Swiss Sighthound Сlub Winner Beauty & Performance weekend

18.05.2024 we took part in Swiss Sighthound speciality Pfingst - Winner Show dedicated to 100-anniversary of sighthound sport in Switzerland, Aarau. There were 26 borzois entered, but in strong competition our team got excellent results:
Rua Soleil Zhar-ptitsa ( Pava) - exc1/10 open class, CAC, Best female, BOS.
Azartnaya Okhota Demetra - exc1/3 champion class, CAC
Lunnaja Raduga Russkiy Romance -exc.1/1 in working class, CAC.
Many thanks to the judge Jaroslaw Grunt ( PL) for high estimate of our borzoi team!
Next day there was international coursing CACIL. All 3 our participants successfully finished the parcour. Raskat made a mistake during the first run, but demonstrated impecable performance during the second run and was placed 7th with RCACL out of 13 males from 5 countries participated in the even. He got overall the second place at Beauty and Performance weekend based on a combined score for the show result and CACIL coursing points.
Pava was 9-th out of 18 females in coursing, though I still do not see the reason why one of the judges gave her significantly lower points comparing to other two for the first run; she made no mistakes. Due to this fact her result was not as high as we hoped, but we were very pleased with her performance in both runs. Overall 5-th place among all the females in Beauty & Performance contest.
It was the first start for Demetra in international competitions and the second coursing in her career. She finished the 14-th. Demetra does not make enough effort in a field and sees it as a walk in a park. We are confident that her performance would be very different chasing the hare , but still hope that she will discover joy and fun in coursing as well.
Very pleasing experience at a very well organized event. Thanks to the Swiss Sighthound Club, all the judges and participants!
