DAY 1 - Clubshow of the Hungarian Setter Club:

Breed judge: Ludovica Salamon - Ludstar (I)

Ozzy in Open Class got Exc. 1, CAC and Club Winner '09 while Remi stepped in his first veteran class, got the ticket and nothing could stop him to take over the main ring and win BEST VETERAN IN SHOW from Colin Mackay, GB. Thank you to both judges for thinking so highly of them.

DAY 2 - CACIB SZILVÁSVÁRAD (All-breeds International), Crufts qualifying show:

Judge: Mr Colin Mackay (GB)

Ozzy again in Open class, got the CAC and CACIB this qualified for Crufts '10 - hope he will grow some coat by then :-)  Remi got the CAC title again in Veteran class but wasn't in a showing-off mood so was unplaced in the mainring.

DAY 3 - HUNTING BREEDS SPECIAL:

Judge: Mr Ole Staunskjaer (DK)    Group judge: Mr Sándor Szabó (H)

This was a rather difficult show the judge being unusually strict - unusual for the Hungarian circuit for sure. Quite a few dogs got 'good' or 'very good' titles in the breeds judged by Mr Staunskjaer. I was delighted to get Excellent with both boys along with the CAC and later Ozzy going Best Of Breed! With his 3rd Veteran CAC ticket Remi is a Veteran Ch. now - this is pending KC confirmation. In a crowded and strong group 7 Ozzy was shortlisted to the final 5 though didn't make it to the first three - I was thrilled. He was moving very nicely but didn't really want to stand so last couple of minutes was rather a battle with him.

Remi also did well and got 3rd Veteran in Show today, judged by Mr Robert Kanás from Slovakia. Again - thank you to the judges! Also, thanks to some devoted photographers we have a massive amount of photos that needs to be selected; once it's done there will be a 'photo report' to sum up the three days.
