2023
We proudly celebrated our 30th anniversary in Postojna with a special exhibition and international coursing, which together counted for the title of Beauty&Performance Winner. On this occasion, the club magazine Hrti was also published, dedicated to the club’s anniversary and achievements.
Today
The club is one of the most active in Slovenia and Europe, as it organizes both national and international competitions under its auspices: breeding inspections, special CAC exhibitions, national CACL and international CACIL coursings, as well as special special exhibitions.
In recent years, the autumn competition in Beauty and Work has been a regular feature – a combination of Saturday’s special exhibition and Sunday’s CACIL coursing. Every year, the club also organizes spring and autumn breeding inspection.
We also do not neglect social gatherings such as club picnics, lure coursing training sessions and traditional Christmas coursing training and New Year dinner. From time to time, the club also publishes the club magazine HRTI. The activity of the club and its members is also reflected in the annual number of litters of sighthounds in Slovenia and the growing number of members in the club and visitors to our events.
