SZÁZHALOMBATTA Veteran Show - 17.08.2008

I know, I know, last year in August I promised not to show Odin anymore. But what can you do if it is a special show for oldies only, the show is only about 40 km away and the entry for free for dogs above 11 years? :-) 
I went with my Pointer and Great Dane friend and took all our oldies out for this event. It was amazing and heart touching to see so many veterans at one place. Some still in very good condition, some showed their age already but hey, it was a show for veterans only and nobody was pointing fingers at a not-that-good movement :-) The oldest dog entered was a lajka, with the unbelievable age of almost 17 years (when writing this text for the homepage, she is not with us anylonger, some days before her birthday she went to doggie heaven)!

Three Irish Setters were entered, 2 bitches and 1 dog. The dog was Odin's halvbrother Berboss King's Peech, almost 11 years.

The other bitch was 9,5 and then my Odin-girl who soon turns 12 years. Odin enjoyed her day out and ran herself to Best of Breed :-) In the group they only placed one dog and it went to the Hungarian vizsla.
 

Thanks a lot for the photos to Emese Boros, breeder of Odin who was there to our greatest joy and to my friend Csilla.
