Fim de semana de Exposição de Cães em Família! (Weekend Dog Shows with Family!! )

Os Springers na nossa família vêm de uma longa tradição, o Avô da Teresa trouxe os primeiros Springers para a Herdade à mais 55 anos.Agora, muitos anos depois dos primeiros Springers, é a nossa vez de continuar a tradição, tradição essa que já começámos a ensinar á próxima geração, basta verem as fotos das exposições no Estoril do passado fim de semana!!

The Springers at our family came from a long tradition along the last decades, Teresa’s grandfather brought the Springers to the family 55 years ago.
Now, many years since the first Springer at the farm, it’s being our time to take care of them from some years to this part, and since that time we love to take them to the shows, and so we are the ones that groom them, we teach them, we do the handling, sometimes we lose, and sometimes we won, but they are part of the family and we enjoy them every days!!
Now the breeding, showing and being part of the family of our 14 English Springer Spaniel it’s a passion that we are beginning to teach to the next generation, and so far….so good!!!

Take a look at the family pictures of this last weekend at Estoril Show – Portugal.

Portugal – Sintra International Show

The day went just Great same has the day before: Indira was best baby, Giesta got the female CAC and Diva won the BOB!!
But one of the highest moment of the day was the moment that we had the most sweetest request from Joana Matos Correia, a very young junior handler that ask if we h...ad a dog that she could present at Junior handlers at the main ring, and so we decided to give her Zebra (Giesta de São Barão), but it was the first time that Zebra was showed by anyone that Teresa and me, and so we were a little bit concern of the success of Joana.
But take a look at the photos, Joana was great, what a marvelous young junior handler, and Zebra…well, she made us proud, courage to go with a “stranger”, and happy to been showed at the main ring!! We just love this moment, congratulations Joana!!!

O dia de exposição correu lindamente, tal como o dia anterior: Indira Best Baby, Giesta ganhou o CAC, e a Diva ganhou a raça BOB!!
Mas um dos momentos altos do dia foi o momento em que tivemos um pedido especial e amoroso, da parte da Joana Matos Correia, uma muito jovem handler que nos perguntou se teríamos um cão que ela pudesse apresentar no concurso de jovens apresentadores no ringue principal. E então decidimos dar-lhe a Zebra (Giesta de São Barão), mas com algum receio sobre como iria correr, pois a Zebra nunca tinha sido apresentada por ninguém que não eu ou a Teresa.
Mas vejam as fotos, a Joana foi fantástica, que fantástica jovem apresentadora!! E a Zebra…bom, ficámos orgulhosos, que coragem de ir tão à vontade com alguém que não conhecia, e contente por estar no ringue principal!! Adorámos o momento, parabéns Joana!!!

Continua fantástica a aventura do primeiro cachorro do Canil de São Barão por terras brasileiras!! Se nas suas duas primeiras exposições o Homero de São Barão tinha conseguido o feito de alcançar um 2º e um 3º lugar no pódio de cachorros do 8º grupo, no passado fim de semana no Rio de Janeiro voltou a repetir a façanha, e nas duas exposições alcançou de novo um 2º e um 3º lugar do grupo! Fantástico trabalho e dedicação da Patrícia e Osvaldo, e que orgulhosos que ficamos nós do Homero (Winterwater Creeck’s Cross The Fingers x Diva de São Barão).
