SHOOTING DAYS ROCCA DE GIORGIE (PV) October 2022
On beautiful privately owned grounds I have the opportunity being part of shooting days with my dogs.
It’s very exciting, Gleam and Noko are working very well and big enthusiasm :-)
They really enjoy doing what they were born to do: hunting, searching and delivering…

I participated with Noko and my friend Gaby who owns Noko’s daughter Chiumani called “Kju” at the 2 days workshop “For Chessie's Only” held by Ulli Schlögell. She is a real “Chesapeake women”, she owns, breeds and hunts them for many years.
It was a great pleasure watching so many Chessies during their work. I must admit that “Kju” worked with big enthusiasm and extremely well for her age of 1½ years. If she goes on like this she will become a fantastic working dog… :-)

Judges: Mr. M. Galli (I), Mr. A. Terri (I), Mr. G. Dall Acqua
(I), Mr. G. Dovana (I)
For the first time Noko participated in Novice. She did quite well, I was very pleased how she worked.
We ended up on 4th place just one point behind the podium.
If I had handled her a little bit better we could have been easily 3rd even 2nd... Nevertheless we had a great day!
