Freddy & Hugo

  • WINTER DANUBE – Bratislava – 1.-2.3.2025

    Of course we did not miss the international dog shows in Bratislava, which followed the Victory Dog Show.
    And here we continued in a similar vein. I'm thrilled with how both of them work not only in the ring, but throughout the show day. In addition, we have already met other friends here, the boys saw their friend Jeremi z Kunčiček again and we enjoyed the whole day together (not forgetting the refreshment stands with a variety of drinks :-) ). Thanks to all our friends for their support!

    The final star this time was Freddy, which on Sunday he "grabbed" together with his handler Petra Kolegarova 2nd place in the final competition for the
    Best Puppy of the Show and also won the big cup!

    Overall results are absolutely amazing and it is an honour to compete with the biggest star in Slovakia among beagles Elliott Little Carpathians and his handler
    for the best adult dog (we will beat you one day anyway!). Res. CACIB counts!

    We have to thank also both judges - Mrs. Gabriela Ridarčíková (SK) and Mr. Štefan Šinko (SI), who gave us beautiful professional opinions on both dogs and appreciated what we have learned together in the ring.


    Results:
    Freddy (Piccolino z Negraland (FCI)
    puppy class – 2x VP 1
    and in the finals on Sunday 2.3.2025 - 2nd place in the competition for the Best puppy of the Show

    Hugo (Néreus Hare and Hounds)
    intermediate – 2x Exc.1, 2x CAC, 2x res. CACIB

    Hugo not only added two more CACs for adult Slovak Champion, but also started International Champion.

  • Victory Dog Show Bratislava – 28.2.2025

    Although we didn't know until the last moment whether we will be able to participate in the top of the show season in Slovakia, we finally went with both dogs.

    And I must say we are very happy! First of all, in the ring itself we met a very nice approach of the judge Viera Staviarska (SK). We have met her before, but this time we enjoyed the positive atmosphere and professional judging even more.

    But the best thing is that Hugo finally! took to the grace of the show and showed his best. This change is a reward for a lot of training and thinking how to do it (thanks to Lenka Frnčová for her advice on how to get there!).

    Results:

    Hugo (Néreus Hare and Hounds)
    intermediate - Exc.1, CAC, VICTORY JUNIOR WINNER

    and in the end Junior Best of FCI Group VI. - 2nd Vicechampion of Champions of Slovakia 2024

    Freddy (Piccolino z Negraland (FCI))
    class Puppy Champion - Very promising 1, VICTORY PUPPY WINNER

    Both of them confirmed their Slovak championships from 2024 and Hugo also started the adult Slovak champion. And we also brought back a total of three trophies🙂



  • Looking Back To The First Show Year With Hugo

    Hugo (Néreus Hare and Hounds) during training in TDH Academy (2025-02-12)

    A year ago we took our Hugo (Néreus Hare and Hounds) to his first exhibition (not yet competing).

    A lot of things happened that year, we made a lot of friends and discovered a new world for us. We also added another dog to our team, Freddy (Piccolino from Negraland).

    Even after a year, we still think that for us the most beautiful show was Club show of Beagle Breeders Club of Slovakia in Bobrovnik in May 2024 with great judge Lenka Frncova.

    One of the key shows was IHA Salzburg in August 2024 with judge Darko Drobniak (RS), where Hugo competed in junior class for the first time and proved to be a great cunning🙂(in 9 months and 2 days he beat the reigning world junior winner by half a year older).🙂 (v 9 měsících a 2 dnech s přehledem porazil úřadujícího o půl roku staršího světového juniorského vítěze).

    It was a wonderful experience to participate in the European Dog Show in Celje in October 2024 with judge Ann Ingram (IRL), where we were very much helped by TDH Team.

    We also have very fond memories of our start at the Danube CACIB in Bratislava in October 2024 with judge Iveta Vojtekova (SK).

    And the icing on the cake was The Regional Halloween Show in Provodovice - Kelč, once again with judge Lenka Frncova..

    And the December participation at at the shows in Wels (CACIB and CAC) in "men's only composition" with the support of Alexa Matelová from TDH Team on the spot and the completion of the Austrian Junior Champion deserves attention.

    But we also like to remember other experiences and judges where we may not have gotten the best score, but their attitude in the ring was absolutely amazing.

    And so a bit of statistics comes in handy

    • We have planned a total of 30 starts in 3 show classes.
    • In the end, Hugo showed up 28 times (unfortunately, illness prevented him from starting twice).
    • We met 25 different judges from 10 countries..
    • We visited 6 different countries – besides our country, Slovakia, Austria, Poland, Germany and Slovenia.
    • He started 3 times in minor puppy class, always with rating VN1 and won Club Show Winner of Minor Puppy Class in Slovakia.
    • He started 4x in puppy class, always with rating VN1 and got Club Show Winner of Puppy Class in the Czech Republic..
    • He started 21x in junior class and obtained:
      • Junior Champion of Slovakia
      • Junior Champion of Austria
      • Winner of the specialty show – junior dog (SK)
      • Winner of junior class and Winner of JBIG FCI VI. (regional show)
      • 6x BOJ
      • 5x CACIB-J
      • 8x CAJC
      • 1x Exc. from European Dog Show
      • 9x Exc. 1
      • 3x Exc. 2
      • 1x Exc 3.
      • 1x Exc 4.
      • and also 5x Very good and once not assessed 🙂

    We still have a month to go in the junior class so we are training hard. Thanks a lot for the training and occasional handling TDH Team & Academy, for handling our junior handler Melca Rulcova and for valuable advice to more experienced friends.

    We are looking forward to meeting our friends at other shows and of course to meet new and already known judges.

    And since we don't have a photo from the last show, which we couldn't attend, one photo in show stance from training at TDH Academy.

  • CACIB Katowice 8. – 9.2.2025

    On Sunday 9.2.2025 our beagle boys Hugo and Freddy started at CACIB Katowice 2025. We looked at our Freddy's home country.

    Results:

    Hugo – Néreus Hare nad Hounds

    Got Exc.3 in Junior class (3/4).

    Freddy – Piccolino z Negraland (FCI)

    Won the Best Puppy of the Breed (1/6) - Najlepsze Szcenie w Rasie - and advanced again to the final ring.

    Judge: Mrs. Paula Sunebring (SE)

    We enjoyed the whole weekend in Katowice – Gliwice including sightseeing.

  • Carnival Cup Dog Show Nitra 26.1.2025

    On the weekend we made a trip to Slovakia again, where on Sunday both dogs competed on the last day of the international Carnival Cup Dog Show in Nitra.

    Freddy (Piccolino z Negraland (FCI)) was last time in Minor Puppy category, he got VP1 and even though the judge didn't write the judgement, he got verbal praise.
    In the final rounds, he held his stance beautifully for an interminably long time and then showed himself nicely in the final ring.

    Hugo (Néreus Hare and Hounds) got VG2 in junior class, but he deserves praise for how he ran nicely in the ring this time.

    Judge: Vladimír Piskay (SK)

    All in all, we enjoyed the trip not only in Nitra, but on the way back we also visited Prostějov for lunch with nice friends.

  • NV Brněnská 11.1.2025

    At the first domestic show in 2025 both our beagles started together for the first time.

    Freddy won VN2 in the puppy category. He showed himself nicely and it is obvious that he enjoys shows.

    Hugo in the young category got Exc.1 and CAJC. Even though he was very angry, he and his handler did very well.

    Judge: Mrs. Věra Dvořáková (CZ)

    We would like to thank for handling Hugo great junior handler Amelia Rulcova and we would like to congratulate her for finals in the older category of Junior handling - 2nd place on Saturday 11.1.2025 and 3rd place on Sunday 12.1.2025.

  • NITRADOG Christmas Cup 4x CACIB 2024

    Freddy participated in 3 show days and won 3x VP1 (very promissing 1) and his first championship – Slovak Puppy Champion (Slovenský šampión šteniat).

    It was his first show marathon and he did absolutely amazing at only 4 months of age! He also performed beautifully in the final puppy competition in the main ring for the first time (once under Alexa Matelová from TDH, the second time with his owner). We had a lot of fun together with other friends and their beagles.
