Only a few days before starting, we decided to share this event. Never before the preparations for a showtour was such extensive like this time. The course of preparation starts nearly one week before starting to Bulgaria. This illustrates again, that joining such Events is real hard work and does not compare to sharing a single show in the neighborhood. Even if we made good preparation, at the end, there had been still some uncertainties. Especially for the travelroute, we kept some alternatives in our GPS.

Then we took to the road and we drove southwards through the European Union.It's everytime a graet feeling, that you can drive without any border control through this great European Union. That's a wonderful feeling of freedom. When we crossed the Hungarian/Rumanian- Border this impression changed abrupt. Extrem poverty directly beside untold wealth and wilful waste was hard to understand.

800 kilometers and 17 hours later, after driving and crossing mostly dirt roads, we reached the bulgarian border.

The area for the exibition was in a big meadow in the holiday resort Albena, directly at the bulgarian Black Sea coast.

It was planned, that the first of three shows on the first day should start at 5:30 PM. But some of the organisers and the paper stuff (like catalogs)  had been lost anywhere on the roads between Montenegro and Bulgaria. So the first show started late at 10 PM.

In the early morning (6 AM) the first night of exibitions and BIS- competitions  had been finished. This was a real challenge for all dogs and exibitors. 

 So it was not real surprising that some exibitors stroke the sail.

And we also decided, not to show our puppies Jonny and Zara (Bon Triumph Jean, Bon Triumph Zara) up to the end. Bonny (Bon Triumph Virginia) made a great job this night and in all shows this night she got EXCELLENT 1, CAC and BOB.

Also the following days havn't been less stressful, but the shows already starts at 8 PM and the BIS- competitions where mostly finished latest at 1 AM in the morning.

In th week, contests of the following countries took place:

• Bulgarien
• Mazedonien
• Montenegro
• Georgien
• Moldavien

In summary, it can be stated that ths exibition week was very hard for dogs and individuals, but at the end it was really worthwhile.... and not only regarding to the successes, but also for the people we met

At the end we give you a small overview about some of the exibitionresults our dogs got.
