Gaia got: CAC BOB BOG
Lykeas:3rd Best Puppy in Show

Following last show's success, Ioli's littermate GAIA LYKAIA Breaking Thunder "Lykeas" blazed through the 2 days/2 shows event at Marathon, proving that he also has the "right stuff" of an emerging show dog, that can live up to the tradition of his name and of his lines! Lykeas captured the eye of both Mrs. Carla Molinari from Portugal and Mr. Avi Marshak from Israel.

Of course, GAIA LYKAIA Atlantia didn't do any worse, winning for herself in both days the Breed and the Group, under Avi Marshak from Israel in the first day and Mrs. Sonia Falletti from Italy at the second! The Pack received only appraisals from all judges, commenting both on the excellent quality of the dogs, but also on their exceptional movement in the show ring. A special thanks goes to Babis & Barbara for once again making Gaia shine in the ring and for our newest handler Mrs. Iliana....

Kupferberg Zvi [IL]

Vihar: CAC CACIB BOS
Lykaia: CAC CACIB BOG3
Ioli: 2nd Best Puppy in Show
Lykeas: BOS Puppy

Working our way towards the end of the Show year in Hellas, the double event in Athens was a very good opportunity to "baptize" our new puppies in the world of big shows. As only one of us made the trip to Athens (the other had to stay home with the rest of the puppies), it was just Siberians in the car. Unique was left behind to guard the den.

The Breed on the first day was judged by Mr. Nagler Magal from Israel and Vihar with his exceptional movement had no problem securing the position of best male of breed. Then it was the turn of the puppies, where again movement and attitude were the decisive factors. Ioli displaying a true show dog character entered the ring like a small locomotive, running and running and running all over the place! Lykeas [GAIA LYKAIA Breaking Thunder], being less exposed and prepared for shows, seemed a bit out of place, but his substance was impressive nevertheless. The class was decided there and then, with Lykeas getting the Best of Opposite Sex Puppy title. Lykaia was up next, with 3 other bitches in the open class, one of which was her littermate Gaia. Both our bitches displayed wonderful show presentation, which made things a bit harder for Mr. Nagler Magal to decide. Nevertheless, the CAC and the CACIB went to Lykaia, with the reserve positions going to Gaia, leaving the rest of the bitches far behind. Again, as Mr. Magal said, it was the powerful reach that Lykaia displays in the ring, that made the greatest difference in his choice. So again, as 4 times already in the last months, Vihar was facing his progeny in the Best of Breed, with the score between them being at that time equal.

This year the GAIA LYKAIA section that visited was all but of Vihar, new. Two of our B litter pups had their first contact with the show world, Lykaia from the Open class got the Best of Opposite Sex together with a valuable CACIB and Tango showed his true colours, swarming to the top of the Breed and then of the Group, finishing in the best possible way his Serbian Championship title, with a Best of Group V

Hellas
Breed & Group Judge: Nikos Bazakas [HE]
Best Baby in Show: Christian Vantu [RO]

Vihar got: CAC CACIB BOB BOG
Gaia got: CAC CACIB BOS
Unique got: Best Baby Puppy in Show

Debute of our new Eurasier girl Unique and at the best possible way! Under the judgment of Mr. Christian Vantu from Romania, she went all the way to the top, getting the
ultimate Show title in her class! The only problem of course is that for Group finals she will be competing against her own pack. And the Siberians will not be very happy about that...
 

Beograd  CACIB  [5  November 2006]

serbia
Breed & Group Judge: Hadzic Refet [BIH]

Vihar got: CAC CACIB BOS
Tya got: CAC CACIB BOS BOG3

We arrived in Beograd on our way to the World Dog Show in Poznan as we wanted the dogs to run in a good show before the big event. Beograd, as any national capital is regarded as difficult grounds, where you usually have to compete with the best of the country's breeders. And so it was. With 17 huskies entered at the show, there was a
crowd around the ring. The rain that was falling from the day before just added to the anguish of having everything ready and clean! Vihar was the first to enter in Champion class and with a full coat and fully prepared for the World Dog Show he shined as we went around.

"The Return of the Queen"                              Vlasotince CAC [9  September 2006]/Leskovac  CACIB  [10  September 2006]

Vlasotince CAC 9/9/06
Breed & Group Judge:
Nenad Davidovic (SCG)
BIS Judge:
Mahmoud Al Daghistani (SCG)

Vihar got: CAC BOS
Tya got: CAC BOB BOG BIS2
Tango got: CAC

Leskovac CACIB 10/9/06
Breed Judge:
Pal Paroci (SCG)
Group Judge: Pal Paroci &
Marionka Dekaristou (HE)


Vihar: CAC RCACIB
Tya: CAC CACIB BOB BOG2
Tango: CAC CACIB BOS
Upon her return to the rings, Tya demonstrated her total & undeniable domination! In Vlasotince, under the well known FCI judge Nenad Davidovic she swept the Breed and Group 5, taking the first place with such ease and elegance that the obvious had to be stated: "The Queen had returned to her dominion and no one could challenge her!" As Erine took her in the Best of Show ring, the word "husky" was at everyone's mouth. The crowd cheered as we have never heard it before as Tya made her rounds and when the General Secretary of the Serbian Cynology Club, Mr. Mahmoud Al Daghistani gave her the 2nd place you heard and felt the disappointment of the people as the Best In Show placement was what everyone had in mind. Nevertheless, for a bitch to even win the Group is a great achievement and we could not be more happy or content than we were in that moment. After a long winter away from showing and a labor, Tya was again claiming her rightful place among the pack!

The next day in Leskovac, the bright morning sun and the blue skies foretold a story that we already had seen. Tya entered the ring  with the same grace and determination as the day before and sure behold, she again achieved the maximum: CAC CACIB & BOB under the Serbian judge Pal Paroci! For the second time in these two shows, Tya was entering the Best of Group 5 ring under the skilful handling of Erine and we all watched as she effortlessly gaited around the ring and took her place in the queue. The 3rd placement of the Group came very fast and easy, but then the 2 judges hit a standstill. Each of them wanted to give the Group to the breed that they had judged! After a very long and high tensed "negotiation" between the organiser and the 2 judges, Tya was awarded the reserve Best in Group placement. All together a weekend to remember!
