* 23rd Nov 2013 - Albany All Breeds Dog Club (WA), Judge: Mr D Johnston (SA) - Baby Puppy in Group
We entered and competed at the NSW Australian Shepherd Specialty 30th March - Conformation, Obedience and Rally-O. We didnt place in the conformation ring but did very well in the Rally-O. Nitra exceeded my expectations and gained a quali/pass the only the mistakes and points lost were handler errors. Socks was not in her element today, but still walked away with a quali/pass and gained 2nd place in novice!
What a year 2012 has been here at Toujour Kennel. So much has happened and to sum it up here is a list of our crew's achievements:
STORM - gained a Rally'O Novice pass and started her duties with Delta Therapy Dog program attending a local rehabilitation hospital CYNDER - gained her qualification for these titles; Gamblers Dog, Jumping Dog, Snooker Dog, Strategic Pairs Dog, Endurance Test and Pre-trial (herding). Not to mention a pass in Rally'O Novice. Cynder really pulled in the titles this year! RAIVEN - slowed down in the showing and went on to be a wonderful mother whelping her first litter and the first litter for our kennel. This was the Amour litter - which we have run on VALA her daughter (who curently is staying with friends of ours, Kim Garlic, in Sydney). VALA has been introduced to the show ring and has achieved a Baby Puppy in Group while she was in TAS handled by Ms Fay Harris. KOVU - gained his Australian Champion Title in the showring along the way achieving 4 class in group awards and a Runner Up Best in Group as well. Also in other sports Kovu has two qualification (passes) towards his Herding Test Title. SOCKS - gained her Herding Test Title and started earning some show points towards her Champion Title and while in the ring she achieved 2 class in group awards. NITRA - only just a new member to the team, will hopefully make her achievements next year. Overall our dogs have achieved 7 new titles and 6 additional quali's/passes towards future titles. 03.11.2012 at the Ulverstone Show under judge Mrs V Carter (SA) Vala goes Baby Puppy in Group. Thanks to Ms Fay Harris for handling her.
21st September at the Hunter Kennel Club under judge Mr K Hammond (NSW) Socks goes Puppy in Group!
Kovu finished off his points towards his Australian Champion Titled on Sunday 10th June 2012. My live wire of a boy is a very happy show pony (sometimes a monster in the ring) and i love his personality and what he has to offer. Along the way to his title he has achieved: 1 x Baby Puppy in Group 2 x Puppy in Group 2 x Junior in Group and a Runner Up Best in Group (Group5)! We thank his breeder Melissa Waters (Watersedge Kennel) for allowing us to have this beautiful and loving boy in our lives. Let me annouce: Aust. Ch. Watersedge Ur Under Arrest - "Kovu" Kovu wins Runner Up Best In Group and Junior in Group under judge Miss A Meyn (NSW) and a 12pt Best of Breed at the Mackville Nambucca Show. The weather made the show ring a mush pit - soo much mud everywhere! At the Stroud Show under judge Ms C Timms (NSW) - Kovu showed himself off in the class line-up and was awarded Junior In Group!! Unfortunately we didn't get a go in the General Specials and we missed out on getting a photo with the judge.
This photo was taken at the show though. At the Wingham Show under judge Mr L Butler (NSW) - Kovu was a star earning a lovely 10 point Best of Breed against strong competition, followed by a Puppy in Group. At the Wingham Show under judge Mr L Butler (NSW) - Socks was awarded baby Puppy in Group!! Not the best photo, socks isn't standing properly - but only photo taken. Today at the Camden Haven PAH&I Society Kovu was Best of Breed followed by a wonderful Puppy in Group!!
