A lovely relaxing weekend in Wismar.

IMG_1878 Since Simon was invited to come to the coursing judging during the weekend of April 26/27, we decided to leave on Thursday morning towards Hermannsburg to spend the night and have a pleasant evening with Sonja and Karl-Heinz. At the end of the afternoon we arrived and after a round of forest with the hounds we enjoyed a glass of sect and then a good meal. IMG_1880The hounds were again very happy to see each other. Friday morning we drove to Wismar at our convenience. It was blissful weather and after setting up our camp we walked in the "Bürgerpark". Brandir and Bernice found the Red deer, who are unfortunately behind a high fence, very exciting. The other hounds know the deer but when they go walking they are always interesting again. IMG_1895The coursing was this year on Saturday. In Total, there were 86 hounds reported, including our Bernice and Brandir, they were the only two Deerhounds. In the morning they walked a good trail. At the start they looked at each other and then enthusiastically went behind the hare. It was an acceptable trail but not really suitable for Barzoi's and Deerhounds, too many sharp twists in succession. In the afternoon, Bernice didn't make that much sense and I had to help her. Still suffer from sham pregnancy? Anyway, Brandir walked the whole trail but was happy when he saw that his little sister was still helping him. After this course, we decided that Bernice would not start at the EKC. Very sorry but somehow these two hounds are still too young and partly because of their panostitisgeschiedenis they just need a lot of time. Hopefully they will be able to join the EKC in Finland next year. At the end of the afternoon was the award ceremony and it was named Bernice as the winner. This wIMG_1917 Copyas not right, of course, a hound that you have to push can never win! When we later got the licences it was also shown that Brandir was the "big" winner, unfortunately without CACC, just one point too little. Sunday we had thIMG_1931e show. Also here Brandir and Bernice were the only Deerhounds. Mrs. Piesik did the inspection and miraculously she made Bernice BOB. During the final inspection, Brandir received his first "Schönheit und Leistung" title. After the show we still had enough time to go to the beach with the hounds. We left us to refer to a dog beach and after a big 15 minutes drive we arrived on the spot. The first piece was sand but soon it was about in many stones and little sand. We held our hearts, but both Brandir and Bernice and Calhoun did not attract themselves and denderden full of fun over the stony beach. IMG_1932 IMG_1940                 IMG_1957 Since Brandir had seen fish swimming in the ponds of the burger Park, he initially barely dared the water. Wet toes did not go any further. So Sonja pulled out the naughty shoes and entered the water. Mad fun!! IMG_1977     IMG_1973                  

Especially Calhoun enjoyed it to the fullest and found it wonderful to chase behind Brandir and Bernice.

IMG_1991 Caintha also enjoyed herself, although she is doing it a bit quieter with her thick eleven years. IMG_1998 IMG_1979
