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
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)

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

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.

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

At the moment we are still at home, as almost everyone on the globe, and we are working alot on tricks as you could see in our previous posts.

I'd like for the time being, to post video's of various tricks that we trained with our dogs.
And share some information on how I trained my dog the trick.

First one is touch target stick,
I don't have a real target stick, so I use a ball wanger.
The point is that they touch the end of the stick with their nose.

How to do this, ofcourse there are several ways but I tought it like this
I make sure I have a clicker and loads of treats ready.
The moment the dog takes interest in the stick I click, I suggest to hold the stick with the handle pretty short. After a few repetitions of taking interest, try to wait out that the dog does not only take interest, but wil touch it with his nose.
This should not be too hard to do.
When they are touching the stick almost every time, I would hold the stick out with the handle a bit longer.
After a while that should go great too, and I would put the behaviour on cue.
I say "touch" then I present the stick, and when your dog touches the stick, click and treat.

And there you have it. You teached your dog a cool trick, this trick could come in handy if you want to teach your dog spin circles or other cool tricks aswell.

Fitness title for Scarlett

It is a while back now, but we have been working a lot on tricks and fitness in the last few months. I always wanted to try something out with my older dogs, and since Dita has her leg injury I didn't want to put a lot of extra stress on her joints.
So I started doing fit-tricks with Scarlett.
I absolutely do fitness with Dita but not all the fit-tricks that are needed for a title.

So we worked for a month on all the things we needed to gain a title Canine Conditioning Fitness and we did great.
Scarlett gained her fitness title 1 month before her 11th birthday. I'm so proud that her body is still able to do this and she is so happy when she performs.

Look how proud Scarlett is with her medal 

Working on Novice tricktitle with Emmy

As we are in a intelligent Lockdown (that is how our gouverment calls it) we are working on a Novice trick title for Emmy

For a title you need 15 tricks and we have loads of time training them.

I'm also giving online lessons on tricktraining with Emmy as my demo dog.
If you like to join you can go to Lucky Pink Paws Trick Dog Spark Team
It is totally free and so much fun.
Even puppies can train tricks and it builds a great bond with your dog.

Here are 4 of the basic tricks I did with Emmy

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
Enjoy the video, and if you like to train tricks also, join my free facebook spark team

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.
