Trip to the USA in 2014
This year Hundemama flew together with her girl-friends Beate, Selina and Selina`s Mom first to Boston to visit Carol and family, the owner of two Barretts, then to Florida to meet with her son Jacko, who resides in Florida, and part of her family, then to San Francisco to meet with the owner of Quin and to meet with another Lady in Pebbles Beach and last but not least to visit Lisa in Las Vegas.
All four had a wonderful time and it will be for sure not the last trip to the USA. Selina and Hundemama do have plans to fly to Chicago mid part of May 2015 for the Siegershow of the Schutzhund Club of America. Plans are to stay for one week and meet up with a few Barrett owners who can make it to Chicago around that time. When the time comes just send a quick Email and we will be sending information
Again many thanks to our Barrett-Team, without this Team Hundemama would not been able to go on a vacation like this. The Barrett-Team took care of our fourlegged friends during Hundemama`s absence.
Quite a few pictures were taken on this trip. House-Barrett likes to share them with all the visitors of this webpage
This time these pictures will not be uploaded all at once, because so many pictures were taken. It takes time to upload these pictures, especially during the time we are raising puppies.
This page had been opened in October and continued on October 21st, 2014
Visiting friends in Cape Cod in May 2014
Our first stop was to meet with Carol on Cape Cod
A beautiful place
Nice places to go shopping
Nice houses
We walked for about one hour
All of us enjoyed
this day very much
Dunkin Donuts, great!
We had dinner at a nice restaurant with a nice view
Cute houses
Carol owns a cat and she enjoyed
the attention she did get from Hundemama
Next day we had a full program, first of all we went tracking with Carol
Carol as a very nice trainer who helps her with training her two dogs
Of course Selina went with us to show Viggo how
to walk or run in a ring
Nice stand
Viggo is a young son of Hera and Yakko
It did not take long and Viggo was presenting himself very nice
Look at him!
Carol`s girl Keisha could be our Indi. They look so much alike. It is amazing
Keisha is also a daughter of Buddy
Beautiful head and dark face, although both females have different Moms
Carol with her two Barretts
It was also very nice to meet up with the owner of Dame-Ziva,
a very big female from Nora and Tyson
One last picture for the album
and another one
Then things became serious. There was a trial held there that day
and Carol entered with her Keisha for the BH trial
For the first time we watched a schutzhund trial in the USA
Beate and Selina`s Mom seem to enjoy this very much
Introducing themselves to the judge
Carol with Keisha
It was very hot that day. No shade around
This kind of weather is not so good for a longhair GSD
Yet Keisha did very well
How nice she heels!
Almost finished
Both of them done very well, but the judge still found a few things, which they could have done better
The first part they had accomplished, now came the 2nd part
Which is called the "street part". Here the owner has to show, that the
dog is not afraid of cars, not of bikes, not of joggers
All of the dogs done very good
One dog was locked up to a pole, while others were passing with their dogs
The judge command Carol and her dog
and as you see on their faces, including Keisha`s face, all of them very happy, they passed the BH trial. Congratulations!
Carol, Hundemama and Keisha
Now it was the turn for the owners and their dogs for IPO trial
This one unfortunately did not make it
We believe, that training a dog for the IPO I trial is the hardest trial to
have your dog trained for. They have to learn everything
Just enjoying!
and having a good old "Pizza" for lunch
Just two hours later at the Boston Airport, waiting for the flight to Florida
Going to the gate!
