Utrecht Championship Show - Saturday 23rd October 2010 – another successful day to remember. Sometimes you have of those days that everything works and We think this was one of those days.  Starting with Ludwig “Beethoven of the Hellacious Acres” in the junior dog class, after his win and German junior title from the last weekend; we of course had high hopes & expectations …and YES he did it again!!!! , winning his junior dog class and gaining his first Dutch junior CAC at just 11 months;
 the dog judge was Dagmar Winter from Germany.

De kampioenschap tentoonstelling in Utecht – op zaterdag 23 oktober – werd wederom een succesvolle dag en een om te onthouden. Soms heb je van die dagen dat alles goed gaat en dit was zo’n dag. Hij begon met Ludwig “Beethoven of the Hellacious Acres” in de jeugdklasse reuen, na zijn overwinning en zijn Duitse jeugd titel behaald in het afgelopen weekend hadden we natuurlijk hoge verwachtingen…… en JA , hij deed het weer!!! , hij won zijn jeugdklasse en zijn eerste Nederlandse jeugd CAC net 11 maanden oud, de reuen keurmeester was Dagmar Winter uit Duitsland.

Melissa of the Hellacious Acres  thought ‘what Ludwig can do I can do at least as well’ ….and yes she did – winning  her junior bitch Class in great style beating some very lovely junior bitches and  to gain her first junior CAC in the Netherlands.

The bitch judge was Dieter Harms from Germany.
It’s a lovely feeling to have two promising juniors with so much potential.

Melissa of the Hellacious Acres dacht ‘Wat Ludwig kan ik zeker zo goed’…..en ja hoor dat deed ze – ze won haar teven jeugdklasse in grootse stijl en versloeg enige zeer mooie jeugdteven en won zo haar eerste Nederlands jeugd CAC in Nederland. De teven keurmeester was Dieter Harms uit Duitsland.

Het is een fantastisch gevoel om twee veelbelovende jeugdhonden te bezitten.

The day was going to be even better!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“JAZMIN”, this time entered in veteran bitch - being close to eleven years now, had a great day - still moving and having fun like a 4 year old ,and just back into coat again, she really enjoyed her day out and performed brilliantly.

The judge noticed that too – UK.Sh.Ch.,Ger.and VDH-Ch.Remington Requisite of Ramchaine won her Veteran bitch class as well as Best Bitch giving her the CAC – a super achievement for an old lady.

 

En de dag zou nog beter worden!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“JAZMIN”, deze keer ingeschreven in de veteranenklasse – nu bijna 11 jaar oud, had een super dag – nog steeds lopend en plezier hebbend als een 4 jarige, en ook weer net in vacht, genoot ze van haar dag uit en presteerde ze fantastisch.

De keurmeester merkte dat ook op – UK.Sh.Ch.,Ger.and VDH-Ch.Remington Requisite of Ramchaine won de Veteranen klasse en werd ook beste teef wat haar het CAC bracht – een geweldige prestatie voor zo’n oude dame.

Sunday 21st November : A  morning Seminar on ‘Understanding the Golden Retriever Breed Standard’ by Eileen Caisley ( Standfast ) & in the afternoon –

 

 

The GRCN GOLDEN GALA” – Bart as the Chairman of the Golden Retriever Club of the Netherlands had worked very hard with his team of helpers to create a SPECTACULAR new event for all the “SILVER SPOON WINNERS” of the previous year: - All the Best Dog CAC & Best Bitch CAC winners at the Championship shows held in the Netherlands during the year beginning with the prestigious Amsterdam Winner in November qualify to compete in the match - along with any Junior Champions and Veteran Champions gaining their titles during that year.

 

 

Jazmin & Vogue had between them won 5 x ‘spoons’ during the qualifying year so could proudly be there on the day to compete in the one against one knockout match. Both went through the first rounds and were then each unlucky to be drawn against and knocked out by the ultimate winner of the day – the superb “Lemon” who got better & better in the spotlight, excitement & buzz of the day – a true happy, ever wagging showgirl.

 

Judge was Borge Espeland from Norway.

 

 

 

 

It was a great day, with a friendly, special atmosphere; lots of people attending to learn more about our breed and  enjoying the occasion . Many of the handlers and spectators dressed up for the grandeur event adding to the magnitude, fun & aura of the day.

Well done to Our Super Showgirl!!

 

 

Vogue wins the Reserve CAC and therefore gains her Dutch CHAMPION title – she had already obtained the necessary number of CACs required but was too young to obtain her official title as Dutch rules require at least one CAC or RCAC to be won after the aged of 27months ( which she became only the WEEK before – on 20th November!!) . The bitch judge was Elena Ruskovaara from Finland.

 

 

Ludwig – “Beethoven of the Hellacious Acres” ( Ch. Dewmist Silk Symphony ex Philomena of the Hellacious Acres ) did us proud in the dog ring winning his Junior class and being awarded the “JEUGWINNER 2010” title. Judge of the males was Antonio di Lorenzo from Italy.
