It is showtime again in Smederevo! And do you know what that means?

That means that our Hive account@ladyjas is again with us bringing new toy for gathering championship titles! Here they are, two beauties in the walk across the main square of Smederevo…

Let’s take a moment to remember the previous great champion that our Hive account@ladyjas walk to harvest titles. It was a beautiful black medium sized poodle Zara (Aux Yeux Noirs Amaya Zara):

And now let’s introduce the new champion – her name is Sofia (Zhemchuzhina Sibiri to be Queen) and she belongs to the mini-poodles, labeled as – toys! I have to admit, she looks like a mini-Zara 😁 Let’s check out a few more city poses before we go for the number:

You know that moment when you realize that everyone around you is bigger and more dangerous, so you seek cover behind your mom?

Fortunately this did not last long. Let’s take a look at the official opening of the International and Specialty Dog Shows in Smederevo, August 12th, Anno Domini 2023. On stage are the judges, Secretary General of the Cynology Association of the Republic of Serbia, Mahmud al-Daghistani and the welcome of the Mayor of Smederevo, Jovan Beč…

The number 320 means that Sofia’s performance will be near the end, which has both good and bad sides. The bad thing is that we will have to wait a long time, and the good thing is – that we will have a lot of time to beautify.

In the meantime, we will be able to take a look at the other contestants, among whom there are many interesting gentlemen and ambitious contestants…

This is a beauty contest after all, not a race contest. We will rather relax in hairdressing until the performance…

And now to see what a big international exhibition really means, on the example of Mr. Tati with the mustache.

Mr. Tati is a wire-haired miniature dachshund of German origin, but he was named after the famous French screenwriter, actor and director Jacques Tati. His owner is Aleksandar Čajić from Serbia, his guide was the Polish lady Agata Owczarska, and the title was awarded to him by the judge from Croatia, Ante Lučin! Congratulations!

And finally, close to midnight, the championship number 320 was called! Now let’s show ’em how titles are won…

The title of Serbian champion arrived this morning, and now we also have international titles! We just have to wait for the distribution of the Cups – which are actually golden in color, but because of the reflection of the grass they look green – so that we can end this beautiful day victoriously!

And the titles are finally ours! More than deserved! It's long past midnight…

And you, dear visitors, have earned a champion wallpaper for your smartphone with your patience!

See you at the next Championship Title!
