Easter Photos 23.04.2011

We have warm days, +18C and tons of sun after long cold weeks, so I finally took the camera and made some new photos. To be honest, Gella had more interest in sniffing spring smells and gnawing various sticks than in posing for photos, so there was not much standing pics :)

Lithuanian Winner 2011 & Vilnius Cup 2011

After 1.5 years of non-showing we finally took part in two international shows here in Vilnius: "Lithuanian Winner" on Saturday March 19 (judge Marianne Holm), and "Vilnius Cup" on Sunday March 20 (judge Helina Jurgens-Simberg).

Well, it was quite a weird feeling. First - it was Gella's debut in champion class. Second - it turned to be "double debut", as it was the first time when Gella got "GOOD"......... I was a bit shocked, as she never was evaluated in this way, with such terrific result. Well, to be honest - she behaved like being showed for the first time, very nervous and tense - perhaps she completely forgot what the show ring is, and it was clearly written in her eyes: "What the hell is going on? I wanna go home right now!!!" The lesson is: if you want to show your dog, you must work on it as hard as possible - if not, when better stay home....

On Sunday Gella got "V.G." under Mrs Jurgens-Simberg, behaving just like the day before with all her nerves tense in the ring (but being very cheerful outside the ring :)))) OK, we learned this lesson and we'll try to rehabilitate ourselves at one of warm season open-air shows.

Congrats going to: female Ch Keeping The Faith Romantika, who is Gella's half-sister and who got CACIB & LTW-2011. She's great :)))
