November 11, 2007 HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to Sherry and Phil Ruggieri and their Auggie (FC Augden von Moosbach-Zuzelek) who won the 4th Buckeye Dachshund Club Invitational Trial held in Dundee, Ohio. The format of this trial is different from a "regular" AKC trial. Twenty best field trial dachshunds from a previous year are invited to compete in this annual event. They are braced for the 1st and 2nd series. Each brace is judged by two judges who determine which dog loses and which one wins a given brace. After the 2nd series, dogs with two losses are eliminated from the further competition, and remaining dogs get braced again. This process goes on until in the end there is only one brace and the dog winning that brace gets the title of Winner of the Buckeye Dachshund Club Invitational Trial.
Auggie was really hot and did a great job in a tough competition; Sherry did a beautiful job as a handler.  Last year Larry Gohlke's Lolly won the trial, and the first Invitational was won by Auggie's sire Alfi von der Hardt-Hoehe. Results and some pics are posted by Patt Nance at http://www.fieldworthy.com/BuckeyeInvitationa07.html
October 27-28, 2007 Last weekend we had a great reunion of friends and dogs at the New Jersey field trials. Susanne Hamilton came all the way from Maine, and Sherry and Phil Ruggieri were there too. I had a great time in spite of the terrible weather on Saturday. As almost everywhere in the northeast, on Saturday it was pouring buckets. There was so much water on the ground that on several occasions my dogs had to swim to get to the drier grounds. But it was a fantastic day for our dogs. At the Annual trial our Emma (Asta von Moosbach-Zuzelek), handled all day by Susanne, placed 1st in the open bitch stake of 16. Our Bernie (Darin von Moosbach-Zuzelek) at his first field trial ever placed first too in the open male stake of 16. Emma defeated Bernie and was the Best of Open stake. Sherry’s Dixie (FC Anja von Moosbach-Zuzelek) placed 3rd in a stake of 36 field champions!  On Sunday Dixie was NBQ in a bitch field champion stake, and Emma, again handled by Susanne, placed 3rd in stake of 19. Emma's last placement makes her a new field champion! Now she has joined a large group of siblings that are field champions. So far the Alfi/Elli breeding produced field champions: Amy, Attila (Bear), Augden (Auggie), Arlo, Anja (Dixie), Asta (Emma), and Billy.

April 5, 2005 This was a very sad day for both of us as we had to say good bye to our beloved Kuba (FC Zuzelek's Globetrotter). Kuba was diagnosed with Cushings disease in November 2003 at the age of 12 years. He was treated at Cornell Animal Hospital with Trilostane, but in December 2004 the drug stopped working and he deteriorated quickly. Kuba is greatly missed.
