About
Drim... |
|
It's Drim's fault, that it
all started. He was bred in Slovenia, sired by Natan from Scottish
Hemp vom Beutenhof - Roy, a World Junior Winner 1995, his dam
is Fionamcgill from Italy, bred from working lines. We got him
at the age of just over 2 months. Our inexperience and his tough
character caused a lot of problems and trouble. We sought help
with the "pros" and thus found into the "wonderfull
world of cinology" |

OBEDIENCE TRAINING |
| |
I visited a puppy class in
KD Naklo with Drim in the fall of 2002.
In the spring of 2003 I decided to go on with obedience and went
to KD Krim in Ljubljana, because i thought their way of work was
more suitable to us. In june we successfully, with 93%, passed
the ISP-B obedience exam. Drim earned his "Polite dog"
badge, issued by KD Krim.
At the time of basic obedience classes we tried out some other
K-9 disciplines (agility, rally-obedience,...) and some of them
cought our attention. |

AGILITY |
| |
We started agility pretty soon. Drim showed
a lot of talent for the sport and I soon had problems telling
him, that his way of running the course was a bit different
from the actual course layout ;-).
Than came the fall of 2003 and our first agility trial and with
it our first disqualification, that was followed by another
one, etc. But we managed to finish a course eventually, winning
a trial for the first time happened in Bratislava at the annual
"Christmas" tournament (dec. 11.-12.2003). By the
summer of 2004 we got all tickets to move up to A2. We
needed almost two years to move up into class 3 - our first
start was in march 2006. Drim was one
of the fastest dogs in Slovene trials, but made a lot of mistakes
(dropping jumps was his speciality), we thus often finished at
the end of the list or didn't finish at all.
Among the serious agility trials we found time to compete in
some unofficial competitions, where Drim ran with Tomaž in the
"amateour" class, but they still wait for a good result
:-).
We took part in a few agility presentations across Slovenia,
too. We were in Ljubljana at the trade and fair ground, we made
a special first day of school for the children in Velike Lašče,...
Unfortunatelly, at the age of five and
a half years I had to retire Drim from active agility in february
2008 due to his health problems. In the future, I hope, we will
still be able to practice agility, allthough irregular and not
to demanding, since Drim is, among all of us, the most "in
love" with the sport.

HERDING |
| |
Drim was tried on sheep on
a couple of occasions, but due to irregular training we have no
plans for him in herding, thus Tomaž and I decided for Drim to
be an "agility only" dog. |
| |
MISC |
| |
We entered Drim in three shows
in his first year, but soon found out, that this isn't the "sport"
for us.
In my free time I tought Drim a lot of tricks, which, if properly
motivated, he shows every now and then. |
| |
FOR THE END... |
| |
Because of and with Drim we
travelled all over Slovenia and over a lot of Europe and met a
lot of people. We hope to have a lot of interresting and succesfull
years to come. |
