Over View of the Greenstone Icelandics Showing Year 2006

Hello Folks

I have been asked lately about a total overview for how the Greenstone Icelandic Sheepdogs did in the CKC show world for 2006.. So here you go :)

In total we showed seven dogs either owned or breed by Greenstone Kennels.

In total we showed at 24 CKC Shows, We finished two Championships, pointed many others. We had 24 Best of Breeds, 17 Best of Opposite Sex, and 15 Reserve Best of Opposite Sex.

In total at those 24 Shows, the Seven Greenstone Icealandics, Folda, Tofra Dalla, Tofra Tobba, Belglen Runa of Greenstone, Greenstone Ada, Greenstone Alexander the Great, and Greenstone AJay, was entered thoughout the year, and in total we entered 48 times between these 24 shows. That means that at most show's we had multiply Icelandics each day.. We normally try and show three or more of our wonderful Icelandics each day.

Thanks to hubby for pointing out that I had not added in the Brockville show, and for helping to crunch the numbers for me, which we both did until we got to the same numbers :)

Greenstone AJay placed in Group Seven, Three times, Two Group thirds, One Group Fourth.

Greenstone AJay was shown at Ten CKC Shows, he finished his Championship in one weekend, which included his first Group win, he went on to earn to more Group placements, the first Group placements for the breed in Canada. AJay was Best of Breed at every Show that he was entered in.

AJay did Greenstone Kennels Proud in the show ring, we look forward to using him for stud (please inquire if you are interested, he is available to approved Females) and we are now working him in other Doggy Sports, including Agility.

Ajay littermate sister Ada is planned to have a litter in 2007, she is CKC pointed (six), including one major, and we hope to finish her before a later summer breeding. If you would like to get on Ada's litters waiting list, I would highly recommend sooner then Later :). Most of our puppies are pre-reserved before born.

Contact me at isdpuppies@hotmail.com and I will be happy to send you a copy of my puppy application.

We are greatly looking forward to 2007, we have plans for around 30 CKC Shows, 4 CFC Shows and 4 UKC Shows this year. The highlight of the year will be the Canadian Icelandic Sheepdog Club gathering in Calgary Alberta for the AKC Show in August 2007. We will be flying out with our very best ISD's and are greatly looking forward to meeting friends from all over Western Canada (Belglen, Pineridge) Visiting with Eastern Friends (Sundogs in Ontario) as well as the different folks coming up from the United States. This should be a amazing show! I will be taking video and tons of photos at this event.

Have a great sunday.
