Fountains in Fryslân

Last week was Harlingen, this week is Workum

This one is called "de Woeste Leeuwen van Workum" 

Personally, from the pictures I found this one not really pretty, to be honoust I tought he is hideous.

But in real life, well ok, not my favourite, but not that ugly as I thought from the pictures

It is really a high one and the water will come out at different speeds, from their paws.

Workum is a coast city so like Harlingen it was very very windy, and that made the water of fountain blowing on our backs.

I don't think Leia was impressed by this huge masterpiece, she was more interested in her cookies.

Pupdate week 1

The puppies of Emmy are today 7 days so here is the first pupdate!! Sadly last Friday we lost our tiny boy Ukkie, he was just way to small to survive, we did our utmost best but we could not get him to gain weight, it was terrible but it is how it sometimes goes.

But there is alot of happy news!!!! The pups are groing great and Emmy is doing an amazing job being a mommy. She now spends some time outside the whelping box but if one of her babies makes a tiny squeek she will jump in the whelping box and start nursing.

We already clipped their tiny nails for the first time, as we do not want them to hurt Emmy while they drink. On day 3 we started with Early Neurolocical Stimulation witch will help get puppies to recover quickly from stress, get better cardiovasculair system, stronger heartbeats and so on.
They will get a lot of daily attention and are very satisfied.

The official names need to be confirmed by the Dutch Kennelclub Raad van Beheer so I just put here their petnames as they are at the moment.

I'm keeping the girl Leia here at Glamourace Collies, but 2 boys do like a nice forever home.

Here are a huge amount of pictures for you to enjoy

Lucky BOB in Neckarsulm

Last Sunday we went to Germany, Neckarsulm this time to show at a britisch sheepdog special show.

Dita, Star and Lucky where entered.
We did again a great job with Star getting Exl 1 CAC/VDH
Dita placed 1 (veterans don't get graded excl or vg) veteran point and BOS
And again Lucky was the lucky one he gained Exl 1 CAC/VDH and BOB!!!!!!

Judge was ms Edy Dykstra-Blum (USA)

It was a lovely day with nice conversation we had load of fun.
This was probably the last show this year in Germany, we now take a short showbreak, to lett the dogs get into full coat again.

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!!!!!

picture credits ??? please contact me I will pay you

Studio pictures by Karl Donvil

Whenever I get the change at dogshow I try to make it to Karl Donvil's mobile photostudio,
In Liège Belgium Dita did win best veteran of the breed, so I took the advantage to go there.
I Always love how Karl manages to capture my love for the dogs.

In future I hope to go to his studio many more times!!!!
For now enjoy the pictures

 

 

 

Hond van het jaar 2017

Last Sunday we where at the Hond van het jaar show 2017! Last year Star won her qualification by winning best of breed at the club special.

Finally Sunday was the day, we had huge fun and Star showed beautifully, we are well aware of the fact that it can be a show we never get a qualification for again so we enjoyed all moments of it.
(But we ofcourse going to try to get another turn for this great show)
