Sioux Valley Kennel Club Saturday & Sunday

HAVANESE


AM GCH CAN CH ADORABULL THAT'S BETTER THAN SEX...ROCHÉ
       Roché had a pretty descent weekend in Le Mars.  Best of Breed both days under Judges Janice Mercer and Barbara Dempsey Alderman, and a Thank You for the Group 2 under Judge Barbara Dempsey Alderman.

LIL SCAMPS PRINCESS IN PEARLS...PEARL
         Pearl showed her normal fabulous self and won Winners Bitch both Saturday and Sunday, picking up a couple of more points under Judges Janice Mercer and Barbara Dempsey Alderman.  These blonde Desi girls are just beautiful and have attitude but honestly we are looking forward to bring out a few different color combinations soon.  


BICHONS FRISES
Thanks to Judges Jon Cole and Barbara Dempsey Alderman.


Showing Bichons this weekend was more of a rodeo than anything else.  We had 6 to groom and show, 3 had never been shown before.  What an embarrassing riot!  Three of the class boys had a less than desirable amount of coat but Thomas, the  6-9 Puppy was totally adorable and showed like a champ.  He is well on his way now winning two majors his first two days in the show ring.  


LITTLE LOVE CALLED THOMAS...THOMAS
     Thomas' name fits him well.  He is a little love and was born to show.  Winners Dog for 2 majors at his first 2 shows.  .


THAT'S CHILLEYKINGS COMIC HERO...ARCHIE
     Archie was in his first show as a puppy but hasn't been back since.  His performance was acceptable, winning his class and Reserve Winners Dog on Sunday.


CHILLEKINGS THAT'S A LITTLE TWISTED...NURPLE
     Nurple wasn't totally horrible for his first shows.  On Saturday he won Reserve Winners Dog.  


YOSHI'S MR. CHANLER...CHANLER
     Chanler was definitely a challenge.  On Saturday he walked around the ring with his head down and tail down and rigormortis set in on the table.  We worked a lot more on Saturday afternoon and evening so he actually had almost a normal gait on Sunday with his head up and was more relaxed on the table.  Chanler is becoming more comfortable so by the time he is in full show coat, his brain should be too!


YOSHI'S BLOOMING WHITE 'CAMILLIA'...CAMILLIA
     NEW CHAMPION !!!   The lovely flower, Miss Camillia, was her normal beautiful self, winning over the judges hearts for Best of Winners and Best of Opposite, winning two majors this weekend and finishing her AKC Championship.  She is so sweet and pretty, and a real snuggler too!  I just want to keep her here until we can make another run to Canada to finish her Canadian Championship, where she is already pointed.  I imagine that she will go home soon as she has been greatly missed there.


CH THAT'S A ROYAL VELVET TUNIA WAVE...TUNIA
     We were hoping to finish Tunia's Grand Championship this weekend but it was not to be.  Saturday he was in a mood and was awarded Select Dog, and on Sunday, he was in a worse mood (maybe it was all the rain and cold).  I was really hoping that he would take the breed at least one day.  I really had the feeling that Mrs. Alderman liked him, but at the last minute, he dropped his tail, while the other specials didn't move a muscle.  So we went home with another Select.  Oh, well, we will try again next week.  


Thought for the day:   Why do the show or venue personnel take away all of the trash receptacles right after BIS?  We would gladly use them up to the last minute if they were available.
