"Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm." - Sir Winston Churchill

After a weekend filled with travelling, food, good company and lots of people, we sat down on sunday evening (8th May) with a sensation of "what was the point?".

Since we had already signed up for the NKK Kristiansand show 7-8th May and also received a invitation to my cousin's confirmation (Komfirmasjon), we decided to not sign up on the agility competition on saturday 07th May. After some good food and nice company, we got on the road to Kristiansand late saturday evening. The boys where angels on the trip, being quiet, sleeping a bit and enjoying the trip together with me and Elisabeth.

The show started 09:00 on Sunday, with briefing on the jumping course on the agility. Judge was Morten Holmen and he had made a relative manageable course with a few traps and lots of running. Due to me having pneumonia, Elisabeth was the "lucky" handler for this run..

 Leija was C-R-A-Z-Y during the agility, not doing much else then running around, looney as she is.. Agility run didn't go much better. I was going to do that run and was totally stressed out after the show-part of the weekend.

During the show, we didn't do all to good. Critiques are listed below. Judge was Rony Doedijns from Holland.

Coros Iko: "Very nice, Vnice size, typical head profile, nice eye, very good pigment, maybe head could have bit more length, excell body + angul, very good coat quality + colour, easy mover, very well presented" - Exc, 1, CK, 4th best male.

Coros Miracle: "Bigger bitch, corr prop, stumpy tail, corr head profile, dark but round eye, good bite but not full dentition, could do w more forechest, nice coat quality, prefer firmer topline, move from behind not parallell, missing drive + power + reach on move" - VG

Maybe next time will prove to be more successfull for us in Team Ikoria :)
