I was ecstatic to receive our quarterly magazine from the Badischer Dachshund Club about a week ago and see that both Simon and I had articles in there. Mine was about our spurlaut exam (based on this text) with translation assistance from Simon and Simon's was about his BHP exam with Baxter. I know I have written about both tests on the blog, but I thought it would be fun to see the articles. Sorry to our English readers for the German!
I love the photo of Freddie at the top. It captures him perfectly. |
A good time had by all and lots of great results! |
Last, but not least, our SDC magazine came the other day and we were happy to see our results in the Ausstellung in Ausland section (Exhibitions outside of the country-for Karlsruhe and Wels) as well as in the Prüfungs in Ausland section (Tests outside of the country). As I mentioned last week, Simon won the Wanderpokal given out by the Jagd group for Best dog handler in the section, and these tests contributed to that score.
Even though I am a driving force for practicing and participating in tests with the dogs, Simon really is the man that does the performance work and I am very thankful for that. Now as we start on new practices and tests, I will definitely be helping out. This year we will be working with the boys on tracking and getting into the fox/badger dens and we hope that we will have success on both fronts. Time will tell, but for now we are happy with our success in 2013!
