Repe and I were qualified to the Finnish IPO-FH Championship Games and that was our main goal for the year. But unfortunately our dreams of success were ruined by nose ticks. After the peculiar problem in Repe´s tracking in Finnish Hovawart FH-Championship games on the 28.9. I talked about it with many friends and luckily one friend suggested that maybe it was caused by nose ticks. I took Repe to a vet on Tuesday 30.9. and got medicine for that to both Sissi and Repe. And it was known that after the medicine treatment the symptoms will become worse as the body tries to get rid of all dead sticks. That also happened, Repe simply could not smell the track at all. He knew that it will go straight from the pole and tried to go forward but stopped. As he really loves tracking he was as happy and interested to start tracking as always but he just could not track. THAT WAS SO SAAAAAD! I am sure Repe has already recovered from the disappoitment but for me it surely takes much longer. I am still happy we went there and tried so know I have seen this top level game very closely and it was really nice to meet all wondefull FH enthusiastic all around the country. I AM SURE THAT WE WILL COME AGAIN!
