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.

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.

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.

Update after a long while

 We are still going strong.
And still staying home sort of. As you probably know we are doing many virtual titles. So we train tricks at home, and put them on video in order to get a working title!

Super many fun. With Lucky I do virtual runs/walks. After his condition in januari I was very scared to do anything with him, and I know the vet approved he can do fitness and running like before, it is sometimes scary.

So we don't do runs, but we do walks/speedwalks instead.
We did the do more with your dog 2 k9 speedwalk, and we did the virtual Grand Canyon, so we had 2 beautfifull medals and a great certificate!

We are now in the middle of a virtual Kruger Park race, and there is still a Bob Ross happy little 5k medal in the mail.

So we are not at the dogshows, but still very active.

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.

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. 

Fitness with Leia day 14

The last day

I hope you liked the video's, and I hope you liked watching what we do on a normal base with our dogs.

All our collies and borzoi are doing those exercises, and not all in order, and not all to get a title, but we like being active with our dogs.

This last one is crawl tunnel,

And I made Leia crawl under 2 chairs, I encouraged her with cookies and praise 

Lots of dogs find it very weird going under something so  this can take a while before they get the hang of it.

Leia also wasn't doing this in 1 practice.

Maybe you get interested in training fitness with your dog aswell, on facebook I have my spark team

Lucky pink paws   you can go there and get more info on getting a fitness title.

It is a lot of fun, and it is really great for bonding with your dog.

I'm very proud that my furry friends are so easy with exercise and video taking.

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


As I'm a new canine fitness coach and a trick dog instructor, I'm working towards titles in both fitness and trick training

Here is Star with her Intermediat tricks

Last saturday we showed Vivien in Leuven, she did pretty nice by gaining an excellent 3 under Belgian judge ms Leona Dams Reynaart.

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.

Borzoi club show very nice for Anna

May 30 was the Anual Dutch Borzoi specialty show in Heteren.
And we had a great succes this year.
Judge was breedspecialist Judit Szanka and we where very happy with an Excellent 2 in championclass.

Later Anna also was awarded best female head of the day. This is the second time she got this award at our Dutch specialty so I was very delighted!!!!

It really was a very cold day, but we made it into a nice one!!!!

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.

Last Sunday we went to Int dogshow Oss, Judge was breedspecialist ms Carol Mulcahy
she awarded Lucky excl. 1 CAC/CACIB and BOB
his sister Star went excl 2
and autie Vivien did marvelous by getting excl 1

And that was not all.
The first time in 2019 for the dreamteam, and they did it.
Under respected Dutch Judge mr Jan Ebels they got Best in Show Brace!!!!
That was so marvelous.

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

Double succes for Star at int. Dogshow Antwerpen

This weekend we went to the double int. dogshow in Antwerpen. And with big succes. On Saturday Star got excellent 1 CAC/CACIB and BOB Antwerp Winner, by Judge ms S Radziuk
And that was her last point to become a Belgian Champion.

But today on Sunday she managed a great excellent 1 CAC/CACIB and BOS Brabo Winner, by Judge mr M De Geeter.

I'm extremely proud that Star managed to get such high rewards 2 days in a row.

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.

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

Another Veteran podium for Dita

Last Sunday november 4th, we went to dogshow Bleiswijk in Hazerswoude-dorp,
We took Lucky and Dita with us.
Lucky is coming back in coat, this summer was awfull for the coats, so I was happy he looked how he looked. And he got an Excellent 3 in championclass.

Dita was so happy and with only 1 month to go before she turns 9 years old, she did a great job by gaining excellent 1 veteran cac, and reserve cac.

The Judge was mr Mats Lindborg from Sweden.

In the mainring she made again a real great show!!!! again from all the veterans she could go on to be 3rt best veteran in show!!! by Judge ms Pamela Runderkamp from the Netherlands

Thank you judges!!!!!
