HAVANESE FANCIERS OF CANADA NATIONAL SPECIALTY, Saturday, August 16, 2014

We were so thrilled with winning the Regional, we were almost afraid to show at the National.
It was a full day.  Starting at 8:30 with the HFC Puppy Sweeps, followed by the Breeder Sweeps.
Then there were some really nice veteran's in the Veteran's Sweeps.  That was immediately followed by the conformation competition for Nationals.  When that competition was complete, we went immediately to the Toy-Breed Puppy Sweepstakes for the Prairie Toy Specialty.  When that was over, we headed outside to the Havanese Breed ring for the MCA All-Breed Show.  We then had about 30 minutes to prepare for the Havanese Breed ring for the Prairie Toy Specialty.  After that it was back outside to the Group Ring for the All-Breed show. Whew!!! I'm tired just typing that, and we did it in 90+ degree heat.  The building was hotter than outside as outside we at least had a bit of a breeze.

So our results of the Havanese Fanciers of Canada 2014 National Specialty…
Drumroll please……………

EAST ST. PAUL, MANITOBA, CANADA
JUDGE MARIBEL SY

Bragging Notes:
Keisha was Winners Bitch at the 2011 Havanese Club of America National Specialty under Judge James Reynolds.

Truly won her class in Puppy Sweeps at the 2014 HCA Nationals, under Judge Elaine Cirimelle.

Zeus was Best Puppy in Show at the 2010 HFC Nationals under Judge Ekaterina Senashenko and Select Dog at the 2013 HFC Nationals under Judge Lee Steeves. 

Selena was Best of Breed at the 2013 HCA Nationals under Judge Dr. Robert Smith, Best of Opposite at the 2013 HFC Nationals under Judge Lee Steeves, (where her father, Desi, was Best of Breed for his 3rd National Specialty win!)

Desi - BIS MBISS AM GCH CAN CH Gingerbred Yukon Jack Desiderio is Selena, Zeus, and Keisha's sire.  He is Truly's Grandsire.

Boo - CH That's Right Out of the Box is their dam.  Owned by our fabulous friend Jane Chavez, Boo was bred and co-owned by us, co-bred with Grace Westerson.

Truly is out of the Multiple Group Placing Desi son, Mason - GCH That's the Notorious Defender, owned by Connie Rousch, and Panda - CH That Is Nirvana's Panda, owned by Ruth Francis-Floyd.  All bred or co-bred by us. 

That's all I can think of for now.  
I hope I didn't leave anyone out. 

Will post the HFC Nationals Results later.

BICHON FRISE
Nurple - Not shown due to conflict with Havanese

Manitoba Canine Association, Thursday August 14, 2014

Well, we finally made it to East Saint Paul, Manitoba (Winnipeg suburb) at 2:30 AM Thursday morning.  Still had 6 Havanese and 1 Bichon to groom.  It's always something when it's the first trip in a new vehicle.  LONG story so will save that for later.

Our phones don't work in Canada and were too far from town to walk to find a Timmy's for wifi, so were incommunicado from Wednesday night through Monday.  Dave's phone stayed in Canada so he was off the grid until afternoon when we stopped to get him a new phone and transfer his service over.

We were hoping that Nurple wouldn't need a bath before the ring.  He still looked great from his Group 1 the Sunday before, and that would save some time.  That was until we stopped to potty dogs along the way and thought "the gravel here looks good."  Famous last words.  We put up the pens, put the dogs out and I no sooner turned my back to scoop some poop and he dug the gravel out and was rolling in the gray dust and muck that was on the plastic groundcover under the river rock!  So much for keeping him clean. - or we could have went with a 'new style' - the silver Bichon!

So 2 hours of sleep and much grooming later:

We copied the results off of the tear sheets, so I need to confirm the Selena and Zeus placements, but I think that's how it went.  I know that Porter (Meg x DSL) was Winners Male.

Winnipeg in the summer 90 degrees and HUMID, who knew?
The electric hook-up for the motorhome wasn't cheap and was only 15 amp, so wouldn't even run one of our air conditioners, so we ended up running the generator all day.  It cooled enough most nights to turn it off then, so that helped $$ a bit.

Only one show on Thursday.  2 on Friday.  3 shows, plus 3 sweepstakes on Saturday. 1 show on Sunday.

Time to half-hearted offer to help Dave groom for the Toy Specialty this afternoon.  Wish us luck!  More results to follow!
