DK:
I lørdags var Vixen og jeg i Vonge til årets første klubudstilling for
at få overrakt pokalen for Årets Jagttoller 2017.
Titlen som Årets Jagttoller får man ved at deltage på klubbens
tollerjagtprøver. De enkelte præmieringer i de enkelte klasser giver et antal
point – og de to bedste resultater tæller. For Vixens vedkommende var det en 1.
præmie i begynderklassen (20 point) og en 2. præmie i åben klasse (21 point). Sammenlagt
gav det 41 point, hvilket var et eneste point mere end de tre, der fik en
samlet 2. plads. En af dem, der fik en 2. plads var Helle og Cookie. De fik deres
point fra 2 x 1. præmie i begynderklassen.
Jeg er utrolig glad og stolt af at vinde titlen for andet år i træk.
Vixen og jeg har haft vores udfordringer (mest mig, da Vixen er stort set
perfekt), og vi kom egentlig lidt sent i gang med seriøst at gå til prøver. Jeg
havde lidt stressproblemer med hende og dermed lidt lydproblemer. Der er stadig
stress, og der kan også være lyd, og nu er vi der, hvor jeg har lært at
acceptere det. Det betyder ikke, at jeg ikke stadig arbejder på at mindske
begge dele, men det er nok urealistisk, at nogen af delene forsvinder
fuldstændig.
Jeg er lige så glad og stolt over Helle og Cookies resultat. De to kan
bare arbejde sammen, og Helle har fået styr på så mange ting ved Cookie, som
jeg ikke har formået at få styr på med Vixen. Nu håber jeg bare, at Cookie
kommer godt ud af sin sygdom og binyrebarkhormon, så de to igen kan få gang i
jagttræningen og jagtprøverne.

This Saturday, Vixen
and I went to the Toller club’s first show this year to be presented with the trophy
for Hunting Toller of the Year 2017.
You are eligible for
this titel by participating in the Toller club’s toller hunting tests. Every
prize at every level (beginner, open, and winner) gives a number of points –
and the two best results counts. As to Vixen, these results were a 1. prize in beginners’
class (20 points) and a 2. prize in open class (21 points). This amounted to 41 points – only 1 single
point ahead of the three that were places second. One of those was Helle and
Cookie (Wildmountain Tollers Clever Cookie). Their highest points were 2 x 1. prizes in
beginners’ class.
I am so happy and
proud to win this title for the second year. Vixen and I have had our
challenges (mostly me as Vixen is an almost perfect dog) and we started a bit
late doing hunting training and hunting tests in a serious way. Vixen had some
stress issues and thus some noise issues. There still is some stress and sometimes
a bit of noise. But now I have learned to accept it. This doesn’t mean that I
don’t still try to reduce both but I realize that it is unrealistic to expect
that both stress and noise will disappear completely.
I am just as happy and
proud of Helle and Cookie. They are just such a great team and Helle has
managed to get some of the things that I struggle with under control. Now I
just hope that Cookie recovers well from the IMRD and the cortisone treatment
so that they can continue their hunting training and hunting tests.
