Java SimpleDateFormat Parse Wrong Date

I'm trying to use the parse function of SimpleDateFormat to turn a String into a Date

    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-YYYY");

    String strInput1 = "29-04-2014";
    System.out.println("string 1: " + strInput1);

    Date date1 = new Date();
    try {
        date1 = sdf.parse(strInput1);
    } catch (ParseException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    System.out.println("date 1: " + date1.toString());

    String strInput2 = sdf.format(date1);
    System.out.println("string 2: " +strInput2);

    Date date2 = new Date();
    try {
        date2 = sdf.parse(strInput2);
    } catch (ParseException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    System.out.println("date 2 " + date2);

The output for date1 is Mon Dec 30 00:00:00 GMT 2013, which is then correctly parsed to 30-12-2014.

I assume the mistake is somewhere when sdf is initialized.
