DONNER TRAIL KENNEL CLUB

GCH CH Quiet Creek’s Kiss and Tell

Our Monday Morning Mop Up was interrupted by a whole day of travel with limited connectivity.  To compound matters, we arrived home to find our two males, our Scottie, Bernie, and our Italian Greyhound, Pepe, had once again got into a scrap.   While Pepe is a huge IG, he is no match for Bernie.  After some first aid and a dose of amoxi, Pepe is now sitting with me in my chair so I can return to my reports.

MONDAY MORNING MOP UP

GCH CH Gunther's Gussied Up Edna

We have focused our reports this weekend on the big Terrier Tussle in Pennsylvania, but it’s Monday and that means the Monday Morning Mop Up.  We usually start our reports in the east and work our way west, but we will try to spread it around this morning.

GCH CH Lambluv Gambolon Blue Thunder

We start in Yorkville IL where the Stone City Kennel Club gave us two all breed shows.  Monica Canestrini had the day one final and her pick of the English Springer Spaniel, Gentry's Homecoming Queen, the Longhaired Dachshund, GCH CH Hundelben Queen’s Armada SL, the Giant Schnauzer, Histyle’s Candy Land, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, GCH CH Cumhill Hell Raiser, the Pomeranian, CH Tab’s Scootin’ Boomer of Storm, the Boston Terrier, GCH CH Gunther's Gussied Up Edna, and the Old English Sheepdog, GCH CH Lambluv Gambolon Blue Thunder.

Finishing One/Two were the Boston, Edna, and the OES, Elvis.  It’s tough for a Boston Terrier to get out of the Non-Sporting Group and win a  BIS and the charming Edna has done it twice this year.  Both of her wins have come in the last month.  She is the only Boston Terrier to win a BIS this year.

GCH CH Pem We-Syng Lucky Mi

On Sunday Edna, Elvis, and the LH Dachshund, Cheese, would return for a second try at the big rosette.  Joining them in Col. Jerry H Weiss’ final were the Brittany, GCH CH Star Flight Jumpin Jack Flash OA NAJ, the Great Dane, CH Alpine's Ice Warrior V Hawthorn, the Irish Terrier, CH Granuaile´s Crimson Treasure, and the Japanese Chin, GCH CH Pem We-Syng Lucky Mi.  Once again Elvis would get the Reserve award while the Chin, Mimi would take home the BIS.  Mimi is the winningest Chin in AKC history with 15 BIS this season.

MONTGOMERY COUNTY KENNEL CLUB

Today’s Montgomery County Kennel Club show was nearly picture perfect.  Everything, but the weather presented the ideal day for Terrier lovers.  In the end the few drops of rain just made the tweeds, caps, & boots more authentic.

AKC's Number One Terrier, the Wirehaired Fox Terrier, AfterAll Painting the Sky, skipped the festivities as her breeder was judging.  However, handler Gabriel Rangel handled one of Sky’s kennelmates to the most prestigious award  in the Terrier world, Best In Show at Montgomery County.  

The Lakeland Terrier, GCH CH Iron Van Foliny Home, took home the Group One, while the country’s Number Two Terrier, the Scottish Terrier, GCH CH Lomondview Clementina, took the second place, the Airedale, GCH CH Joval Angel’s Whisper, finished third, and the Smooth Fox Terrier, GCH CH Wedigit Paparazzi, took home the fourth place.

The Belgian born Aston had a substantial European career, capturing French and World titles before coming to the US.  Although Aston has won multiple specialties and Terrier groups, it’s safe to say that today’s win is Aston’s biggest.  Congratulations to breeders De Munter Rony & Uiterwijk Dieny, owner Victor Malzoni Jr, and handler Gabriel Rangel.
