LES MONTAGNES SERBES
OD SRPSKIH PLANINA
14th Meeting of Sarplaninci
This
time we had a beautiful sunny weather, actually too hot for our hairy friends.
I did not have to insist to have people, there were so many people registered
(50) for the buffet so that the room was getting too small to put all of us.
The arrivals were spread out until midday. There were a lot of dogs to be photographed:
32 Sarplaninci present, that our photographers worked continuously to have all
of them photographed before the meal. Certain people told me that they never
saw as many representatives of the breed at the canine exhibitions. It is absolutely
true that such a number can only be seen at certain special exhibitions of the
breed in Serbia and Czech Republic.
Like each time, some came to us from very far and I am very grateful to them:
our friends, Isabelle and Philippe, of Normandy, the Merkel family with Dragan
who came from the north of Germany, our compatriot Suzana who came with all
her family from the south of Germany and the Serfling family who made 550km
when coming from ex East Germany.
The absence of Cakan, Divna and the young Ena, Eogan and Eta which celebrated
that day, on 11th June, their first birthday was for me a disappointment. I
can understand that the owner of Cakan had difficulties to make such a long
and expensive trip, but for the others I regret to note that they did not make
any effort of socialization of their protected ones. So, I did not see them
since their departure at the age of two months and to see them, I will have
to go myself to visit them.
Several people wishing to acquire a puppy came to see this display of our breed
and to take information from the owners, beginners and already experimented,
as well as the walkers on the line 38 and the inhabitants of the district.
