RIO PECOS KENNEL CLUB 1

GCH CH R and G’s Mystical Dancer  

There was a dog show in just about every corner of the US yesterday.  Let’s visit some of the places we don’t often hear from in our world.  Yesterday in Roswell NM the focus was on Keeshonds, not Klingons, at the Rio Pecos Kennel Club’s first show of two in the town famous for UFOs.  

GCH CH Istari Midnight Sun

Denny Mounce’s out of this world seven were the Clumber Spaniel, GCH CH Clussexx Collaboration With Traddles, the Harrier, GCH CH Downhome Hitech Innovator, the Boxer, GCH CH R and G’s Mystical Dancer, the Miniature Bull Terrier, GCH CH Dytona VIP, the Brussels Griffon, Ceniza Hills Little Bag Of Trix, the Keeshond, CH Karina's You Can't Stop The Beat, and the Shetland Sheepdog, GCH CH Istari Midnight Sun.  

The terrestrial two were the Reserve, the Sheltie, Edward, and the Best In Show, The Boxer, Danny.  Danny, AKC’s Number Nine Dog All Breeds, has 17 BIS this year.

SOMERSET HILLS KENNEL CLUB

GCH CH Banana Joe v Tani Kazari  

Last year’s Somerset Hills Kennel Club show was canceled because of  storms that flooded the show grounds.  Today they raced to finish Joan Goldstein’s final in North Branch NJ ahead another major incoming storm.    But finish they did.

The seven braving the weather were the German Wirehaired Pointer, GCH CH Mt View’s Ripsnorter Silver Charm, the Rhodesian Ridgeback, the Whirlaways Ida Belle's A Ringing, the Samoyed, GCH CH McMagic’s Candied Ham of Pebbles’Run, the Scottish Terrier, GCH CH Lomondview Clementina, the Affenpinscher, GCH CH Banana Joe v Tani Kazari, the French Bulldog, and the Bearded Collie, GCH CH Dunhill Celebration. 

All that determination paid off for the GWP, Oakley, who picked up the Reserve, and for the Affenpinscher, Joey, who got the big BIS.  The win, worth better than 1800 points, is Joey’s 28th of the year.   The fast moving storm should clear the area tonight and fair weather is predicted for tomorrow’s Westchester County Kennel Club show.

THURSDAY & FRIDAY IN OKLAHOMA

GCH CH Skyscots Texas Hold’Em

We love living in the South.  People down here generally keep the government at arms length and as a result it is very dog friendly country.  However, we do occasionally have some nasty weather, a situation compounded by the fact that we live in Memphis’ historic district where the trees are 200 years old and the power grid is nearly as old.  When you combine old trees and old power lines, you get frequent power outages.    We’ve suffered through two annoying outages in the last week, which has delayed us bringing you results.  So without out further explanations or excuses.  Here’s what’s been happening the last two days.  

GCH CH Chancellor Flirt's High Flyin' Gladiator  

Out in Elk City OK fanciers gathered Thursday for four days with the West Central Oklahoma Kennel Club.  On Thursday the Golden Retriever, Bravo Rycroft's A Wrink L N Thyme, the Saluki, GCH CH Sandstorm Blue Nile Bubbles of Jatara, the Rottweiler, GCH CH Chancellor Flirt's High Flyin' Gladiator, the Norwich Terrier, GCH CH Skyscots Texas Hold’Em, the Toy Poodle, Donnchada Angel Wings At Dulcinea, the Bulldog, GCH CH Mytoys Epic Against the Wind, and the Rough Collie, CH Arrowhill Swords Held High all showed up in Charles Trotter’s final.  

He went with the two black & tan dogs, the Rottweiler, Pilot, who got the Reserve, and the Norwich, Decker, who took home the Best In Show.  While Decker and handler Brenda Combs are no strangers to Oklahoma, we are delighted to see that Decker and Brenda have been out and about more this year.  The two of them together are a lot of fun to watch.  We will definitely be looking for this one at Montgomery.  We have this as Decker’s sixth big rosette of the year.  

GCH CH Wind Dancer Jenstar Backstage Pass  

Friday, Decker & Brenda, would be the only of the Thursday finalists to make it back to Bradley Jenkins final.  Making their first appearance of the set were the Vizla, Regal Point Pinnacle of Kilauea, the Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen, GCH CH Soletrader Maggie May at M&M, the Boxer, GCH CH Winfall I Dream of Style, the Silky Terrier, GCH CH Wind Dancer Jenstar Backstage Pass, the Schipperke, GCH CH Dante Fire When Ready HOF, and the Australian Shepherd, GCH CH Harmony Hills Money Talks.  

Decker would pick up the RBIS and the Silky, Andy, would take the BIS.  It’s Andy is a multi specialty and Toy Group winner and  was the Silky Terrier breed winner at the 2011 AKC/Eulanuba National Championship.  This is his first all breed BIS.  Congratulations to breeders/owners Teresa Gallegos & Linda Hurt.
