Getting a Keeshond
It's official! We are now a sanctioned AKC club!
We held a fun match at Vallejo during the San Mateo Kennel Club shows, with judge Darby McSorley. Attendance was good, and everyone had fun watching the new dogs make life "interesting" for their handlers! Joanne's girl Frenchie was BOB, and Liz's youngster Pete was BOS. We topped off the evening with one of our killer potlucks.
Karen O'Neil has had lots of good news lately. Not only is her girl Sami tearing up the agility course and earning new titles, but Sami's 2008 litter by Gabriel now includes five champions out of six puppies! The last of the siblings is very close to finishing, two are already Grand Champions, and one was #1 Dog All-Breeds in Hong Kong for 2011!
Many of us went down to San Bernardino for the Keeshond Club of Southern California specialties and two Orange Empire Dog Club all-breed shows. This weekend of shows is a favorite with us every year - plenty of majors, and KCSC throws a great party! This year was a big success for CSKC. Just a few highlights: Marty Huck's girl Celeste (Nightwatch Caressed by Astarz) finished her championship with a 4-point major. Joanne Reed's new girl Windrift's Rock Star won a major and 2 Reserves from the 6-9 Puppy class on her first weekend in the ring. Jeannine DeWald's boy Bopper (Windrift's Coxswain Times Square) went Best of Winners for his first major, and topped it off with an Award of Merit.
