On to the next show. In Glogow, three representatives from our kennel were present. In starting order, TRANQUILA ROCA EN LA LLUVIA (Tavishi) from our last litter was entered in the Youth Class. She was rated Excellent and placed second out of four in her class. Although she was barely 9 months old, she presented herself well. In Open Class GRAN ROSA AMIGA (Lila) was rated Excellent, first place with CWC. And finally in the Working Class K-LEE VORNJA (Kali) also placed first in class, rated Excellent and received CWC and CACIB, as well as the title Best Female and Best Working Dog.
In the finals, a Czechoslovakian Wolfdog – Kali – took 3rd place BIS – Working Dogs! We are very proud!
A wolfdog from our kennel ran in the half marathon in beautiful North Wales. He was the only Czechoslovakian Wolfdog starting in the running competition, and as it befits wolfdogs, he achieved a high position. There were 229 participants starting, some other runners also with dogs. GRAN FUEGO MARRON Atropa Bella Donna in overall classification placed 49th, and among the man and dog teams, 1st place!
Emylyn & Marron – congratulations!!!
In the middle of January, Kali become a grandmother! 4 females and a male were born at the German kennel vom Dreiburgenblick. Their mother is Aslan from our first litter X-TROVERTIDA FUERTA Atropa Bella Donna (Aslan), the father is IGOR Zlata Palz. We are very happy and wish the little wolfdogs the greatest keepers and much health!

Late September we drove across Poland to another adventure. Wolfdog Adventure Racing is a competition which includes orienteering with a dog and some special tasks, including a rope bridge, Tirol line, driving down the rocks on the rope, and climbing. Our impressions of the event were amazing, challenging our fears, great fun for dogs. We look forward to more such events in such good company. A few shots from the tour below:
