SEVENTH FAMILY DAY
Sunday, September 4, 2011
at the terrain of the Kynologischen Verein Fricktal

(Fotos Roland Kleiner)
 

The numeral 7 seems to be the lucky number for the Continental Bulldog Club Schweiz,
because also the 7th Family Day was a complete success - as again
somewhere around 80 persons and 40 Contis were present.
And St. Peter too kept the rain drains off at least until the close
of the official part towards 14h00 .

Welcome Adress by the President

I will help you if you don't
remember how to continue, Pickwick Alysha
 seems to tell her master

Also the dogs listen attentively to the president's words

 

and meanwhile also take in the course prepared for them

 

The leader had to indicate the weight of his dog.
Thereafter the dog was weighed and for each 100 g of difference 2 points were deducted from the total.

No, it can't be that I weigh so much!!!!
 

The dog was attached on a short string to the trouser leg of the leader with a clothes-peg and the Team had to do a Slalom of 7 plastic bottles. The string had to stay fixed. On the bottles there were pictures of seven dog breeds. At the end of the Slalom the leader was asked to indicate the breeds without having been informed of that task beforehand.

To make it more difficult "busicuits" were deposited on the bottles,
which the dogs were not allowed to eat.

well done, Clowy!

also the almost 10 years old Pickwick Lily Chic joined in

This was to test the skill of the leader as he had to throw a ball into the tins that were positioned very close together and were marked with numbers 1 to 10. The tin that was hit gave the number of points won.

the dog had to sit still. The leader put Hula Hoop-Rings one after the other over the dog. When all rings were used up, the could be lifted off the dog again. 30 Seconds were allowed in total and for each ring moved a point could be gained.

The dialog here: Hey, attention please! Yes, mother.

A Balloon decorated with a crown had to be carried under, over and around a total of five obstacles, while the dog had to walk along on a loose lead. For each obstacle 2 Points could be won and if the crown was brought back without having once fallen off, an additional 5 points could be obtained.

None to small to join in, quite unimpressed to little
Puppy (4 Months) surmounted the obstacles

also a Non-Conti can be part of it

you are almost an athlete,Bongo seems to say to hismaster

hei, balancing this crown is not so easy

hopefully the crown survives this jump

with flying ears...

Trostpreis

Each dog that participated had well earned a reward:
a bag of biscuits

INTERESTED PARTIES CAN OBTAIN THE DOCKET OF THEIR DOGS FROM THE SECRETARIATE.

After the distribution of the prices which took place between Lunch and Desserts prepared by
and offered again from Imelda Angehrn, leisure time was being called for
each in his own manner:      

mhm, the earring tastes real good....

while Lily-Chic takes her well-earned nap,

the "bon-vivant" stretches in the grass

We too have a lot to laugh about, haven't we!

 

HUND 2011 - at the Eulachhallen Winterthur from February 4 to 6, 2011
 

Already fro the 7th time the Continental Bulldog Club Schweiz participated in this well organised and interesting  DOG Fair with a stand and could present a number of Contis in the demonstration ring
to the numerous spectators
 

hey, how about the two of us?

Preparing for the presentation of the dogs with red collars and leashes with the Swiss cross

Imelda Angehrn gives information about the breeding program and where it now stands (s. Info under "Present")
and she introduces each dog present to the public

 the oldest dog (7-years) Ch. Pickwick Ulan

 and the youngest 3,5 months - Igor de Siganowa

                                                waiting for their task

Entry of the gladiators accompanied by music
and and completing a short Rally-Obedience course

Keep sitting Antares so I can walk around you.

here a dog (Pickwick Yankee Nox)

and here a bitch (Goya Dandie from Switzerland

    and they both look exactly alike

watching the escapades of their colleagues

Ch. Pickwick Ulan goes down on the small plastic box and with a jump fetches his
goody-bag which he brings back by jumping again on the box

Ch. Clowy vom Acheberg shows in a perfect manner how to pass an agility course

The highlight of the presentation belongs to Goya Dandie from Switzerland,
who brought back two sausages without trying to chew them

clear to start

to pick up the sausage

and bringing it back to Mummy

and bye-bye - jumping through the centre
with loud applause from the spectators
