2nd. Scottie Weekend in Battenberg, 25. + 26.07.2009

The Fun Day

After the big success in Königswinter last year, the Scottish Terrier Association organised the 2nd. Scottish Terrier weekend in Battenberg. This is a small village in the "Sauerland", a very nice landscape in West Germany.

The venue has a rustic hall and is surrounded by a huge grassland, ideal for the fun cometitions.

Most of the preparatory work was done by our breed representative, Dr. Hans-Peter Clieves. He organised the complete Fun Day, obtaining most of the equipment for the Fun- and Agility cours, and, and, and. The whole event had to be coordinated.

We started on Saturday morning: Less than 10 people managed to prepare the hall and the courses outside.

And then all the Scotties arrived. This time there were participates from different countries: Germany, Netherlands, Belgium and even visitors from Norway. Our judge Cindy Cooke from USA completed the picture.

The Agenda:
Saturday:
Fun course, Agility, Scottie flea market, Trimming demonstration, Scottie race, dinner, Breed lecture.

Sunday:
2. Scottie Special Open Show (Judge: Cindy Cooke, USA)

Nicole Meissner and Petra Detemple already arrived Friday evening with their caravan. They spent the whole weekend next to the hall together with their 5 Scotties.

During the weekend several campers accompanied them.

Kick-off on Saturday morning.

Our breed representativ, Dr. Hans-Peter Clieves welcomed the participants and Cindy Cooke, who enjoyed to be an active part of the Fun Day.

I donated some sparkling wine, like last year.

Then everybody moved to the Agility parcour.

Otto Lott and his bitch Ch. Magnico Cimberley showd, how much fun Scotties can have with this sport.

Soon after the demonstration nearly everybody wanted to try it himself.

Otto Lott had to work hard to help and assist the - more or less - enthusiastic Scotties and their owners with their first Agility training.

The next queue was built in front of the Fun course.

Here the Scotties had to solve tasks. Sometimes they had to combine themselves, sometimes the just had to trust their 2-legged partner.


In the hall there was a Scottie flea market built up for the whole weekend. Many Scottie enthusiasts offered things they did not need anymore. There were quite some rarities inbetween.

Later in the afternoon Cindy Cooke held a trimming demonstration. She showed the typical trimming in "American Style".

Especially for breeders and exhibitors it was highly interesting to see the differences to our usual style.

Cindy Cooke showed that you can get a good result with different techniques and tools. In the end it is most important that the trimmer knows what he is doing. The style just is "a matter of taste".

Also the so called "Happy Feet" were demonstrated. These are small stilts that are fixed on a magnetic plate. The Scottie has to balance himself on the stilts.

The stilts should help to tidy up the paws easily. But - at least - in America they are also used to train the correct show position. Among the audience there was a controversal discussion, whether the name "Happy Feet" could be true.

As this is my private site, I may give my personal opinion: I love to see a Scottie showing naturally, i. e. he presents himself "square" because off his anatomy and his character, typical for our breed! Having seen this stilts, I am not that sure anymore, if some dogs in the International show scene were not just trained with this or similar tools to hold their "perfect position" for a long time.

After the trimming demonstration it was time for action again: The Scottie race!

In the forefront I actually was against this event. I am not a friend of the discipline where the dogs try to hunt behind a rabbit skin. On our daily tours through forrest and field my dogs should have fun, of course. But it is stressing for everybody when they lost control, hunting tracks of the wild animals living around us. For me it does not make any sence to train our family dogs on wild tracks.

But it this case I revise my original position: This Scottie race was a GIANT FUN for all dogs and their owners. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of this because in the end I participated with Q and Ruby. :-) Some pictures can be found on the website of the Scottish Terrier Association www.scottieinfo.de, click on button "Scottie Weekend".

The dogs had to run a short distance of app. 30 to 40 meters and it was in the creativity of the owners to get their Scotties to high speed. Everything was allowed: To spur on from start- or finish line, to place friend or enemy at the finish line, to run with the dog, to run in front of the dog, to let the dog run alone or in pairs. Each participate had two runs.

In the end everybody was infected. Also those that originally just wanted to watch this spectacle - as myself. Finally Q not really interested in reaching the finish line as quick as possible. He prefered the lovely smelling grass. At least Ruby had great fun, running together with her sister Reggae. In the end Ruby was within the top 5.

Then we were back in the hall. The evening programm started with a rich dinner.

Afterwards the fun days winner were announced. The trophies were donated from my fund.

The first day closed with a breed lecture, held by Cindy Cooke. She compared the developement of the Scottish Terrier breed in England and America on the basic of the different standards.

Der Show Tag

On Sunday the Scottish Terrier Associations 2nd. Scottie Special took place.

We belong to the KFT (German Terrier Club) and unfortunately our mother club does not support any shows where only one breed is shown. Therefor we had to hold this show as "Open Show" (= without CAC).

Our judge this year was Mrs. Cindy Cooke from America. Together with Mrs. Miriam "Buffy" Stamm she breeds the worldwide known Anstamm Scottish Terriers.

42 Scotties were entered. This was again the highest entry for Scotties of all shows in Germany this year. In 2008 the first Scottie weekend in Königswinter also had the biggest entry.

There were some nice little prices donated for all participants. Every class winner got little red rosetts and additionally there were specially signed prints by Marion Needham Krupp (USA) for the specialty winners.
