I am back! The thesis has been turned in to my committee and the other copy will make its way to the Dean's office by the end of the week. I am happy that is over, now I have to study for my exam...
But currently, that is neither here nor there. This weekend is a big weekend for us as we are hosting our friends and breeders in Switzerland for the Eurodogshow! I'm more excited for the people than the show, but I think it'll be an experience. Over the course of 4 days there are supposed to be 11,000 dogs (of course some of those dogs are also registered for the all breed show tomorrow). It's a big deal and I'm a bit surprised that they would choose a country as expensive as Switzerland to host it.
We will not be partaking in the all breed show tomorrow. I wish we would have as the judge is supposed to favor our type of dog and there are NO intermediate males. Might have been a nice start towards a Swiss Ch title. Oh, well. That's life!
Saturday will be the Swiss Club show. I'm not sure how many Dackel will show up, but I am guessing that if they come for the Euro show, they will also join for the club show.
Sunday is the Eurodog show. There are 58 standard wirehaired dachshunds entered with 30% being juniors. Baxter is registered in junior class, so we'll see if the judge is forgiving with his bit of wobble in the back. His muscles are starting to nicely tighten up, but he still needs a few more months...
After these shows, we are taking a break and going back to more hunting practices. September brings spurlaut practices and we're hoping that the small one finds his voice.
I'm going to try and blog on both days complete with pictures. So get ready!
