Flatastic premiere at Danish Flatcoated Retriever Club Event

Past weekend we were participating in the Danish flatcoated retriever club event in Nordsjælland not far from Copenhagen. Saturday was Markprøve B and our dynamic duo were signed up for Brugsprøve. The Brugsprøve is an accesgiving obedience and retrieving test one needs to obtain in order to enter working tests and field trials. It was held in a forest and the strong wild life smells there was a bit challenging for our “twins”. The judge made it clear that we need to practice obedience in these surroundings. I was thinking how to explain how difficult it is in the Netherlands to have access to these kind of grounds. But the feedback was right on spot. We did pass though. Happy me.

Next day it was showtime. To me it was a bit special as it was held in my hometown where I was born and raised. Judge was Susanne Tillge and all of our dogs obtained excellent qualifications. Kaspar used all of his charm and won 1st price in Junior male class. He even obtained a junior certificate as the judge saw potential for him to become junior champion. The greatest thing though was that he loved all of it and won a yellow dummy. a pretty beer glass and chocolates.
