Last weekend we entered three dogs at INT Nitra (2.000+ entries) and this trio sure did not let us down as they won everything again!!

Black Majesty Hollywood “Izzy” (total left on photo): BEST OF BREED both days!, BEST OF GROUP 1 for the third time in a row and res BEST OF GROUP on Sunday – with this result he is new Slovakian Champion as well!

Black Majesty Griotte “Evita” (total right on photo): BEST OF OPPOSITE SEX both days to her half-brother Izzy! With this result she opened her Grand Ch title for Slovakia.

Black Majesty Get Off Of My Cloud “Senorita” (middle on the photo): CAC on both days as well as Res. CACIB behind her half-sister Evita. She opened her Slovakian Champion and is two steps closer to her Int. Ch as Evita already is INT.

Another show and another BEST IN SHOW .. back to back! Well what should I say 😀

At the Austrian Basset and Scenthound Specialty my duo fantasticus – Evita & Izzy – did the unbelieveable and won EVERYTHING!! This win means a lot to me as they got wonderful critiques from the group specialist Mr. Karl P. Reisinger and as it was Izzy’s second BIS. Only two weeks after the first one 😀

Evita (Champion Class, bitch): Exc1, CAC, Clubwinner ’17, best bitch & BOS
Izzy (Champion Class, dog): Exc1, CAC, Clubwinner ’17, best dog, BOB & BEST IN SHOW
Together they were also chosen as best couple!

The critiques are also too beautiful not to be shared!
Izzy: “harmonious male, who shows his nobility; beautiful headproportions, good pigment, elegant neck, harmonious outline, well balanced, corr. angulations, distinct forechest, corr. coat, dynamic movement with good drive”

Evita: “harmonious, correct, very good attitude, beautiful head, good expression, harmonious outline, well angulated, very beautiful proportions, well balanced, corr. coattexture, joyful dynamic movement”

OMG!!! What did just happen?! Since I have been attending dogshows my biggest dream was to win Best In Show once… Now this dream came true today!
Let me present you our new ⭐️BEST IN SHOW winner Izzy – Black Majesty Hollywood  after he took the group both on Saturday and Sunday in Innsbruck (A) , I thought another double would be amazing enough, but little did I know he would go on to win it all!!! Innsbruck is one of the biggest shows in Austria & to win my first and Izzy’s first BIS in my homecountry is even more special 

This year we decided to go to Montenegro – which is a very beautiful country!! Again I entered my winning duo, Izzy and Evita and they did not let us down. I think I will not have to state how proud and happy I am when you see the following list of achievements:

Evita – Black Majesty Griotte 

• BEST OF GROUP – making her a Multi group winner!
• 2x Best Of Breed – the CACIB win made her being an Int Ch, both CIB & CIE
• New Montenegro Champion & Grand Champion
• New Adriatic, Balkan & Mediterranen Champion

Izzy – Black Majesty Hollywood 

• 2x Best Of Opposite Sex to his halfsis Evita
• 2x CACIB
• New Montenegro Champion & Grand Champion
• New Adriatic, Balkan & Mediterranen Champion

Oberwart Int. show was the first show I entered two Petits, namely Evita and Izzy. I was a bit nervous, because I never showed two of my own dogs in the same breed. But after all there was absolutely nothing to be nervous about, only time to prepare took a bit longer than usual.

After a long break, since Crufts 2017, Evita – JrBISS JrBIS BBIS JCh Ch Black Majesty Griotte –  was finally entered again. It felt like an eternity for me as she is my most favorite dog to show. She was entered in working class as she needs to gain 2 CACs from working class to become Austrian Champion. She did this without any troubles, also won the CACIB, best bitch & best of breed. Later in the mainring she was chosen as BEST OF GROUP 3!

Izzy – Multi Ch Int Ch Black Majesty Hollywood – again showed wonderfully as well and was chosen as best dog and best of opposite sex to his beautiful halfsis Evita. I am really proud on these two, took it all at their first show together! Can’t wait for our next time altogether in the ring!

Time to officially welcome our **NEW FAMILY MEMBER**!  

Izzy’s – Int Aust Fi Cro Ch Black Majesty Hollywood – first outing with me at CACIB Wieselburg was very successful by going BEST OF BREED under breed specialist Hana Ahrens. This was his first show with me and his first win, I could not be any prouder. Izzy showed his heart for me, especially in the group ring. I can’t wait what the future holds for him!

Showing Evita at Crufts was a dream come true for me as this was a debut for both of us! I have visited CRUFTS several times before but I never showed there except for competing in int. Juniorhandling. This year I finally had a dog that was ready for it. After a long trip there, we had one day to relax and get ready.

Early in the morning we started to Crufts. Hounds were on on Thursday and I was very excited as my girl was entered in the class with the highest entry and probably in the class with the highest quality, namely open class bitches. As always Evita was a joy to show and probably was the only one bouncing around like crazy when it was not her turn. She made me very proud by being shortlisted, especially because she was the youngest one competing in this class, not even being 2 years of age. It was an unbelievable experience for sure & I could not be happier with how this day went down! <3 Thanks Evita, you are a true beauty and together we made a lot of memories already <3

Now that the lists have been published it is finally official: EVITA IS THE NUMBER ONE PETIT in Austria for 2016! This year has been fabulous for our girl with the sweetest temper and we could not be prouder.

To summarize the year a bit, I think we should start at her first show in Brno (the biggest show in CZ) where she won the breed over champions and Crufts BOB winning dogs with only 9 months of age. But she did not stop and moved on to Junior Best in Group. From this show on Evita did not stop to amaze us anymore. She won Best Of Breed nearly everywhere. She was placed in every group she participated in Austria, she was  chosen as Junior Best of Group multiple times, one time Junior Best in Show 3 (+2000 dogs) and Junior Best in Show Specialty. Also she could win the group twice this year, still being younger than 18 months. Continue reading

Our dear Evita was only entered one day in Tulln, namely Sunday, which was the Bundessieger show. We were all very much looking forward to this show as Sunday’s judge was Iva Cernohubova (CZ), a breed specialist! Evita entered the ring as the last dog this day and showed herself beautifully – she got lovely critiques and finished off with one more Best of Breed and a new title to her name “Bundessiegerin 2016”! Of course we waited for the groups and were quite surprised with how many breeds actually stayed. It was a huge line-up in group 6, probably the biggest line up I have ever competed in at a “normal” CACIB show. The groupjudge Sigrid Jarmer (A) chose Evita as her BEST OF GROUP WINNER! It is already the second time she won the group, both times at an international all-breed show, and is not yet 1,5 years old. We are beyond proud!!

Our sweet Miss Evita just never stops to amaze us 🙂 not yet 16 months of age, she rocked the show in Innsbruck (2x INT) again! She took the breed in a high entry for Petits from Junior class over Champions, is again Jugend-Alpensieger and was BEST OF GROUP 3 BOTH days! As if this would not be enough, she was chosen as the only dog from FCI6 on Saturday to compete in JrBIS finals under Cristian Stefanescu (RO) and on Sunday she was JUNIOR BEST IN SHOW 3 under Paul Stanton (S)!! We are very proud!
