Every two years at Easter it is time to move to Szilvásvárad for some days, one of the most beautiful places in Hungary. It is famous for its Lipizzaner stud farm as well.

Also one of my favourite showgrounds and shows in general, always perfectly organized and beautifully decorated. It was always the weather gods that wouldn't cooperate: 2001 we had hail stones falling from the sky, 2003 was very very warm, 2005 flooded away in heavy rains and 2007 quite normal compared to the previous years :-) and 2009 was perfect, except for a thunder-shower on Monday - when the champion bitches were in the ring.

Our place to stay at was the same house as it had been in 2007, a nice house with pretty rooms and garden and last but not least, at the end of the village with only a few meters from the fields and pheasants :-)

This year there were three shows in a row - and Danka became more and more beautiful day-by-day :-)

Saturday: the Setter Clubshow with Mr. Colin Mackay (UK) judging the Irish. Such a nice and charming man and above this, he gave Danka one of her most beautiful critiques ever. Danka was placed 3rd in the class.

 

On Sunday an international show: Ludovica Salamon (I) awarded Danka res.CAC and also res.CACIB! This came totally unexpected to me as the competition was hard.

 

 

And on Monday a show for hunting breeds only. Ole Staunskjaer (DK) thought highly of Danka (but put all her "faults" on the paper) and gave her the title best bitch.
