WHEATEN DAYS 2005
April 30th - May 1st

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. Wheatens belonging to Wheaten Darlings were not lost in the end. We won:

COURSING PUPPIES 2. place - Ruffy (Cedrik Ruffy Wheaten Darling) and
4. place - Maruška (Cameron Wheaten Darling)

AGILITY BEGINNERS 1. place Karla (Bailehannah Karla Wheaten Darling) and
3. place - Queena (Antoanette Queen Wheaten Darling) .

In AGILITY ADVANCED just one dog was awarded. I am very proud it was Finn.

Two special prices were also awarded. Maruška was awarded by PRICE OF SYMPATHY and Ruffy by PRICE OF CONSOLATION.

You can see complete results on result list .

We became nicely tired after the first Wheaten Days, our dogs as well. We all enjoyed it very much and spent weekend in active leisure time having fun with dogs.
