I. HUNGARIAN OPEN
Our international competition was a big success - we'll do it again next year! Thanks to our judges - Anne Savioja, Bernd Hüppe, Manuel Alff - for the great courses. For me it was very hard to organise and to compete. I got with Nevian only 3 clean runs from 9 - and 4 dis.

NEW VIDEO ABOUT OUR HISTORY
I got a fantastic video about Nevian's agility run in Basel. Thanks so much, Bettina!
SEMINAR IN VILTERS (SWITZERLAND)
We spent nice days in Vilters and met nice dogs and people. There were not only Shelties and Border Collies in my group. Bettina has very good Scottish Terriers and I liked the Schipperke from Italy too. Her owner came with Irene Unkauf. It was a great honour for me, because she's a multiple national team member and I've always conected her name to the World Championship. I was very happy to see Romy and her Poodles again. She made a very big development since last year!

WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP, DORNBIRN
SPEED DOGS WINTERCUP
1+1 = 1 :) Nevian won the first and the second run, and the combination, of course. I'm very satisfied with Tessa too, only one bar felt down, but it was my mistake. She felt down from the dogwalk in the first run because of my blind cross. It was an improvisation: Nevian knows me better, so she reacted perfectly. Pictures here A3 Parcours plans: Hüppe, Huber
VILTERS (CH), BÜHL (D)
We spent a very nice day in Vilters, we met a lot of our friends. Nevian won the open agility and took the 3. place in jumping. Tessa was 6. in open agility and no bars fell down in three runs! The judge was Rolli Schiltz, I like his agility courses very much, but the jumping was not my type. In Germany, Nevian won the A3 agility run, she did a great job!

II. SPEED DOGS WINTERCUP
No wins, but many positive things! Nevian had very best time in the 1. run, but one bar felt down. She came out from the tunnel in the 2. run, but had beautiful contact on the dogwalk and perfect see-saw!!! Tessa makes me crazy :) Every contact was OK in the 1. run, but the LAST bar felt down. No problem with bars in the 2. run, but she jumped off from the dogwalk. A-frame was better, see-saw perfect. Results and parcours plans here, pictures here
Michaela and I hold a seminar in St. Gilgen (13-16. of May 2010)
KORNEUBURG WINTERCUP
It was a very nice and friendly competition with good parcourses. Both of the girls did a good job, only the carpet was slippery and I made some mistakes. (I mismanaged the distance before the see-saw.) Nevian got the 3. place in the open agility run.
MEOE WINTERCUP
OBERAMMERGAU, HOTEL WOLF
We hade a nice week in Oberammergau, before the FCI meeting in Kreuth.

TURNIER IN WYHLEN-GRENZACH (GERMANY)
After the seminar in Oberammergau, we had a competition in Grenzach. The A3 and J3 courses were really interesting. My favourite was the A3 on Sunday from Karl-Heinz Krause. Nevian took the 3. place with one refusal! Only 7 teams from 37 were not eliminated. I made always a little mistake with Nevian, and in the last run we had no luck: Nevian wanted to jump before the weave... It was Tessa's first complete weekend without mistake!!! She took the 4. place both in jumping 3 on Saturday and in open jumping on Sunday.
3. AND 4. FCI QUALIFYING COMPETITIONS
After a mistake on the dogwalk in the agility run and dis in the first jumping, Nevian took the 2. place in the second jumping run. Tessa was good in the agility run, but mistake on the see-saw: up contact... I make a dis also with her in the first jumping and one bar felt down in the second jumping run.
On Sunday, Nevian began with an exciting agility run: she wanted to make the weave instead of the third jump and the flat tunnel instead of the dogwalk. But she rescued me on the last line: I let her go after the dogwalk and she made the last 5 jumps alone and didn't want to go into the tunnel instead of the last jump. We won this run, of course! In the second agility she made a contact mistake on the dogwalk again, but everything else was perfect and we took the very best time and the 4. place. In the jumping run, I said "go on" instead of "here to me" after the last tunnel - dis. But we got enough points to get into the team. Nevian is the only one large dog in individual! We won the team point ranking too, but it was not enough. We missed the first qualifying competition because of the Crufts, and that means 3x50 faults like dis in the normal ranking.

SINTAVA CUP (SLOVAKIA)
We had a nice weekend in Slovakia. On Friday, Nevian won both of the agility and the jumping run. On Saturday and Sunday, we had some problems with the contact and the start line stay, so I used the runs to train. Tessa made me crazy... For example on Saturday, she had the best time in open jumping, but the first bar felt down... The courses were great, many thanks to Bernd Hüppe, Manuel Alff, Pavel Vakonic and Zeljko Gora!

WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP OF BELGIAN SHEPHERD DOGS
The Hungarian National Team took the 5. place in the team competition. Tímea Lengyel with Cuba Libre Bergerac de Hu "Miel" took also the 5. place in the final. The ground was very good - very short artificial grass with sand - but everything else very bad. Most of the courses were too easy, the organisation too awful. Tessa had no luck. The first agility run was very nice, the time was enough good for the final - but now the last bar felt down... The two jumpings without mistake were not fast enough. Videos: agility, jumping I., jumping II.
USDAA NEWSLETTER
Here is the USDAA newsletter - you can find Nevian in the results of the Mid-Atlantic Agility Showcase in Virginia. It was so beautiful in America...
FLYING HOTDOGS CUP, LUXEMBURG
We spent a beautiful week in Luxemburg with our friends Nancy, Becky-Sue, Rolli and Jesse. The Flying Hotdogs Cup was a very nice and friendly competition again. Nevian won the J3 both on Saturday and Sunday. Tessa... no comment. I enjoyed Grygar's courses! Nevian with Becky-Sue did two clean runs as a white dog, congratulations!!! Results and videos: Nevian jumping Saturday, Sunday, Nevian with Becky-Sue agility, jumping, Tessa agility. More here
AGILITY WEEK DDV HERENTALS, BELGIUM
Nevian won the pay of the day run on Friday and the A3 and the J3 runs on Saturday. I never said it before, but these were two perfect runs! After the disco near to our tent until 2.00 o'clock, I was fedup on Sunday and we didn't win anything, only 3. place in pairs with Nancy Schiltz and Naish.
INTERNATIONAL ALL BREEDS CUP, GERMANY
EUROPEAN OPEN, LIBEREC
I've had never any luck with EO... this year was the same... In individual jumping, I showed the jump instead of the weave. The individual agility was very nice, but the judge gave us a mistake on the dogwalk, and also the time was very bad - no wonder in 10 cm deep mud! The reason: the place was not a football ground, only something green in the middle of the athletic field...
On Sunday, I took Nevian too early out of the car, so she was crazy. The team agility was Tessa's best run with very nice a-frame contact. The other three were s***. Nevian's team jumping run was a wonder! Very best line after 2., 7. and 8., but I forgot to say something before the long jump, as I planned.
Congratulation to Wéber Krisztina with Tikó (small). She won the individual agility run and took the 3. place in individual jumping.
SLOVAK NATIONAL CUP
We had a gorgeous weekend in Kamenny Mlyn. Nevian did 7 clean runs from 8! Just one mistake on the see-saw - of course in the final :) But Nevian had the best time again... We won every individual agility run and also the team competition with Harangozó Ágnes and Péczely Tünde. Such a beautiful weekend!
LUXEMBOURG OPEN
We fulfilled our plan in Luxembourg: 5 clean runs from 5 runs! Nevian took the 2. place in the final. It was a very nice competition on artificial grass and with plenty of prices. We won dogfood and toys from Fressnapf, leash and caps from Royal Canin, tunnel from AniOne, beach umbrilla and a Berner scewdriver set. Here are the results and some videos: agility open, final.
