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)
In Geraardsbergen excellent 1 best veteran of the breed and best of breed (judge mr Wulteputte)
Zwolle she got excellent 1 reserve-cac and best veteran of the breed (judge ms Vermeire)

Judy started her Veteran carreer in Zwolle by gaining excellent 1 best veteran of the breed (judge van Veen-Keur)

Lucky has been to Antwerpen and got excellent 2 reserve-CACIB (judge ms Lawless)

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.

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. 

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.

Judy did an online fitness challenge called ob-STAY-cle.

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.

Fitness Champion

 We are super proud to say that Star got her Fitness Championship title

And she is the first rough collie to get awarded this title by Do More With Your Dog.

She needed to complete a list of exercises and we needed to video that, then we could send it in for assesement and after that, she passed.
We are super exited by this new title, as it is very new, so we did not have a lot of video's we could watch from other  people and their dogs

Here are the video's of Star who is now officially a Do more with your dog Fitness Champion!!!

And her pictures, the ribbon is so pretty, and if you like to get the titles yourselve got to the Canine Fitness and Tricktitles page on this website

Fit dog friday Star has level 4

Another fit dog friday,

We are super proud of Star, she made it to level 4 Canine Fitness through do more with your dog.

She is the first rough collie listed on the website of Do more with your dog so that makes us even more proud.
Level 4 had some pretty hard exercises, but when you follow the program which we did, the dog gets really stronger and smarter as time goes on.

Here you see a little filmclip with Star doing the double beam.

She needed to place left paws on the left beam, right paws on the right beam.

It was hard, but it was do-able with lots of treats and a lot of patience.

Also it is very important to place the beams just as far away as is comfortable for the dog.

This was a great training journey for both of us.

Tricks on tuesday, Leia and Star get new titles

I'm so proud!!! Star gained her Advanced trick title and Leia got her Novice.
This was really fun to work on. I got Leia's title really easy as she is ofcourse very young and learning super quick.
We had already worked on basic things because it is important to raise any dog to become a nice companion.
But since the Lockdown we had more time to train and film stuff, so that was pretty easy.

Star's Advanced title was maybe not superhard, but it is advanced for a reason, and we where simultaniesly working on our level 4 fitness.
We needed 5 tricks for Advanced so we chose
Push a taplight, Bow, Walk Backwards, Chinrest and sidestepping through a ladder with back legs.

Here is a little video of her advanced tricks

We have loads of fun training and it keeps us occupied with our dogs, patiently waiting for new dogshows to come.

Happy Easter

A happy easter from Glamourace Collies!!!!
This week a few of these hearts where placed in and around the area where we live.
So we liked to get a simple picture with our dogs posing with one of those hearts.
It says care for each other, and in this time we should

Stay home,
Stay safe
Happy Easter

Emmy, Star, Scarlett, Lucky, Leia

Judy, Dita, Vivien, Anna 

Star Intermediat Trick dog title

We don't have dogshows going on I think almost globally, so here at Glamourace Collies we are trying to keep our dogs occupied

Super show weekend in Malsch Germany

We had a brilliant weekend in Malsch Germany, We started it of on saturday with a seminar on the collie standard

The seminar was given by Krista Nelson Hansen ( Camlach collies) and Mary Benedict (Long Acre collies)  from the US.
It was a very nice seminar and again I got new insights, and despite the language barrier of German and English, I did manage to give the right anwer to a paricular question about soft expression. ( my English is pretty ok, but with hearing so much German around me I was shut down or some...thing)

Then sunday we had the EuropaSieger Show Judge Breedspecialist  by ms Mary Benedict (Long Acre collies)
Judy was Excellent 1 CACIB Winners Bitch and has for the second year in a row the title Europa Siegerin
Star was Excellent 1 CACIB
Lucky was Excellent 2 res-CACIB
Scarlett was Excellent 2 res-CACIB
Braceclass 2nd place


This was also the very last show for Scarlett as she is now offically retired from the showring.
We had a great time showing her but we think that is is best to stop now.
We had loads of fun and so many thanks to all the people who where loving our dogs. I really was so surprised that so many people knew Judy and came to our setup and get to know our dogs.
