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

Quick update

 No updates is such a long time.

I'm so sorry.

We are doing great here at Glamourace Collies.

Tricks and Fitness are now our current main goals.

We did participate in some online dog shows and Lucky gained a Best of Breed that way, but it is not the real deal.

Scarlett had a pyometra so 15 days ago she had surgery, but all is looking fab.

She is happy and healty again.

Since we went into this corona period, Star gained level 3, and 4 in Canine fitness, and Canine Fitness Champion, she is the first rough collie Ever!! to get this title.

She also gained her advanced and expert trick title.

Emmy, Vivien and Scarlett!!!!! gained their novice trick titles.

Leia got Fitness level 1, and trickdog novice and intermediat.

Emmy won in a photocontest!

Leia was nr 1 in the competition "Mooiste hond van Nederland 2020" for our area Sudwest-Fryslân.

We cannot wait for things to go more normal and to be in the showring again, but for now we are trying to keep happy and healthy and just do lots of fun training.

Anna Best in Show at Belgium Specialty

A loooonnngggg delay in updating on the website again, sorry for that, but what a beautifull day did we have september 22  at the borzoi specialty show in Belgium.

I havent been showing Anna in ages, I think her last time was at the Dutch specialty in may.
And now under breedspecialist judge mr Pierre Renard from France Anna won Best in Show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so happy and proud and exited that we did this, last year the specialty in the Netherlands and then now in Belgium is really a dream come true!!!

Thanks to judge mr Renard (Balalaika's borzoi)  for the reward he gave to Anna!!!

Junior handling @ Kynospirit

I almost forgot to mention that my nephew partcipated in junior handling a few weeks ago.
We went to a fun match at Kynospirit and I did not show a collie myself, he could show Scarlett because that is his favourite dog.

We did train with Scarlett, but she is our oldest so the main training we did was with Judy and Lucky, I think he did a great job.

 

 

At the show he showed Scarlett in the breedring to Best of Breed and best veteran, normally there are not many collies at fun matches but here he had a strong competition, so that was awsome.

He also became best junior handler in show and I let him show the ring of honour for veterans and FCI group 1.

We are superproud that he did all this, Thank you all judges who saw the quality of Scarlett and the handling skills of Damon

 

 

 

Oh and btw I did win with Anna Best of Breed, and Best in group, and became best handler in show!!!!

Dogshow Lommel double succes

Last weekend we went showing in Lommel Belgium, it was terribly hot but luckily the show facility was cool enough to be comfortable for dogs and humans

We had Judge ms Valerie Degeeter from Belgium, and we where very happy that Lucky got excl 1 CAC and BOB and Vivien got Excl 1 CAC and BOS

So this was Vivien's 3rd CAC in Belgium!!!!
Hopefully we will manage her last point also, but our main pryority will be the upcoming litter in july, so at first we will not have a lot of shows planned out.

Dogshow Oss huge succes

I'm a bit behind with my updates but it was a very busy week.
Last Sunday we showed, then Monday we had to take the ultrasonic with Emmy confirming pregnancy, then Thursday it was showing again and now this Sunday also.
And then tomorrow we will go see the specialist for the brace on Dita's leg. So not much time to update the website. But I promise all will be posted because it was a happy week.

That was so marvelous.

It was also the first cacib show for Lucky to enter this whole year and I think he did amazing.

Dita Benelux Veteran Winner

We where very busy campaigning Emmy for the competition "mooiste hond van Nederland" so I didn't do an update on the website.
But in the first weekend of march we went to the Benelux Winner show in Groningen and we did super.

I entered Vivien after a long absence from the showring and she did very well by getting excellent 2 in openclass.
Dita was again in Veteranclass and she nailed it, excellent 1 and again a veteran Best of Breed.
And the titel Benelux Veteran Winner to go next to her name!!!!

Thanks Judge mr Jan Ebels to make this possible, i'm proud of my kids.

And I must not forget Emmy, she got the second place in the competition in my region.
So the campaingning was not all for nothing.
