Antwerp, or Esed's hometown

Last week Esed had visitors, Christiane and Daggi visited us and lovely half-sister Dafiinah was also present.
Here some pictures with the skyline of Antwerp as background.

Some more pictures @ the beach

Autumn @ the beach

We had nice weather the past few days, so we decided to go to the beach once again, even when it is autumn! With weather like this the beach is a fine place to be instead of the woods.   We had a lovely time!

Just some pictures

Two pictures of our Esed, one taken at the beach and one of Esed laughing while he was playing and running around like a crazy azawakh :-)

Pictures of the Azawakh JAS 2011

We were present at the Azawakh Yearshow in Haan-Hochdal on Saturday 10th September 2011. Due to illness of Mrs. D. Getzinger, the judges present at the show divided the azawakhs between them. The males were judged by Mrs. Piesik, and the females by Mr. Jipping. It's a pity that at an Azawakh Yearshow the judges didn't treat the males and females alike. But anyway we had a nice day with our friends and family and the dogs were happy to see each other again and luckily the weather was great for the Azawakhs, sunny and hot :-)

Pictures JAS, males open class and all females

And a picture of Esed in the Open Class.

Very busy summer!

The blog hasn't been updated since our Zino's birthday! Shame on me, but I had a good reason :-) we have had a very busy summer! We went on holiday to Germany, to Bremen and Berlin. We had a really nice time at the shows in Bremen, with Manuel and Nicole, the owners of Esed's brother Elham and sister Ewilen.

After Bremen we went to Berlin and enjoyed ourselves with nice walks, some sightseeing and visit to friends!

At the shows Esed was very succesfull, and so were Elham and Ewilen.
The results can be found on the Agg Amaias Website.

And last Sunday we went to the CACIB show in Mechelen, Esed obtained 1 Exc in the Open Class, CAC, CACIB & BOB. After the show we had a small photoshoot at on of the stands. The people were amazed that Esed stood still without a lead or collar and we had some nice comments about our boy :-)

Happy Birthday Zino

Our Zino, is 11 years old today. He is a very special dog for us. He arrived totaly unexpected as a 2 month old puppy with a recue organisation from Spain. When he was nearly 7 months old he became sick with Parvo. He nearly died. But Zino's love for us and to live was stronger, he survived. Now he's 11years old and we realise that he won't be with us for ever. But for now he enjoyes the priveleges of his age and gets his sweeties and love and special Zino time. 

Some pictures of Zino as a young dog and from Sunday, when we went to Luxembourg for a day.
