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

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.

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!!

Show update!!!!! Heteren, Teteringen and Maastricht

 Finally we had some dogshows!

Last week we had the Borzoi championship show, and we showed Anna, in championclass, she gained an excellent 3 from judge ms Regina Tromp-Pruijn

One day later we had a very small outdoor clubshow

We entered Leia and Anna.

Ofcourse it was a little bit exiting doing shows in Corona time, but it went all well, everyone wearing masks and a lot of space

Leia was entered in Juniorclass and got excellent 1 BOS!!!!! And that for her first show in juniors, Anna did even better by getting excellent 1 BOB, and later on BIG2, Thanks to judge mr Jan Coppens.

And then yesterday we had International dogshow Maastricht.

All corona proof, temperature check at the door, we all wore masks our judge a face shield. We where not allowed entering to early and we had to be out of the building after judging and a bit of shopping (If needed)
We had a few talks but not to much, we made sure our dogs where ok and be as short time as possible in the building. I do think dogshow Maastricht did a very amazing job organizing this event!

This was for Leia the first time on a big show in junior class, and as it looks now, it is possibly the last one in a big building for a long while.

Leia got Excellent 2 in junior class.
Vivien was also entered, for the first time in Veteran class, and oh my, she did a super job, she actually outmoved all the other dogs, she performed beautifull.
She got rewarden Excellent 1 Best Veteran of the Breed and has her first veteran championship point

Judge was Ms Roel van Veen-Keur.

I was so happy to be in the ring again, and so where the dogs. 

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

Altough this was my least favourite showsite ever, I'm very content with the results we got.

Hond van het Jaar 2018

A little late update, but I needed to wait for the pictures and we did a lot of showing in januari.
It started januari 13th.
Anna won the Borzoi Specialty in 2018 so she was invited to Hond van het jaar 2018.
It is a very special show with dogs going on a runway instead of a normal breed ring. The dogs are judged against group competitors.
To be on this show is very special and we did not make the selection, but we where really exited to be there.

Enjoy the pictures

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.
