Arrived in the mail yesterday, thank for the wonderful Christmas Present from Tofra Kennels, its filled with lovely photo of some truly stunning examples of the Icelandic Sheepdog Breed. I would highly recommended that if you are learning about the breed, or just in love with the breed, consider contacting DIF and ordering this Calander.
I just had to scan in and share the cover photo with you.. While there are very beautiful Icelandic around the world, there are truly some stunning dogs in Iceland, and so enjoy the photo of Hector, which would be Tofra Dalla of Greenstone Father, and Grandfather to all Dalla's offspring..no wonder AJay was a one show CKC Champion and Multi-Group placing ISD, he is following in his Grandfathers footsteps..
This event came over one of my show dog lists and I thought it was worth putting up..
"On with the news. It is 12 days to the closing of the first CKC Charity Event featuring the Purina National. The show closes Tuesday February 20th at 8”00 PM EST, and takes place March 10th & 11th 2007 in Tillsonburg Ontario, between London & Toronto.
The Purina National features a World class judging panel, and with close to $28,000 in cash prizes, this is the can’t miss event of the Spring. Saturday offers a truly special day including a “Black Tie” Best in Show, so a chance to get dressed up and look as good as your dog!
Sunday we are offering what is essentially 7 Group Specialties, as judging ends after Group Level. For our Obedience friends (and BTW someone stuck their neck out to make sure you were included, so make sure you turn out) we are offering Trials on Saturday and Sunday with a cash prize of $500 for High in Trial
Now the real meaning of the show, is not in the competition, it is in the reason for this show, and that is raising money for the newly created CKC Foundation. The foundation has been designed to ensure that never again will there be dogs in peril, and the CKC unable to help through lack of funding. Whether it is flooding in Manitoba, hurricanes in New Orleans or Breed Specific legislation, we need to ensure that we can do our part to help our canine friends when they need us most.
Our sponsors including Purina, Xerox, and many members of the Canine Media have been extremely generous, and more are coming to the table every day, and we thank them for their support. All of the members of the committee are donating their services. We have a real opportunity to make a difference while enjoying a truly great dog show, so enter early and often"
What a great idea for a show, and hope they get lots of support and lots of entries!!
Well, its snowing again today, and on the colder side but hoping for sun later. The dogs are all good, and planning on working on training today for a number of the dogs, and looking forward to tomorrow, we are going to be taking the dogs for a run in the woods, and trails, we are wanting to start teaching them to work in team of two for Ski-joing, and so that should be alot of fun.
Everyone have a good morning, and back to the grind I go.
