There's No Business Like Show Business...
We registered both Dasha and Rurik for what was touted as the largest Sighthound Festival in Germany! Donaueschingen was being "invaded" by Taigans! Sadly only Rurik could attend because Dasha went into HEAT! Uuugh!
No matter, we went. We saw. We conqured! Well Rurik did. Sort of! On Saturday, we waited till it was time to show our little man. He did very well winning in the Intermediate Class! Though he did not win BOB that day or any of the other Taigan prizes, he did score very highly V1!

Rurik was very restless Saturday, shied from the judge and even snapped at some other dogs. Yipes! So on Sunday we decided to take him mini-coursing first thing in the morning. There was a field set up apart from the show ring so we registered Rurik to run with his littermate Aysuluu. The two did very nicely. What do you think?
Sufficiently tuckered out from their romp on the coursing field, the two rested for the afternoon show. Though Rurik won first place again for Intermediate Class (as he was shown uncontested) he also won reserve CAC and once again scored V1! He was not shy with this judge at all, though I was a nervous wreck, and the judge noted that Rurik had a nice temperament. Rurik? Really? I'll take it!
