On level I there were lots of participants, 16 catahoulas entered the arena, very nice number! We have loved to see the enthusiasm both for dogs and owners.
Level II is always at the open pasture , dogs need to work a bit differently, at this stage 9 catahoulas entered.
Judges were Winston Beavert and John Garvey on I, Winston Beavert and Karel Kalny at II. Thanks for them for all their efforts!

Congratulation to all participants, hope we will see you on the next events too!

NALC/EALC event 2023. Mitrov Farm

SAR competition

Somehow it is always the competition where the less participants are, only 5 catahoulas entered at this event...
Our Susanne Gerschel stepped in as Judge to this not so easy competition. We "heard" almost the great works, hard to take pictures ;)
We just hope that more catahoula owner will find this working sector interesting and worth a try, so next event we could welcome new and enthusiastic catahoulas with their handlers.

Here is the result:

I. Anke Boysen - Country Strong's Aquim
II. Jan Englich - Ayra Aranel's Birdie

OBEDIENCE level II.

This event only had the level II for competition.
15 catahoulas entered the ring, very good number of participants!
We saw some very precisely executed task and have learnt a lot from watching others while working. Mr. Winston Beavert judged the pairs, he did not have an easy task.
We got the conclusions and know now, which things needs to be changed for an even better obedience competition :) 👏

Congratulation to all who took part!
Here are the rankings!

Next results from NALC/EALC event from Mitrov 2023 !
One of the competitions on Friday was the Tracking (blood trail).
The day started with level II with 6 dogs. The track had been laid the previous day, early evening. It was about a 16 hours old 400m long track with a piece of game at the end. The challenging track run through one of the back -currently not used that time- pasture at Mitrov farm.
It was not as easy as some think, 4 dogs found.
Tracking level I was in the afternoon with also 6 dogs. Karel took the pairs to the track with a truck, they had to travel in its back, what an adventure 😉 Surely you won’t forget that taxi 😊 5 dogs found on less then 1 hour old track, length cca.250m and of course a piece of wild boar at end.
Everyone was very enthusiastic, especially the dogs for the smell of blood 😉 Many thanks for the judges (Karel Stary and Josef Pancner) for their work and help!
Congratulation to all participants!

Mantrailing ist für den Catahoula ein Riesenspaß. Dabei kann er sich körperlich und geistig auspowern, kann mit seiner Nase arbeiten und sich bewegen. Das ist genau das Richtige für so einen agilen Jagdhund. Wir freuen uns auf den Mantrail-Wettbewerb auf der EALC & NALC Catahoula-Show im September.
Wollt Ihr erleben, was Eure Catahoulas mit ihrer Nase leisten können? – Dann meldet Euch an.
Es gibt zwei Schwierigkeitsstufen. Ihr könnt als Anfänger einsteigen und einfach mal ausprobieren, was Eure Hunde so draufhaben. Oder Ihr seid fortgeschritten und habt Spaß an einem anspruchsvollen Trail… Wir freuen uns auf euch!

Mantrailing is so much fun for Catahoula. He can exercise physically and mentally, work with his nose and move around. This is just the right thing for such an agile hunting dog. We are looking forward to the mantrail competition at the EALC & NALC Catahoula show in September.
Do you want to experience what your Catahoulas are able to do with their nose? - Then sign up.
There are two levels of difficulty. You can start as a beginner and just try out what your dogs can do. Or you are advanced and have fun on a challenging trail... We are looking forward seeing you and your dog!
Just fill out the registration and send it to [email protected].
For registration and the rules of mantrailing click on the links above.

Mantrailing je pro catahoulu velmi zabavný. Může je to zaměstnat fyzicky i mentálně, používat nos a být v pohybu. Je to to pravé pro tohoto aktivního loveckého psa. Těšíme se na soutěž v mantrailingu na EALC/NALC Catahoula Show v září.
Chtete zkusit, jak je catahoula schopná využívat svůj nos? Pak se přihlašte.
Máme dvě úrovně obtížnosti. Můžete začít jako začátečník a jen zkusit, co váš pes dokáže. Nebo jste již pokročilí a chcete si psa vyzkoušet na obtížné stopě... Těšíme se, že vás i vašeho psa uvidíme.

If we need to highlight one of the breed’s strenght, that would be their nose. Tracking is one of the basic built-in skill of the Catahoulas. It worth to try this kind of nosework for beginers too. Some people afraid of trying bloodtrail because it may light their fire on for wildlife. Our experience is if they try it under a controlled situation and we see their behaviour, makes easier in the future to control them in unwanted and also in working moments. Because most Catahoulas could switch on on a weekday walk too, so very useful to control them in time.
Experienced workers can competiting on 2nd level and make their Catahoula so satisfied for a while ☺️
