Direkt im Anschluss an unseren Wanderurlaub in den Bergen fuhren wir vergangenes Wochenende weiter zur Doppel-CACIB
nach Innsbruck. Leider war bedingt durch die extreme Hitze der letzten Wochen Chaps Fell in keinem besonders guten Zustand
(Fellwechsel, viel im Wasser usw.), aber Frank Kane war als Richter geladen und das wollten wir uns auf keinen Fall entgehen lassen!
Chap (CH A Sense of Pleasure’s No Risk No Fun) wurde beide Tage in der Championklasse ausgestellt.

Am Samstag wurde er von Richterin Claudia Berchtold (A) mit V3 / Exc. 3 bewertet. Am Sonntag bei Frank Kane (UK) war es sehr spannend! Chap war einer seiner Favoriten, wurde dann aufgrund seines Fells „leider“ auf V3 / Exc.3 gereiht!

Die Konkurrenz in der Championklasse ist natürlich immer hart, wir sind sehr zufrieden mit den Platzierungen an beiden Tagen!

Es hat richtig Spaß gemacht, bei Frank Kane im Ring zu stehen. Die Art und Weise wie er richtet ist herausragend und er hat – was leider viel zu selten
passiert – seine Entscheidungen, was er an den Hunden mag oder nicht mag usw. den jeweiligen Handlern im Ring auch erklärt.

Chaps Beurteilung lt. Richterbericht von Frank Kane:

„4 years, black, strong masculine dog, good ribcage, he uses his hocks very well, not in his best coat and this shows in his crop and tail, good bone, good eye colour“;
Exc. 3

Last weekend we attended the Double-CACIB in Innsbruck. Although Chap was not in good coat due to the hot weather of the last weeks, we decided to show him because Mr. Frank Kane was judge on one day and we did not want to miss this opportunity! Chap was shown in Champion Class on both days:

On Saturday Chap was rated V3 / Exc. 3 by judge Mrs. Claudia Berchtold (A), on Sunday it was very exciting: Chap was one of Mr. Kanes favourite dogs in Champion Class but due to his bad coat condition, he „only“ was ranked  with V3 / Exc. 3 in the end!

As competition in Champion Class is hard, we are very happy with the results of this show weekend! It was a pleasure being judged by Mr. Frank Kane and I appreciated his feedback – something that I am really missing on most of the other judges…

Mr. Kanes report on Chap: „4 years, black, strong masculine dog, good ribcage, he uses his hocks very well, not in his best coat and this shows in his crop and tail, good bone, good eye colour“; Exc. 3

… just back home from CACIB Wieselburg:

Chap (CH A Sense Of Pleasure’s No Risk No Fun) was shown in *** Champion Class *** and was rated *** V1 / Exc.1, CACA*** !!!
We are very happy about this result  🙂 🙂 🙂

Congratulations to Lisa & Diego – Chaps son „Honeymoon Labs Always My Friend“ who achieved V3 / Exc. 3 in Intermediate Class today!

Also congrats to our friend Manuel Mühringer and his girl Nala for winning the youth class and the BOB in the end of the day! (fingers crossed for the main ring…)

(judge was Ingrid Grill, A).

Last weekend we travelled to České Budějovice (Czech Republic) to show our boy Chap (CH A Sense of Pleasure’s No Risk No Fun) at the local CACIB show. The show ring for Labrador Retrievers was outside but the weather was warm and sunny and so we really had a nice day. Chap was shown in Champion Class, judged by Sigrid Holzer (A). At the end of the day he was rated with Exc. 2 / V2, Res. CAC  and also achieved the Res. CACIB.  Luckily, the winner of the Champion Class is Czech Champion already, so we can take Chaps Res. CAC as a valid ticket for the Czech Champion! We are looking forward to our next show in Czech Republic 🙂

Back from a wonderful weekend in Brno, Czech Republic! Brno is a lovely place and the show was well organised!

Chap started in Working Class on both days:

On Saturday, 7.2.2015 he achieved V3 / Exc. 3 under judge Mr. Dusko Piljevic (SRB).
On Sunday, 8.2.2015 he was rated V4 / Exc. 4 judged by Mrs. Linda Volarikova (SLO).

We are very happy with the results of this weekend and we enjoyed our time in Czech Republic!

Finished the show season with the last show for this year at the double CACIB in Wels (06./07.12.2014):

Number of entries was large and the quality of the shown dogs throughout all
classes was high at this show weekend.Chap (ÖJCH ÖCH A Sense of Pleasure’s No Risk No Fun) showed himself well and with presence, we had good mood in the showring.

Judge on Saturday was John Thirlwell (GB), Chap was able to achieve EXC. 4 / V4 in Champion Class.

On Sunday Chap was rated again with EXC. 4 / V4 in Champion Class, judge was Armstrong Moray (GB).

We received lovely reports from the judges on both days, we are happy with the results!
