Dita wins on Christmas show

Yesterday december 22 we went to Venray for the Christmas show. We entered Lucky, Star and Dita and we did great again.
Lucky got excellent 2, Star excellent 1 and Dita topped it of, with excellent 1 CAC best Veteran and Best of Breed, we are so proud she did it, with her age of 9 years she just beat all the youngsters.

Dita moved super in the breedring, but even after the veteran ring she did not get tired a bit after going in the mainring again for the groups.
Our Judge was mr Dick Rutten and we are very happy with our results.

See you all next year in the rings again

Amsterdam Winner 2018

We went to the Amsterdam Winner december 16th. The last one ever to be held in the RAI centre.
We only entered Anna and I'm glad because when our judging finished Collies where almost done also and I would never made it to the other end of the halls.

Mark Coccoza from the UK was judging and Anna did nice by getting an excellent 2 in a strong champion class.
We are very pleased with this result and we will be back with Anna on the runway at the "Hond van het jaar 2018" show in Amersfoort next year.

Throwback Thursday, WDS 2010

The World dog show in Amsterdam is over now for over a month,  and I started thinking of the first time I ever traveled to a World dog show.
It was held in Herning Denmark in 2010.
I never had the idea of having a change to be on such a big show, but I really wanted to go to a show like that, if it was only so I could say "I went to a worldshow ones"

So there we went. In a stationcar, we didn't have our mobile home back then, a little tent and 2 dogs.
Star (nr 1) and Scarlett. Where we lucky that the wheater was so nice, we never tought of rain, we just went to Denmark with showstuff a tent and the dogs.
We drove by evening and night and came to the place of Ry in the middle of the night, so we decided it was not a great plan to go set up the tent, and we just slept in the car. Besides a beautifull lake just a little driving from the show.
Next morning we where really hurt and sore ofcourse, sleeping in a car is not the best thing to do.
But it was really a beautifull place to wake up and walk the dogs.

 Our judge for the girls was Ulla Berg Person, and Scarlett went on for excellent, and Star became placed second. That was pretty cool, we never had the idea we could stand any change against the other dogs. And also that we came across so many nice people with great looking dogs, those big shows are great for meating new people.
At the end of the day all nrs 1 and 2 of all classes where to come back in the ring, and Star got the grade of 4th best of the show. I still don't get that system, but I was happy.


When judging was over we drove to Herning where all the real action would take place.
We came there on the campsite and first we did was setting up our tent. That was a big pain in the bud, because the dogs where happy and being active and that is not very handy when you are not the best person when putting up a tent. We made it, and afterwards we walked the dogs, as soon as we came back we went to sleep. I don't think I ever have been soo tired in my whole life.

Next morning everything was wet...... there was this amazing fog, so clothes where wet, the dogs, well there was nothing dry anymore, so that was a strange start of the day. We got a quick as we could to the showcentre so we could dry ourselves and the stuff, But that for was amazing for the dogs, they looked wonderfull with their moist coat.

I never saw such an amazing show hall, it was big and a lot of space, and there where grooming areas where you could set up your stuff. I was so short in the sport that I still was a little afraid of big names of kennels and handlers, and I saw that championclass was the first class to come up.

 And there I was with Star, and all the collies with the big names in this class. The judge was mr Thomas Rolin, and he awarded Star with an excellent 1!!!!!! OMG she won championclass, I was over the moon, she just beat some dogs with the big names.
And after a long wait it was time for Scarlett, the group was about 30 so it had to be split up.
Scarlett was then in youthclass, and still from time to time very jumpy, but she did great. And in the end she got excellent and was within the last 6 in the line up.

It was a very long wait again for Star to go in the ring again for CACIB, she didn't make it, but that was ok. There where so many beautifull dogs, that I was superproud of what we achieved, we where there Herning 2010 we did it, and had fun.
We made alot of new friends on that show, and we learned alot about our breed, for me most of the WDS shows are for the social event, talking about the breed, meeting new people.


 So that was a part of my WDS story, I will try and make more of these, because we did so many shows and I have so many nice memories.

Seminars at American collie club germany

We find that education is very important, even if we did a lot of seminars and workshops, there is always something new to learn.
Last week a day before the specialty show in Germany we got the opportunity to go to 3 seminars in one day.

I think for me the first and last where the most important.
The first one was by dr Vet. David Hansen from the USA, he has his own vet, dentist clinic. And the lecture was about teeth developtment, and teeth care, again it made me realize how important it is to brush the teeth of the dogs.  You can prevent so many nasty problems as heart failure or kidney failure just to name some.

Later that day we had a handling seminar, I know a lot about handling but even I learned new stuff. And it was pretty nice I got to be the person to demo the showprocedure with a strange dog, so that was a nice challenge for me too.

The end of the day we enjoyed company with some nice food, and we had a lecture on raising puppies. Given by ms Krista Hansen USA.
I know we do alot with our puppies to comfort them and making sure they are stabile and happy when they move to their new owners, but this was also very entertaining and we learned so much.

It is amazingly tiring to participate in all 3 seminars but I'm happy that I got the change to do them.
Even when you sometimes think you don't learn, you probably will always learn something.

Judy wins Collie specialty in Malsch

What a weekend, I will post more on the seminars later, but first I like to brag about some great results.
We had a specialty show by the American collie club in Germany last Sunday and we had a blast.

Judge was ms Krista Hansen from the USA (Camloch collies)
I had entered 4 collies this time,

Judy in open, Star in Champion, Lucky in Ehrenclasse (for champions and int. champions) and Dita in veteran class.

This was a non FCI show so all nr 1 got CACIB,
I was very pleased that Star got a CACIB, Lucky did also get a CACIB and Judy aswell.

Dita became 2nd in veteran class.

But the best thing to happen was that Judy gained
an excl 1 CACIB, Europasiegerin, Best of Breed and then going Best in Specialty show!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was so amazed.

I was so proud with the great words the Judge shared on my girl, she loved her head, and proportions, beautifull sound body with smooth movement. Excellent coat condition.

For me it was so beautifull to hear these words from a breedspecialist
We are still on a cloud.

Also the dreamteam showed their best by becoming best brace!!!!

Enjoy the pictures.

Later I will post some more on the excellent seminars I went to on the Saturday before the show.

Benelux Winner show and World dog show for team Glamourace Collies

I know the World Winner Dogshow Amsterdam is already 2 weeks ago, but I wanted to wait with my post until I was able to buy the pictures I wanted to share.
Two pictures are made by a photographer who I'm not able to contact, so If you read this, contact me, and I will pay for the pictures right away

Now over to the show.
The theme of the World Winner show was, Show the World your Talent.
And we showed them!!!
The judges on all 3 days where looking for a different type then what we have so no big points and titles.
But we are super glad to say that our Dita gained her 14th!!!! Title, she became Benelux Veteran Winner, and we are very proud on that achievement. She also beat the male to become Best Veteran of the Breed also.

Our beautifull blue Dream Team was entered in Braceclass on both World dog show and Benelux Winner show.
On the Benelux Winner show where 62 braces present in the mainring and Judge ms Anita Giellisse picked them out to be 4th Best Brace in Show!!!!!!
This was something so amazing, I never saw so many braces in one big ring.
We had so much fun as we where in prejudging ring for almost more than 2 hours, I shared supernice conversation and Star and Lucky where so happy and relaxed.
I'm absolutely so proud they where so sweet while they had to wait in a crowded area before entering the big ring and then shine like they never did before.

Those big shows are so nice for making new friends and talking to long time friends from far away
I was super happy with all the nice comments and big encouragement from  around the rings about my team.

Videos of the Brace class will come soon, first enjoy the pictures!!!


Waiting for pre-judging takes long, but we share love, hugs and coockies



Thanks Kynoweb and Anita Giellisse!!!!!
