A Memorable and Successful Weekend at 3× FCI CACIB Nitra 2026

The 3× FCI CACIB Nitra weekend was truly special for our team and our young girls. Across three days of competition, under highly respected international judges and exceptionally demanding judging, our youngsters exceeded all expectations.

Our young star JCh HU Felicitous Zazou (Dexbenella It’s Only Me × Felicitous Raspberry) achieved an incredible result by winning Junior Best of Breed and Best of Breed on all three days, earning these prestigious victories not only against other juniors, but also against adult champions and mature competition every single day.

What makes these results even more meaningful is the quality and strictness of the judging.

Throughout the weekend, many dogs received only Good or Very Good gradings, highlighting just how demanding the evaluations were. To be rewarded so consistently under such circumstances is an honour we deeply appreciate.

We were privileged to present Zazou under renowned judges with extensive breed knowledge, including respected spaniel specialists. Saturday's victory was particularly memorable under Mr. Karl E. Borregaard Berge (Norway/Denmark) of the world-famous Siegers kennel, a name synonymous with excellence in spaniels for decades. To have Zazou so highly appreciated by such an esteemed breeder and breed expert was truly special and a moment we will cherish for a long time.

Our sincere thanks also go to Mrs. Linda Clark (USA) and Mr. Pierre Talbot (Canada) for their appreciation of our young girl throughout the weekend.

Saturday brought yet another highlight when Zazou was awarded Junior Best in Group 3 under group judge Mrs. Ana Mesto Martin (Spain).

The weekend concluded with a very special achievement: Zazou fulfilled all requirements for the title of Slovak Junior Champion.

We could not be prouder of this young girl and everything she has accomplished at such a young age.

To keep Zazou company, we also brought along our lovely Marieness Agatha

(Felicitous Luke × Fergie Ruthless), who attended two days of the show. Agatha was awarded Very Promising Puppy on both days and, on Saturday, reached the final selection of the Top 5 Puppy Best in Show.

A heartfelt thank you goes to breeder of Zazou Susanne Menten and co-breeder of Agatha.

We are equally grateful to everyone who supported us online and ringside, and to all friends who helped around the ring throughout the weekend.

We returned home tired, proud, and incredibly grateful for an unforgettable show weekend in Nitra.
