Sooo proud of Werner&Esmeralda, my students from puppy class on, for winning Austrian WC qualifications, yay!!! Came to help the 2nd day, but they already won 4/4 runs, so no help needed anymore I guess!
And well, I hope Bu and Bi do as well in our qualifications as in Austria today - some videos soon, but first off to bed, I just had to brag about Werner&Esmeralda 🙂
 Silvia Trkman is known for bringing every dog, from her first dog on, to the very top of the sport. Her dogs are known for great speed, tight turns, running contacts and long and injury-free careers. Silvia is in agility since 1992 and is– 3x World Champion (with two different dogs)
– 5x European Open winner, with 4 different dogs (Lo, La, Bu, Le)!!!
– National Championships podium and World Team member with every dog she’s ever had – National Champion for 22-times (with 5 different dogs of 3 different breeds) – World Team member for 19-times (mostly with at least two dogs at the time – sometimes four 🙂 ) |
OH my goodness, so happy for Werner&Esmeralda 🙂 HOW great is THAT!!!
they sure have the best teacher ever 🙂
I know, they were just brilliant! Werner did a great job and on a couple of spots where he didn’t end in the best position, Esmeralda saved it all -- what a great team!
Congratulations to everyone involved!!
Woo HOO!! Congratulations to Werner & Esmeralda, indeed! They’re blazing the way for lots of your students, I’m betting. Thank you for all you give to us, Silvia.
Thanks, it sure is reinforcing! 🙂 And Esmeralda is just 2,5 years and is Werner’s first fast agility dog (he ran a slow mix before)!
Wow, wow, wow! Congrats to Werner & Esmeralda! And hooray for Silvia, who is so quick to celebrate all successes, large and small!!! I suspect Silvia will be busy with posts such as these as folks “graduate” and take the agility world by storm!!! 🙂
I know, so looking forward!!! 🙂
Congrats, this is really very good news! I am happy for Werner&Esmeralda and also for you, Silvia, what a wonderful success!
You are a good role model for me! I am wildly determined: wait only 4 years, then you can make similiar posting with the name “Malaika and Melinda”. 🙂
Best wishes to you!
Melinda + Malaika
Getting there! 🙂
Congratulations!!! you’re a very good teacher, and they a very good students I guess! 😉
They sure are!
I’m so happy for them too -- especially because they are always having so much fun together. Sadly one can’t see that too often, but it’s a joy seeing Werner and Esmeralda run. They definitely deserve this 😀
And guess who is the 2nd one qualified 😀
YAY!!! Two spots and they get taken by the two dogs with RC and cik&cap!!! 🙂 Liberec will be fun to watch! So Charlie found that DW in that last tricky course then? Sorry I missed that run!
Congrats to them ! 😀
How did Bu and Bi do?
Those were Austrian qualifications, we were there just to see them run and ran “on invitational”. They did great though, will definitely qualify if they do the same in our qualifications 🙂 But for Bi, it was easier to keep all the bars up there as she is much better on artificial surface as grass. So I guess I should move to Austria to qualify with her 🙂
ah I see, when are yours?
We have 6 trials for qualifications, starting in May and ending in July.
Congrats to Werner and Esmeralda 🙂
We were classmates, and I just loved watching them run…
and listening to Werners screams at the end of their runs 🙂
