Christmas update

 I hope you all are staying healthy,
Christmas is around the corner, and we are making sure our dogs are being totally fine with the things that happen around the house.

Non of our dogs seem to have problems with the tree and decorations. We do loads of fun games and involve Christmas decorations with our games.

I just wanted to share this with you all, as we do not really have lots of things going on. We do our training/games and we have our snuggles and walks, but we sure look forward to some conformation shows.

In the meantime please stay healthy.

Glamourace Collies Princess Leia

 Finally a page for Glamourace Collies Princess Leia
pet name Leia
DOB juli 3th 2019

Rawenclaw Black Illustion of Kingly Shine x AKC ch. Highcroft summer Embrace

Due to Corona crisis Leia has been shown very very little
Her only real succes was best puppy in show (at her first show)
a few times best puppy of the breed, and a Best opposite.

We did have the time to get her a Novice and intermediate trick title and level 1 fitness
She was awarded 1st in our area for Most prettiest dog of the Netherlands (photocompetition)

We are working towards an awsome 2021 with her

Mid november update

 Still no dogshows, we don't really get used to it, but it is what it is.

We started with some tricktraining with Judy, nothing to fancy, and we are not putting an enddate on the title. Scarlett is doing very very well.
We shot a little video that shows her movement at this moment, and I'm happy she is able to move like this at the age of 11 years and 9 months.

We took some pictures with Leia, only the weather was a bit windy so hair and ears where flying all over.
Still they are pretty nice so I'm putting a few of them here anyway.

I hope you all stay healthy and happy, and I will try update soon again! 

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

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.
