European Championship coursing in Oirschot

16 & July 17: European Championships coursing in Oirschot. There were 18 bitches and 14 males, 2 bitches and 4 males absent. What should have been our party has become a tragedy for the employees. Therefore, I do not want to write too much about it, the sweetest i "delete" everything. For those who want to know everything, I refer to the blog of Anne Marie Mourning (www.ballisticwhippets.web-log.nl) and Lisette van de Kerkhof (www.princevalerio.blogspot.com). My Calhoun is quite a very sensitive type, for example he hits total stroke If there is a dog or human gilt of pain. So he also felt the tremendous stress with us because of the bad organization. On Friday afternoon he walked to cry while I was trying to convince the exhibitors that they had to stay where they stood. We all had to go out because the catering wanted it, it threatened not to divide coins for the employees. Pure blackmail. Anyway, Calhoun all the way, I totally battled and so the Coursingvooruitzichten broke. Saturday morning I already noticed Calhoun, he was not wild-enthusiastic. He started out badly and walked halfway up the field just a bit back and forth to jump. Chance but I understood him so well, it only hurt because he actually finds such a very nice game but because of the stress could not. Cheytah is very different, which never pulls anything from it, and she walked great. After the first turn, she was in a shared third place. My Caintha was again "undervalued" and ended up being one of the last. One Norwegian bitch, Manticorn's Josefin loved it and the French bitch, Entre Ciel Et Terre Du Triple Bois got so few points that she was not allowed to walk a second time. For the second circulation there was some consternation about the classification of males. In the end there were a number of males with the same partner as in the morning, a pity but for the hounds it fortunately does not matter. We had decided that Sonja Calhoun would start, maybe he would walk easier. And sure enough, he started something better and also walked with more enthusiasm. Before Cheytah was able to start, it took a hare break and because a new hare had to go, all for too long. You saw the enthusiasm in her decline. Sin, she ran clearly less than she can. Manticorn's Julia, a sister of the Norwegian female, who gave the chucked in the morning, got a disqualification in the afternoon (and you'll come all the way from Norway!) likewise her partner Celina or Albainn of Gerd assures. The last bitch courses I have not seen, Caintha had already walked and was through and through wet, stood to shiver and just wanted to go away, to the caravan. I was also more than sitting in the rain, so when Cheytah walked, we quickly went to the caravan, the hounds dried well and then a drink was taken. The award ceremony was only in the evening after Tienen in the dark, in the pouring rain. At the Chart Polski's the wrong national anthem was played and the Deerhound males turned the national anthem without the winner. This was for some of us the drop that caused the bucket to flow, an organization that doesn't even know how a prize-giving ceremony is supposed to expire. What a blamage!! In the males, Cunamara's Miles of Eva Petzold from Germany was European champion coursing 2011 with the CACIL and Calhoun still finished in sixth place with the CACNL. In the Bitches Queen Qumolly Qwinta of Dirty Mind of Eva Vobornikova from the Czech Republic took the title and the CACIL + CACNL and Cheytah became still fifth. The difference between Queen Qumolly and Cheytah was only 5 points!
