zoiboy Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 (edited) I am proud to say that Freya and Grif went to the Italian Festival last weekend and were the PERFECT ambassador's for the festival and their breed. Not only were they FANTASTIC with the public they come home and look after their horse as well. I do have permission from the parents of the small girls to use the photo.

espinay2 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Looks like everyone had a great time! These types of events are fantastic exposure for our breeds and for purebred dogs in general. Well done team! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoiboy Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 (edited) Thanks Espinay, it was a lovely weekend (even if it did rain cats and dogs all day saturday) and the pups had a nice time shmoozing, especially, Grifone who rather enjoyed meetin this daxie, another Maremma who was a local (and was on tv with us). For me it's all about talking urbanites out of owning a PMA. Grif's over all size helps Oh and it was a reat op to speak with a local politition aout that white paper. I tell you that has been a well kept secret. Edited April 24, 2013 by zoiboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raineth Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Oh it's lovely to see how happy and relaxed they are :) Do you know if there were any Spinone there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoiboy Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 Oh it's lovely to see how happy and relaxed they are :) Do you know if there were any Spinone there? No Spinone or Lagotto Romagnolo or for that matter any Neo's either. I do not know if any were invited either. I have suggested it in past years. The Pastore Maremmano Abruzzese have been invited each year and we have always been happy to attend. This photo is the most magnificant Aust CH Abruzzo (imp ita) and his son Cesco at the first festival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AWWWWW Thanks, I am pretty fond of the guys and do quite enjoy the festival weekend with them. Saturday was wet and we all hid under cover as much as possible. It was quite busy really in spite of the weather. The fesitval is on every year in April, I had to send one of my dogs with our friend Pamela last year as I was home holding Freya's paw while she looked for all the world like she was going to give birth any min. Anyway the festival was advertised on 2go and a newcastle station as well as nbn. Perhaps I can put a thread about it up here as well next year?

Sheridan Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 That's great. I once suggested a Celtic breeds show or display for a particular festival and the committee had no interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her daughter is in need of good dog manners, falling on strange dogs to cuddle is not wise and when it was very kindly pointed out that she should ask permission we were advised, she is used to big dogs. I think that both sarha and her daughter need better manners. THat was the only bad moment at all tho. I will let you know next year when it's on.
