Cough, cough..let me brag a bit, if you haven`t notice yet, I am a real beauty. Namely, since the 16th of September 2007 I can put in front of my name my first champion title (So please refer to me as Ch. Thandiwe!) Since then I can add, that I have fulfilled also the conditions for slovenian junior championship and have won candidatures in different countries throughout Europe including three international titles….actually, this means that we have visited a great deal of different places and met some really interesting people (and dogs) in dog shows which is the best thing of all this, except for the big bones they sell at the dog shows (and Maja buys me as a present) – that is even better. As a special achievement Maja and I consider the sucessfully conquered companion dog exam, which includes obedience, a theoretical exam for the owner and correct behaviour in the city with all the pedestrians, cyclists, rollerbladers and so on. But the best achevement of all, Maja says, is that I have grown, according to my name (Thandiwe is an african name and means »loving one«) in a loving and happy dog. Knowing, that my only presence (I am fast, bouncy and weigh around 35 kilogrames) might be frightening for most people…I want to declare as a final thought here, that I actually love to give everyone kisses!You can read more about my expo results and other successes on www.tana.si
