VDH DM 2022 in Coswig is over and it so damn hot...
But Alex and Kritzi finally made it: 87 / 91 / 79 Points and the 30th place of 56 dogs!
In Phase A Tracking Kritzi missed the first Article, which was very expensive. In Phase B Obidience she could show her potential, we are very satisfied an in Phase C she was lacking of manner...we have to work more on her obidience skills in this discipline! All grips very tight, strong and full, but this ears have been out of order....
Finally, on November 6th, we completed our final
examination for the year 2021. Our goal was to qualify for the DM /
ISPU WM 2022 and we did it! Alex again achieved a solid performance
with Kritzi with a total of 98/94/97. 289 points. I was annoyed with
myself because I lost the leash in the track after the 2nd item and
thought that the competition was over ... well until the stupid me
had grabbed the leash again, Djoey (who had a V-track until then)
already searched until the last corner and then also referred the
last item ... Thanks my little monster, you saved the 81 points!
In the obedience
she was totally over-the-top, loud and needed a double command for
the standing exercise. The filing was also restless this time - so 85
points.
In the
`Schutzdienst´, she then went crazy; obedience suffered a bit too -
but she was completely in her element: 92 points!
From October 28th to October 31st, 2021 the 29th
ISPU WM IGP3 took place in Germany - Werlaburgdorf. After Alex had
drawn without luck (1st
team) on Wednesday, things didn't really go as planned from the
beginning on ... At first Kritzi was already mentally at the
`Schutzdienst´ in the obedience and immediately sprinted to bark at
the first blind and then realized that it was probably not that far
after all. The obedience itself was otherwise really great. In the
`Schutzdienst´ she could no longer be stopped ... full of vigor, she
forgot her obedience and then did not want to leave the helper during
the back transport - disq. In the end, we didn't have to hit the road
for a long time to get to Werlaburgdorf, but of course it was
annoying given the months of training. But our sports partners are
animals. With good and bad days - just like us. But we know what we
have in them and what they are able to achieve! We are a team after
all.
On September 25th, 2021 Alex and I (Sandra)
participated very successfully in the DVG national competition with
Kritzi and Djoey. Of course, Alex hit the bull`s eye again and took
first place, qualifying for the DVG Bundessiegerprüfung in April
2022. I competed in the first IGP3 with Djoey and despite, or perhaps
because of it, even ended up on 5th place. Sometimes it's not that
bad to be a little crazy ...
AND we can then eventually take part in the DVG
Bundessiegerprüfung. Djoey just likes to imitate her mother ...
Kritzi has brought home the title of national champion with 97/90/87
a total of 270 points, Djoey with 93/90/87 a total of 270 points is
great in the game.
From September 3rd to 5th, 2021 the PSK DM took
place again. With 27 participants, of which 9 failed, Kritzi was able
to secure 5th place again as the best female dog. If she would have
left out in the protection service and coped with the obedient parts
better, there would easily have been a place on the podium ... but
well... Nevertheless we are very proud and happy to got a total of
268 points with 95/96/77 TSB "a". Videos on obedience and
protection can be found on our YouTube channel or on working dog !
Lakritze von Elberfeld is now his first female schnauzer and is
absolutely convincing! Willingness to work like a Malinoir ... Only
just out of flaky age and she became PSK national champion with
unbelievable ease, qualified for the PSK DM 2019 and - despite the
scorching heat - took 5th place as the best female dog. We are
curious where the journey will go ...
With D´Zidane vom Hatzbachtal his favorite sports companion to date, died in
August 2019. Zidane became national champion (2014) and vice national
champion (2013) of the PSK national championships, took part in the
ISPU World Championships three times (2011 7th place / 2012 7th place
and best subordination & 2014 18th place), three times at the VDH
DM (2012 23rd place, 2013 22nd place & 2014 28th place) and two
more times at the PSK DM (2013 10th place & 2014 4th place).
Participating in many large and international events in just a few
years and qualifying for the coming year is not possible with every
dog. We still miss D'Zidane ...
His second giant schnauzer Xabo vom Hatzbachtal followed. With him, Alex became DVG regional
vice-champion in 2006. He competed twice at the PSK DM (2005: 22nd
place & 2007: 7th place) and gained experience at various other
national events.
With Apollo vom Pötzchen, his first own giant schnauzer, Alex already took
part in the German Giant Schnauzer Championships in 1999 and 2000
(PSK DM). At the ISPU World Championships in Gärtringen in October
2000, he was able to achieve a solid 12th place on his very first
international competition.
