This year I was honoured and pleased to judge the special show for CSW at Hoenderloo, the Netherlands. The presence of 38 dogs is in my opinion a great amount for such a small country. The ring was perfect and big enough for the dogs to show their movement. The organization was excellent prepared! Special thanks to Annemieke Keuning for writing the jury reports, to Lies van Essen for leading of the ring and to Corrie Keizer, for the interpretation, translation and help during the demonstration of our Czech bonitacion!

And now the dogs. I saw and judged many interesting and beautiful dogs and  was pleased about the quality of the dogs shown. Although it isn’t right to generalize, but most of them met all the requirements in type, format, movement and character. The weaker points I found in some of the dogs were their expression or in the shape of their heads. This is something for Dutch breeders to take notice of.

For some dogs it  was their first time on a  dog show and they had a little bit problems to show their teeth and to present themselves well. Next time the owners and these dogs will have learned to do this better.

I am a breeder and big fan of the Czechoslovakian Wolfdogs myself and can be very pleased when I see people who share my passion. Even if we do have differences in opinion about certain aspects, it is good to broaden ones horizon. In the Netherlands I have met some very nice people. For me it was a nice weekend in an interesting and beautiful small country amongst very kind breeders and fans of Czechoslovakian Wolfdogs!

Thanks !!!
