This time, Ki\u0161a was 2nd in finals, which means a whole lot to me. Not because it would be better than all the \u0160ja`s silvers or gold\u2019s, but because it is my first great result in large, and she is my second dog that can do well on a top level.<br \/>\nLittle \u0160ja was great as well, together with Silvia`s La and Le and Da\u0161a`s Katka, she was silver in teams for second year in a row\u2026<br \/>\nAnd \u0160aj\u2026 well, she was pretty\u2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<div style=\"max-width:WIDTHpx;\" ><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Vn6_l2QVMVg?wmode=transparent\" width=\"WIDTH\" height=\"HEIGHT\" ><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-3410\" alt=\"306453_10151068899338972_478763509_n\" src=\"http:\/\/polonabonac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/306453_10151068899338972_478763509_n.jpg\" width=\"184\" height=\"196\" \/>Both Ki\u0161a and \u0160ja qualified for the Agility World Championship. Ki\u0161a had great runs, sadly she dropped a bar in two courses, and in the final round she had to deal with me, forgetting the course. I am sorry about that one, because it was a kick ass run. So her best result was the team silver medal we won in jumping, together with Silvia`s Bu, and Matej with Witch and Criss. Little \u0160ja run only in team this year. Great clean jumping, elimination in agility. \u0160aj did not run the AWC, but she had a great period just before that. She ran more clean runs than ever (no bars down!), and she was very fast, she actually was faster than Ki\u0161a, and won lots of runs\u2026 Let`s hope next season is hers\u2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3421 alignleft\" alt=\"535568_3928567096986_294302539_n\" src=\"http:\/\/polonabonac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/535568_3928567096986_294302539_n-199x300.jpg\" width=\"194\" height=\"293\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3419 alignleft\" alt=\"230120_3928556416719_1180856311_n\" src=\"http:\/\/polonabonac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/230120_3928556416719_1180856311_n-199x300.jpg\" width=\"194\" height=\"294\" \/>In November we participated at 2nd Croatian Sheepdog working championship. Both of my girls were just awesome, but Ki\u0161a was unstoppable. She competed in all the working disciplines of the championship (agility, tunnel cup, herding, bikejoring, obedience, protection, tracking, frisbee, search and rescue). 9 disciplines, 8 medals, 4 gold (agility, protection, herding, tracking), 3 silver (frisbee, bikejoring, obedience), one bronze (tunnel cup). \u0160aj won frisbee, was 3rd in obedience, 4th in tunnel cup and 5th in bikejoring. They were both on a podium in the combined result, Ki\u0161a was the overall winner, together with her brother Rudi, \u0160aj came second.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And last but not least \u2013 I started competition carrier with a little white furious thing called Ru. She is a Parson Russell Terier, owned and trained by my friend Tinca Furlan, who simply does not have the nerves to compete with her.
