Asslan v Haus Schiran in Oberschleissheim

Favorite thing: We got an opportunity to visit Oberschleissheim in August of 2004. It was a trip to the German Shepherd Bundessiegerzuchtschau in Karlsruhe with our Asslan v Haus Schiran. It was our sixth trip to Germany with Asslan and I planned that trip with two nights near Munchen to see its sights.
Oberschleissheim attracted my choice because it is close to Munchen.
That’s why we can tell that thank to Asslan we visited Oberschleissheim.
Our visits in many European cities have never happened if our dog Asslan v Haus Schiran and his participating in dog-shows in Germany.

We took Asslan to Munchen for our first excursion and he was with us the whole day. The day before we had a long excursion along Nurnberg and Asslan hurt his legs because he wasn't used for long walks along asfalt pavings. That’s why he was tired at the end of the day and we didn’t take him to Munchen next day leaving him in the hotel in Oberschleissheim.
But we took him in the Oberschleissheim park where he looked very tired.
