Icelandic Sheepdogs -Kingston Show Results!!


Hello Folks

What a weekend! The Greenstone Icelandics were amazing, I am so proud of all of them, but once again Ajay stole the show when it came to group level, but both Belglen girls were simply stunning at breed level!!

So first off it was Hot! so we spent a great deal of the time trying to make sure that the dogs were comfortable, without melting ourselves.. and we also had a large rain storm on friday night that also created floods..

Ok, on with the show, Greenstone Ajay, Greenstone Ada, Belglen Runa of Greenstone and Belglen Roskva were at the show, all dogs were listed.

On Friday,
BOB - Greenstone Ajay
BOS- Belglen Runa of Greenstone
Reserve Winners Bitch- Greenstone Ada

Scott and Laura were just a touch to late getting to the show site and missed the group seven on Friday, but were there on Saturday and Sunday, as well as Friday evening..

Then came group and much to my surprise and great pleasure, Greenstone Ajay took Group 3rd! I was so pleased. What a great boy..

Saturday
BOB-Greenstone AJay
BOS-Belglen Runa of Greenstone
Reserve Winners Bitch- Belglen Roskva


and that meant that Belglen Runa was the second Iceland Sheepdog in Canada to finish her needed points to become the first female ISD Champion!!! WAY TO GO RUNA and BELGLEN Kennels!!

I have attached Runa's winning show photo to this email, if you would like it large enough to print off, then please let me know, and I will send it with a larger format so that it will look good.

Sunday
BOB-Greenstone AJay
BOS-Belglen Runa of Greenstone
Reserve Winner Bitch-Belglen Roskva

and then Greenstone AJay went on to take Group 4th!! Two group placements in one weekend, that is simply amazing.. Ajay has placed 3 times in two show weekend all under different judges.

On friday my favorite Judge comment, was that he was a very sound dog, with great drive and movement.

The Judge on sunday took more time telling me what he thought of Ajay, , Although young and needing to mature, he felt that he was wonderfully sound, great movement, good reach and drive, but the one that I loved the most was " this dog is in a class of his own, he says, Look at this breed" "Totally Eye catching" Got to love comments like that!!

It was a great weekend visiting with friends, enjoying fine but to hot weather, and wonderful times spent with my Icelandics..

As always there were many interested folks and lots of visiting about the breed..

Everyone have a great night.
