SOUTHERN COUNTIES CHAMP SHOW RESULTS

.The hottest show of the year (so far) saw our judge Janet Holland (Schojan) make full use indor/outdoor rings that are adjacent to the benching areas seen at a lot of shows these days. The shade was much appreciated by exhibitors and those watching, with only the hardiest sun worshippers sitting outside.It goes without saying hot as it was it was much better than if it had been raining!

Janet found her Best Of Breed in Jenny Bayliss’ home bred cream dog KARMAJEN STAR TROOPER who got there by winning the linit class and then the Dog CC. The Reserve Dog CC went to the Open Dog class winner, and to another cream dog, Melanie Reed-Peck’s BYQUY POLAR PRINCE. Best Puppy made a hatrick of creams with my KOMARGO DANDY WARHOL taking the honours.

It was an all black affair in the final line up for the bitches challenge. CONGRATULATIONS must go to Diane Forknall for making up her bitch by winning her 3rd CC, she will now go by the title CHAMPION AVIDORE FANCY PANTS. Lyra has won all her CC‘s from breed specialists. Her first CC was from Roy Baker, her second from Lesley Wearing. There were whispers around the show ring that it must have been the new kangaroo leather lead with beads that she was sporting from Essenjay Leather Supplies.
The Reserve Bitch CC went to Peter Tricklebanks’ CH CAROZZA MAGDALENA FOR NOCTE being called into the ring afetr coming 2nd in the Open Bitch Class.

A Rose By Any Other Name…

.A new arrival in any home, be it a baby or a new puppy always brings with it the big question… what do we call him/her?

This has happened recently to me. Let me explain…. When someone breeds a litter of puppies, Schipperkes or any other breed for that matter, the question of naming them arises. Now I have called all the Schipperkes I have bred using ‘musical’ terms or connections, as the foundation bitch was called Dancing Queen ( a song by Abba). So consequently litters have been musical terms such as K.Amoroso and K.Appasionata ( lovingly and passionately in misical terminology!) K. Crazy Diamond ( named after Sid Barret from Pink Floyd the inspiration for their song Shine On You Crazy Diamond from the Album Wish You Were Here – still one of my all time favourites!) The exception being K. Black and Bouncy being a singleton his name came from a description of his character more than anything else; he was a big and bouncing baby boy – to use a human analogy.

Meet our newest recruit. K. Dandy Warhol, name chosen because musical connection – the Dandy Warhols being a trendy American band lead singer had a flash of blonde hair (might have changed it now) and his grandfather is American.

We have had a massive debate about his name. Roland was suggested early on and he was referred to as Roland for quite a while amongst the family, but when I finally met him I knew he wasn’t a Roland at all, he was more of a little Dandy which has now been shortened to Danny. So Danny is now settling in with Arnold (border collie) and Rubin and Zeke (belgian shepherd malinois – I am not sure of the plural of malinois)

After we lost George just before Christmas I am happy to say I have my doorbell back, which is good because my daughter keeps thinking I have gone deaf as I cannot hear her knocking at the door when she comes home for lunch; the big dogs ‘know’ it is her and they cannot be bothered to tell me she is at the door.
