Another successful trip to Poland at least result-wise. Our little hero Howdy did an amazing job and on her first Polish show among other very good cresteds, she finishes her Polish Championship and adds another CACIB. Madara and I felt like heroes after this trip as well...Our car broke down couple of kilometers away from the show venue, I was able to find a ride to the show but our car had to be towed all the way back to Latvia on an evacuator truck because none of the mechanics in the area could fix it. This was the most expensive and hardest CACIB we have earned!
