We really haven't stopped enjoying Poland yet :-). This time Hugo (Néreus Hare and Hounds) and his friend Jerry (Jeremi z Kuncicek) together with their owners went to Szydlowiec to the International Dog Show.
It was a long journey, but well worth it.

Hugo not only gained Exc 1 and CAC in the intermediate class, but even an adult CACIBand in the final he outdid himself and won his first BOB!
Jerry competed in the junior class and he also successfully won both Exc 1, CAJC and J-CACIB, and BOJ and both made it to the finals.

To our great surprise Hugo decided to cooperate a bit this time (probably he wanted to pull a Jerry :-)) and managed to make a "reparation" for his last performance in the finals in Stankov. He took away BIG2 from FCI Group VI and therefore another trophy for his collection.

Jerry and Petra managed to get the last title for International Junior Champion - congratulations!
Hugo and Pavla added second CAC for Polish adult champion and also third CACIB for International Champion.
And because we hoped that Jerry would fight, we had trophies for both boys for winning the International Junior Champion (C.I.B. - Junior). As fate would have it, both of them finished it at the International in Poland (although the original plan was for Hungary, but the show was cancelled).

Everything was judged with a smile and great erudition by judge Lenka Frnčová, whom we are always very happy to see.

And besides the show, Pavla and Petra also enjoyed the wellness in the hotel and the overall "ladies' trip".

PS: Freddy stayed at home with his owner to watch him 🙂 ... and also to keep him and his cousin "out of each other's hair" in the same class.

On Saturday 10.5.2025 we left Monaco in the early evening for a long journey to Switzerland. This evening-night crossing through the tunnels over the Alps was really demanding and we arrived at our accommodation at 1:30 in the morning. Anyway, in the morning at 8 o'clock we were "on the mark" in the dog sports area in Menziken, where the club show of Swiss BC was held. So we started our spring series of participation in club shows of Beagle clubs in different countries.

Again only Hugo started in the intermediate class and in the competition of four dogs he took the victory in this class. We really didn't expect that, he also got the CAC title and another, already sixth, adult championship is on the world, this time in Switzerland. In the competition for the best dog we came across a well-known French male Un Dumbo O Grandes Oreilles De La Meute D´astérion, who won the whole show. With a total of more than 40 beagles, this club show is one of the biggest, moreover it was judged by judge Toke Larsen from Denmark, who is also a beagle breeder, so we appreciate the victory in the class in the competition.

We left for home on Monday and we couldn't miss Nuremberg on the way, even though it was a bit of a detour. But Nuremberg sausages are simply a must!

Results:

Hugo (Néreus Hare and Hounds)
intermediate - Exc.1, CAC

Judge: Toke Larsen (DK)

For several months we have toyed with the idea of going to the only international show that takes place in the exclusive setting of Monte Carlo in Monaco. It was alternately rejected and revived until finally we went for it :-). We made the first closing date for entries, which turned out to be a good strategy as the capacity of the show was filled before the second closing date.

Only Hugo started in Monaco and won his next CAC (CACM in original) in intermediate class (which is valuable in that only one is awarded in the sex of the breed). Finally we added Res. CACIB, but it was really only a close second to the winner from the champion class. And we also got our first judgement in Italian :-). By winning CACM Hugo ran another adult champion and probably we will be back next year.

We have a lot of experiences from this trip and show, interestingly, during this show it is obligatory to stay at the show until the afternoon, in the specific time between the morning judging and the afternoon final competitions it is possible to "go out with the dog" only on bail. The environment is quite demanding for dogs especially because of the space for walking, but then again who can say that he "marked" a few lawns and bushes in the Rosarium of Princess Grace.

Results:

Hugo (Néreus Hare and Hounds)
intermediate - Exc.1, CACM (i.e. CAC), res. CACIB

Judge: Petru Muntean (RO)
