Ala D'Oro in Poland
Once
before we where in Poland with our dogs. It was then to visit
the European Championship in Poznan. Now
six years later we went to Poland, not to visit a show but to
train with our dogs in the Poland fields. And not to Poznan but
a small town near the border of Ukraine. Kim from Denmark , would
accompany Jaap at this trip. They decided to travel in two day's,
this because the amounts of kilometers they had to drive was to
much for one day. The men would meet up in a hotel hundred kilometer
past Berlin. From there Kim would travel together with Jaap, they
still needed a whole day to reach the small town near the border
of Ukraine. In the small town they had met a processional Italian
trainer. The dogs would get there opportunity to find birds in
Poland fields. In
Poland, October, the Italian championship field trail are held,
reasons
for the prof's to get over there and train there dogs in these
fields. Poland is a great country for pointing dogs, enough birds,
only you have to know people who will help you to get access to
fields. Lucky we had the opportunity to arrange something before
we went up there. It was good to see that what we use as training
is the same as what the prof's are doing, and that the behavior
of the dogs are similar in the field. It was a good trip and by
the look of it now we will go back in the future. This is what
the Poland people expect us to do. Kim and Jaap where satisfy
by the work of the dogs and had a great few day's.
