Update

 Again a long delayed update

Since Scarlett's passing we did a couple of cool things.

Anna got Belgian veteran champion, and Judy got her first points towards the Belgian veteran title aswell

We went to Antwerpen in the beginning of April
Judy gained excellent 1 best veteran of the breed and Best opposite from judge mr K Young (UK)
Anna gained excellent 1 best veteran of the breed from judge Mrs M Vermeire (BE)

We have been showing in the easter weekend for a full 3 days

Saturday began in Goes with Judy gaining Excellent 1 res-CAC from Mr Beare (Irl)
Sunday we had a younsters and veteran show in Herent Belgium where Judy got Excellent 1 best veteran of the breed and 3rd best veteran of FCI group 1
Anna became exellent 1 best opposite and best veteran of the breed and best veteran of FCI group 10 from mr J Decuyper (BE)
And then on monday we drove back again to Goes where Anna was shown exellent 1 best veteran of the breed by Mrs Beare (Irl)

At the moment Star is working towards several trick and animal acting titles, so we hope to have great news soon from her.

Also I try to make up a nice website of our Glamourace Collies alongside this blog, but it is still in the making.

Sadly no pictures as our memory card is damaged and all taken pictures are gone.

Very Very long delay in updates

 I'm so sorry for the very long delay in updating.

I think I said it a before, but I will try to get some news on this page more often.

We had loads of things going on.

I will start with Vivien, she became Dutch Champion, Dutch Veteran Champion and Belgium Veteran Champion at the end of 2021, we are very proud of these resuls.

Anna became a Veteran Champion in the Netherlands aswell. And she became one of the first dogs to win a Grand Champion title in the Netherlands
This is a title that is awarded to dogs who got a Junior title and a Dutch Champion title and a Veteran title
The Grand Champion is introduced in 2021 so we are really exited Anna is one of the first dogs to get it.

Judy managed to get her Dutch Champion title and her Dutch veteran title in februari this year, so that was an amazing result to start the year with.

We did a lot of trick training, and all of our dogs now earned 1 or more tricktitles to their names.
Star even got her level 1 in animal acting.

We also had sad news.
Februari 4th we celebrated Scarlett's birthday with cake! 1 week later she got her Summer Scavenger hunt trick title, and 2 weeks after getting her great title (february 25th)  she died of old age.
We are ofcoarse very sad, but we also know she had a great life. 

We are so gratefull that Irene Snow of Cornerstone collies let her life with us, she was a wonderful companion, a great friend, a nice mom, an even better grandma, an amazing kids lover and so much more.

Delayed update with loads of happy news

 Finally finally,

it seems facebook is an easier way to just quickly share the news of shows, however, I tend to display a lot on my personal facebook, and I do not accept everyone on it.

So here a long delayed update,

Shows are gradually making it's way into our lives, and we are super blessed to be in the position to make a lot of them.

Here some awsome results by Vivien
She gained excellent 1 best veteran of the breed, and best of breed, in Itteren and best veteran in Show (judge Puts and Marijnisen)
In Geraardsbergen she got Excellent 1 best veteran of the breed, and best of breed (judge mr Wulteputte)
In Antwerpen she got excellent 1 best veteran of the breed and selected in the mainring with the last 6 (judge ms Lawless and mr Vandenbosch)
In Gorinchem she got excellent 1 best veteran of the breed (judge ms Ricky Lochs-Romans)
And yesterday in Genk, she did an amazing job by getting another excellent 1 best veteran of the breed and in the mainring, on the podium getting BIS2 veteran (judge ms Kelveri-Phillipou and ms Vivianne Boesmans)

She is now Dutch veteran Champion, and Dutch Champion!!!!

Anna also went to some shows
In Itteren she became excl 1 Best veteran of the breed and best of breed BIG, and BIS3!!! (Judges ms Marijnissen and in the mainring all attending judges)

And Star has now been showed twice, 
She gained excellent 1 CACIB in Antwerpen (judge ms Lawless)
And in Genk she gained excellent 1 res-CACIB (Judge ms Kelveri-Phillipou)

Also we had a great braceclass selection in Antwerpen, even though Lucky was in love with Star who was in season (and I tought I would manage with only a spray under Star's tail) they got selected within the last 6 braces in show.

First CAC show in 2021 with great results

 Finally after 10 months, we had a dogshow! Outdoor Zeeland And finally a show update on the webpage!

We did super.

Anna was shown on saturday exl 1 veteran-cac

judged by mr Jos De Cuyper

And sunday we showed Leia and Vivien.

I was terribly nervous because Leia has been only shown 3/4? times. ( she had hardly any training at all)

She did amazing getting exl 1 res-cac

And Vivien wow, exl 1 CAC veteran-cac and BOB!!!

just a few days shy of her 9th birthday, and she really blew my mind,

Thanks to judge mr Hans van den Berg

Super nice athmosphere at the dogshow, superfriendly people at the organisation, I'm so happy to be in the ring again.

Update after a long while

 We are still going strong.
And still staying home sort of. As you probably know we are doing many virtual titles. So we train tricks at home, and put them on video in order to get a working title!

Super many fun. With Lucky I do virtual runs/walks. After his condition in januari I was very scared to do anything with him, and I know the vet approved he can do fitness and running like before, it is sometimes scary.

So we don't do runs, but we do walks/speedwalks instead.
We did the do more with your dog 2 k9 speedwalk, and we did the virtual Grand Canyon, so we had 2 beautfifull medals and a great certificate!

We are now in the middle of a virtual Kruger Park race, and there is still a Bob Ross happy little 5k medal in the mail.

So we are not at the dogshows, but still very active.

Star's new trick titles

 We have been pretty silent over here, well, no shows, is not so much news. We are as always pretty active with training and such.

As I'm a tricktrainer (now All Star of the year) I do have to make inspirational video's, so we have been doing an Alphabet trick challenge, and a 20 tricks with 1 prop.

With the ABC we needed to come up with a trick for every letter of the alphabet, and for the 1 prop 20 tricks, we choose to do 20 tricks with cavaletti's

We had super much fun, and ofcourse I'm still training with Anna, my goal is that she will have a trick title too!

Here's Stars prop challenge video!

And for everyone who is curious about the health of Lucky and Scarlett, they both are doing great, both are living their life as if nothing happened, so we are super glad about that. 

Our borzoi Anna is training for a trick title

 So we are still in Lockdown, stuff is getting more boring every single day. However we still try to do fun stuff. All our collies have a trick title now, and Anna doesn't have one.

Borzois are not easy to train, they are super smart, only they will work if they think there is some personal gain.

We started a youtube vlog and an instagram page for Anna, because that will keep me accountable, people know me for training collies, and I did have many successes with the collies, and now I like to train with Anna.

You can follow her on instagram https://www.instagram.com/barsoi_anna/

And I have her vlog on youtube, her first video is up today!!
