine me.... LOL
Well, it was nice to see a lot of great dogs, but also sad to keep on seeing dogs with bad temperaments.......
Seems like a lot of people still don't care about it... :((

Here's a few pics:

Shelties.... :)))

Not only they look beautiful, but also they can perform really well like the one in the video bellow!!!
Enjoy :-)

Happy B-Day Perlita :))

Goodbye Ciske.... :(((

The 16th January "Ciske" (Ciske Vom Banholz) left us.... :((

"Ciske" lived with us for 1 year in 2005, to train and compete for her BH and IPO Trials.

She was a very special girl, and she'll be forever in our hearts!

Untill we meet again "Sauciske"............

Perle is the Portuguese Tracking Champion 2012!!! :)))

Last Saturday the 14th January 2012, took place in Viana do Castelo, the Portuguese Tracking Cup!
3 dogs were entered in the FH-FCI Tracking Trial, and 4 in the Tracking Trial Level 3.
Júlio competed with "Nitro" (Hellboy Vom Banholz) in the Tracking Trial Level 3, but unfortunately Nitro was eliminated. He's still a young dog with no trial experience, as he only has the BH, but we hope for better luck next time. Júlio sure works for that ;)
In the FH-FCI Level Júlio competed with 2 dogs, mother and son - "Perle" (Qista Cega ram) & "Doorn" (Anubis God of Ancient Egypt Vom Haus Sylvus).
"Perle" was the second to compete, and "Doorn" the last one. "Doorn" got a track that ended up by being a lot harder than expected, as the wind started to blow real strong, and he wasn't abble to finish it.... :(
But "Perle" was inspired, and made an excellent work! The Judge Mr. Jose Buggenhout from Belgium gave her Excellent with 97 points, which made her won the Portuguese Tracking Cup 2012 and become the Portuguese Tracking Champion 2012!! :))
"Perle" is now the Champion for the second time in a row - 2010 & 2012 - as in 2011 there was no Tracking Cup....
