Super Monkey Tournament 2026
Share
We had our first tournament with Sunny in March. It consisted of 3 days (6-7-8th of March) and was organized in Huijbergen, next to the Belgian border. It was quite a big event with international contenders from many European countries. We had zero expectations about the results, our goal was to get him more experience in running at bigger events.
We had 3 runs on the first day in A1. The first was was a VP where we got disqualified. Not a good start. However on the second run (JP) we got 1st place and the last run (VP) he also ended up winning. He was the only dog who could run without any mistakes. We were not aware yet, but because of this performance we later got invited to participate in the finals Sunday afternoon, where only winners of previous runs could take part.
The second day we also had 3 runs. We got DQ'd once and achieved 1st (JP) and 2nd (VP) place on the other two runs in A1.
Sunday morning we ran 2 parcours, where we got 3rd place (JP) and sadly got DQ'd on the second run (VP). It was at this point that we decided to stay for the finale, as before we weren't sure if it was not going to be too much for him, since it was hirst tournament (and of course, also for us). And how great that we did!
The finale consisted of 1 VP, A1 and A2 combined. Many people were watching and there was even a commentator. More noise, more distractuions. The previous days the results were shared rather quickly, but we had to wait much longer after this run. We assumed that we are going home right afterwards, but then the results came in...
Sunny won 1st place! He was again the only dog to run without any mistakes, in a reasonable time, of course not as fast as some dogs in grade 2. Nevertheless, we brought the Gold home :) Sunny became a champion.
Due to his success we got another surprise the next day in our inbox from Raad van Beheer. Because of his outstanding results were offered to proceed to A2, which we gladly accepted.
