The summary of 2019
Our last year was very busy, this is the reason why we did not share any news for a several months in our website. Our dogs achieved very nice results in 2019, we summarize the most important results and events below:
Dotti
Our lovely veteran, Dotti, celebrated her 9th birthday in May 2019, she is in perfect health condition, she is energic and still she is the "favourite" of our postman. :) In 2018 Dotti won Veteran Club Winner title on the 40th club show of the Austrian Leonberger Club (where 130 leonbergers were presented), and I had the feeling that she was on the top of her show career and she could not surpass it, but in 2019 she did. On 1st of May we travelled to Leonberg, where we participated on the specialty show of the German Leonberger Club, and Dotti won second place and got Res. CAC title from judge Bernard Métraux (CH) among 8 wonderful leonberger ladies in a very strong veteran class. On 18th of May we travelled to Anthering, to the club show of the Austrian Leonberger Club, where Dotti repeated her last year's success and after 2018 she won Veteran Club Winner title even in 2019 at judge Evelyne Pambou-Makaya (F)! We headed to Tulln on 14th June because last year Austria organized the European Dog Show where leonbergers were judged by the former president of the German Leonberger Club, Willi Güllix (D). Dotti won veteran class in Tulln and she won Veteran European Winner title, and after that she was compared to the male Veteran European Winner and Dotti was chosen as the Best Veteran of the European Dog Show which is a fantastic recognition. In October we participated on the club show of the Hungarian Leonberger Club, where the veteran class consisted of five veteran female, and judge Francesca Mavilla (I) awarded Dotti with the title of Veteran Club Winner. Dotti gained even a new championship last year: after her Austrian Veteran Champion title she fulfilled the conditions of the Hungarian Veteran Champion title. If I could ask anything for 2020, I wish that Dotti would remain energic, happy and healthy!
Mythos
Mythos participated only on three dog shows last year but he achieved wonderful results. We are the most proud of him because he was chosen among the TOP 4 males in champion class on the 1st of May in Leonberger, and to top it all on the second place, he got Res. CAC title from judge Thomas Walker (A). It was the first time that we travelled to Leonberger, and we are very proud that both our dogs were chosed among the TOP 4 in their classes, and to top it all both mother and his son on the second place! Mythos had another great result in 2019: he fulfilled the requirements of Interchampion title in spring, and before Christmas we received his Interchampion certificate from Belgium, so officially he is the first Lions from Fairy Tale leonberger who has the C.I.B. prefix before his name. We are very proud of him!
Alice
Alice participated only at one dog show last year, but she won Best of Breed title, and fulfilled the conditions of the Serbian Champion title and with this result she got her first championship!
Fanta
Even the youngest member of our kennel, Fanta, closed 2019 successfully: she participated on five dog shows in minor puppy class and she won first place in all five times, moreover, one if her wins happenned on the specialty club of the Hungarian Leonberger Club where are a lot of minor puppies and puppies every year. Thanks to her results Fanta got her first championship: she is Hungarian Minor Puppy Winner. :) Additionally, Fanta and Franko (Amor's owner, and Amor is Fanta's daddy) participated at Dog and child competition on the specialty show of the Hungarian Leonberger Club, and they won first place together!
