Icelandic Sheepdogs at the Richmond Ottawa Kennel Club May 28th 2006

Hello Folks

Well its sunday evening, and we are just starting to unpack the truck after letting all the dogs have a good solid run in the fields, they earned it. With females in heat, we had to have three different running groups but everyone is happy and tired now. What a weekend, The breed booth was so busy saturday and sunday, its a good thing that we had two couples both helping out. The Ottawa Kennel club has asked if the CISC would like to have a booster next year along with our breed booth, certainly something to look at and consider.

So on with the news :) Once again, seven Icelandics at the show, and all dogs listed. Greenstone Ajay took Best of Breed today for a 3 pt win, making his total points won over the weekend a total of 11, which means that he has enough points to get his CKC Championship!!! A one Show Champion!! Way to go Ajay, handled to perfection by Linda Thompson.

Belglen Runa of Greenstone took Best of Breed for a 3 pt win, making her total points at this time seven, two 3pt wins and a 1 pt win.

In the Females, staying true to form
1st- Belglen Runa
2nd-Greenstone Ada- Reserve Female
3rd-Folda
4th- Tofra Tobba

I was very pleased to see that the judges clearly had read the standard, most having just taken the breed seminar in the last month, and it was nice to see them showing this by picking the top dogs out over and over again.

Greenstone Ada finished the show with six points on her. So we will be working at the Kingston show to finish Ada/Runa's championship.

We had two CKC judges come up and ask, if we would please consider taking Greenstone AJay out as a special so that the judges can become trained in what a really good Icelandic looks like.. What an honor to have judges come up and ask/tell you that your dog should be a special. So who am I to argue on this LOL, So Ajay will also be going to Kingston.

I had a new photo taking today in memory of AJay taking his points that put him at 11. Laura and Scott's little girl took Best Puppy of Breed and we have a family photo taken in memory of this wonderful show. Hope you will enjoy seeing the photos!
