The Club Show 18.7.2010

The most important event of the year, our specialty show for Cirneco dell'Etnas & Italian Greyhound (known as Club Show), was organised for the 10th time. This time we had a Cirneco breeder judge, Barbka Novak (kennel Seta del Oro) judging both breeds and we had record entries: 36 Cirnecos and over 70 IGs.

I had only two dogs with me: Cirneco Iosono Deja Vu "Peppi" & Italian Greyhound Iosono Fiamma "Jemma" who had just three months ago whelped her puppies.

Agility success, we went up to 2nd class

We participated in two agility competitions with Tosca (Iosono Diamante) 12-13.6.

In 12th of June we had one start that was clean run and we got our first agility certificate! Due to this we are now competing in the 2nd class! Our placement was 7th ouf of 36 dogs.

The following day was another agility competition in Espoo and our first competition in 2nd class. It was a tricky one but we did one mistake in the beginning of the course in a very easy spot (sigh) and lost some time due to it. The rest of the course went without mistakes, we avoided all the tricky ones. So it was a quite good start in 2nd class. :) Our placement was 8th ouf of 21 dogs.

Joensuu National Show 29.5. & International Show 30.5.2010

Day 1 national show: Dina (Iosono Divina) was Best Female 2nd with CAC and became Finnish Champion.
Day 2 international show: Dina was BOB with CACIB.

Agility competition in Rauma 29.5.2010

Tosca (Iosono Diamante) & Inka had two starts:
1. start: We got one fault due to Inka's mistake but otherwise the course went extremely well, time was a lot of under the standard course time. We placed 5th out of 30 dogs.
2. start: not qualified due to Tosca's interest to A-frame instead of jump but the rest of the course went without faults. ;)

Derby lure coursing competition in Hyvinkää 23.5.2010
