We spent the last weekend of April with another 53 Wheatens and their owners in
Wheaten Days 2005. It was the first meeting filled by events. International dog show
in Prague was unofficial beginning. Wheatens entry was very high - 24.
Walk through old Prague
and park Petřín.

Around 50 Wheatens and their owners met by National Theatre after the dog show. We started
walk through old Prague. We attracted attention of tourists, our dogs behaved perfectly.
We walked across Charles Bridge to Prague Castle and back through park Petřín. Old dog breed
made nice combination with beautiful antient Prague.
We filled Saturday´s evening by talks about Wheatens, trimming demonstration and refreshments
in Irish spirit. Finn
(Geijes Tristan Trueman)
made dog model for trimming. He was left untrimmed for seven months. His change from shaggy sheep
to elegant dog was dramatic.
Sport Sunday was full of fun for dogs and their owners. 46 dogs - sportsmen came accomapanied by
4 non sportnig dogs and around 80 owners and members of families. We had lot of fun on agility watching
owners and their Wheatens. Some dogs did not find out the trick with ball in flyball. Lot of dogs
enjoyed coursing races. Seems to me, dogs eather like it from the first moment or are not interested
at all. Unfortunately my Karla and Finn belong to the second group. What could we do?
We are successful, what do you think?
Important is we had fun!

Karla´s puppies were running with pleasure. We trained all sports in the morning with experienced trainers.
The races for fun started after the lunch. Dogs were divided into groups to make races more fair.

We became nicely tired after the first Wheaten Days, our dogs as well. We all enjoyed it very much and
