Memoriál Jindry Pecháčka 2012

The time has come to make some funny action on a dogfrisbee competition again. As an ideal opportunity, Jindra Pecháček Memorial 2012 in Dobříš has been chosen. Accompanied with CACIT, event has offered friendly atmosphere, perfect artificial grass field and a possibility to watch other dog sports meanwhile.

Our first-run trial in dogdartbee was kind of surprising. Rufus helped to adjust foresight ("only" 40 points) which helped Barnabáš to catch 210 points and get into semifinals. Performance there was not as decisive as the first one, thrower's lack of concentration enabled only 100 points. Result, divided 7-8th makes us happy, especially because of it being our first dogdartbee and second official competition in overall.

  • Barnabáš: 210 + 100 points, overally 7-8th out of 41
  • Rufus: 40 points, 34th out of 41

Minidistance was no big surprise for us and it still shows necessity of throwing technique improvement and further research =) on how to land more smoothly and play the whole thing better. Funny fact was both Barnabáš and Rufus getting exactly the same result in the first round, i.e. 11.5 points, moving them dangerously close to each other in the second round =).

  • Barnabáš: 11.5 + 11 = 22.5 points, 28th place out of 41
  • Rufus:  11.5 + 9.5 = 21 points, 31-32nd place
We are looking forward to future competitions and feel motivated to train ;). Photos are being chosen now, meanwhile you can have a look into the following galleries.

Rufus DNA CEA and MDR tests

Good news, everyone! Slovgen laboratory has sent us results of DNA CEA and MDR tests of Rufus' blood. Both are such that Ruf is heterozygote, i.e.
MDR +/- (carrier),
CEA R/r (carrier).
MDR result is official, CEA test is only orientational.
Smile ;).

Trip with Hanka and Rakša

Among other holiday activities we've gone for a fine trip with Hanka and her Czechoslovak wolfdog Rakša. The dogs jogged aroung the whole Prokopské údolí and meanwhile Hanka has taken some beautiful shots. Thanks ;).


For more photos, see Hanka's Picassa gallery.

Well, we could have been watching the camera but why would we do so? =) 
After explainingto the wolf-like friend, what to do with the ball. Fun begins =).
View is surely nice but a teething game is a better thing to do.

Three fellows, three tongues out =).

Rufus dysplasia examination

On 22.06.2012 Rufus has had his elbows and hips examined for dysplasia by MVDr. Lukáš Duchek. The results are great, both elbows and hips are clear, i.e. HD A/A and ED 0/0. After the narcosis necessary for the RTG, Rufus was tired a bit but an afternoon nap has remedied this ;).
