Max is a Champion!

Been busy, but Max got his championship two weeks ago.

ALSO, My Poodle, Sam's breeder, was BEST IN SHOW - WORLD WINNER DOG SHOW 2007 in MEXICO CITY!!!! Talked to Toshi yesterday and he's thrilled, Smash is worldwide and he's got some of the nicest poodles in the world and he's one of the nicest guys you'll meet. I travel to shows and stay with them a lot, and they've taught me so much about the poodles.

Sam is doing well, he's been shown in a few puppy classes and getting his feet under him. He's such a showy boy!

Keep you posted, Mom is here in Japan and will be visiting for the summer to help, we took Goldie to the vet, and she definitely has puppies, she's due in a few days.

I'm off to Tokyo, Shibuya for a show this weekend, big surprise debut, I won't say for whom or what dog, you'll have to wait and see!

Polo has 4 more Champion Titles in Europe!!!

Thanks to Martina and Mirko Kuhlmey, Polo's breeders, Polo is now KFT and VDH Champion, Austria Champion and International Champion!!!!! yey!!!!

He was Best of Breed and made the Group Cut in Austria today at the FCI Int. Show on Sunday!
His other wins are multiple CACIB and RCACIB, Best of Opposites to his friend Worldwinner Lizzy!!!

ASIA WINNER RESERVE QUEEN!!!

Goldie ended her career with a bang with her owners, Mr. and Mrs. Nakamura standing by.

Goldie on Saturday, 31 March started out as Best of Breed and Group 1st, Breed Judge Mr. David Merriam and Group Judge Mr. Shoji Kimura.

On Sunday, April 1st, she finished off with Reserve Queen out of over a 2600 dog entry!

Goldie is now officially retired and is to be bred to Ch. Perhaps Sugardaddy the Montgomery STCA National Best of Breed winner, if anyone is interested in this future litter of pups, let me know asap, the puppies will under my care and observation and placement. I'm looking for serious show homes.

Now, I'm waiting on puppies from my other bitch, Scotguard Cookie who has been bred to Asian Winner AKC/JKC Ch. McVans the Patriot, they are due April 12th. So far we are showing 5 pups to be born if all goes well, we're praying as this pregnancy has been really stressful on Cookie. At first she had an infection, but the vet was able to clear it out and save the remaining 5 fetuses, I hope that they are born healthy and happy.

Keep you posted, now we just have the poodle sam, who for all those that know about his little "accident", he is doing fine and will return to the show ring at the end of April.

Sam is growing up!

What a cutie this guy is turning out to be, he's been a lot of fun, now he's just 4 1/2 months, I'm washing nearly twice a week and trimming, he makes his debut in baby class on Saturday in Chubu.

Congratulations to Hiroshi and Leo and Kaz and Toshi and Vikki

I am so happy for my friends here in Japan. Hiroshi, my friend and mentor won Best of Opposite Sex with AKC/JKC Ch. Kathrich Santeric Windfall, Leo at Westminster Kennel Club in New York, Toshi Omura went and was able to see his wonderful bitch Vikki handled by Hiroshi's cousin Kaz Hosaka to Best of Breed and Group 1st, Vikki's half brother also won Best of Opposite with Martin Gregory handling. And then, Chie Ejima, a good friend, judge, and handler, also won Best of Breed as owner/breeder/and handler with her Papillon! It was truly a wonderful day for Japan! Congratulations to all, I wish I could have been there to see Vikki, I knew Kaz could do it! One day I'll show a dog there, but I'll wait until its a dog that can win!!!! :-)

Until next time!

We went to the Sapporo Ice Festival 2007 in Hokkaido

And we brought back some scottie things! Otaru is well known for their glass and music boxes, well we went to the Otaru Orgel Museum, and low and behold we found Scottish Terrier items. Here are some photos, Kelvin and I took a tour and we had a blast, hopefully we'll have some pictures of the ice sculptures, our camera went on the fritz so our friend is supposed to sent his pictures, I have some on my phone but no way to get them off.

We have a new addition...and yes, we've gone crazy!!!

Okay, don't laugh, I was involved in poodles when I was younger, most don't know that I used to handle Standards for my dear friend Joanne Langseth and had a pretty good run with one her blacks named Cole. So let me introduce you to "Sam", Smash JP Alaskan Dream, he was born October 22, 2007 and what a little dream he is. He is from one of the best kennels in the world and from my good friend Toshi Omura of Smash Poodles. Toshi was one of the first people I met when I came to Japan and opened his arms and help to me, so I've always supported him and his dogs. It was really an honor for him to trust me with one of his poodles, and Joanne and I will co-own him together, he will reside with Joanne in Alaska so she can kick some butt with him up there. We are hoping that he can go to PCA, he'll be in 6-9 months puppy dog. His nickname is "Smash" to all his Japan friends!

Everything with the scots is going well, we didn't show Max last weekend due to conflict of interest, Goldie was Excellent Group the first day after deciding she didn't like the space heaters, and on Sunday she was BOB and Group 1st under Judge Mr. Sugahara, whom used to work for Peter Green and Bergit long ago, he's been a wonderful friend and support and just started his judging career last year after a huge retirement party, already he's judged in Europe at some big shows and having a blast.

Well, until next time,

Rebecca

We're back!

I had some issues because My blog turned into a Japanese page! I couldn't read it.

Some news from last weeks first show of the year,

Max made his debut as a junior and was given Reserve King at 9 months old! Gold pulled through under a big entry of females and selected Excellent Group!

We'll give it another shot this upcoming weekend in Chubu, we're hoping Max can get JKC champion before he leaves for USA.

Blogger difficulties

I changed over to the new system, and now my blog is in Japanese and I can't read it, that's why I've been off for a while, will hopefully be back soon. :-(

Best in Show #5 and #5

Well we had a spectacular weekend last weekend as our last weekend before the holidays and end of the year throughout the World.

First, Polo, Ch. Arabella's Voyager has been doing well, he got both his CAC in Austria and needs one more for the Austria Championship, and he got another CAC towards his KFT/German championship in Germany last weekend and Best of Opposite Sex. Thank you Mirko and Martina for taking care of my boy and making my dreams come true for him.

Now, on to our big news!! Eric Sote was invited to judge Best in Show from Australia and he chose Ch. Beameups Solid Gold for the Best in Show, he also bestowed Best in Show upon us with Land Rose JP All Right, aka Max, whom also got Best Puppy in Show! I was also Reserve King with Eric the Airedale, so greedy we were!

It was BIS number 5 for Goldie, the judge really loved her so much.

The following day Goldie was Group 2 at the Tokyo FCI, but her fans still cheered for her! Max was Puppy King and Res.BPIS!!! This was his final win for his PUppy Korea, he won a total of 5 Best in Shows as a youngster, not bad!!!

Photos courtesy of Mari Nakashima and TAKE OFF kennel, thank you!

Polo

Oh, and I almost forgot, Polo got his 3rd Austria ticket in Wels, he needs one more for the Austrian Champion Title, and he got the upgraded CACIB as well for his Int. Title, he needs 2 more tickets there as well, Thank you Martina and Mirko for keeping him and allowing him to finish this titles. I miss my son! :-)

Kawagoe Rengoten

We went to the Kawagoe Rengoten on Sunday and Goldie was Group 1st. Max was Group 1 puppy and Best Puppy in Show. Goldie showed awesome, she hasn't shown this well in a while, she was so happy and pulling around the ring, she loves to show still. I just wish she could have got something but now the politics for the shows are so bad at the moment. Always the same dogs are winning and all because of who owns them or how much money, but this is the same all over the world, so I continue to fight with Goldie to win as much as we can. I am still so proud that a wheaten Scottish Terrier could win so much in this country and honestly, I hope that her owners are as proud as I am and I'm so glad to be a part of her career and that they have trusted me and given me this opportunity to share in her success. This past weekend everyone told me she is looking really good now and that she should have a good chance, I wish they were the judge! :-) Mr. and Mrs. Nakahara are very happy about Max, I am happy to exhibit him, he will be fun for the future. Thank you Mari for these fast samples, I also have Goldie's Best in Show Photo from Elaine Young. I'm finding that most foreign judges like her, especially from the states, some Australian judges like her but sometimes I think her type is too different for them. :-)

Rebecca

Sorry, we've been busy!

We came back from the World Show and kept running as usual. The Scottish Terrier Japan Specialty was on the 23rd and Vandra Huber came to judge, along with husband Mike and junior Shannon. We saw the sites and went to the show. I was happy, Polo's son, Sarahjoy JP Sukekiyo, aka Baltic was Winners Dog and AOM, he is out of my breeding of Polo and Cookie and they are about 14 months old now. Goldie has been doing very well, she got a Reserve Queen on the 15th of Nov, and two Group 1's the following days at the Kyushu FCI. Just last weekend she was Group 1 at the Osaka FCI, one of the biggest shows of the year so this was a nicer result then last year. We've got two more weekends of shows and then we are taking some time off for the holidays. Max has been doing good too, he also got another Reserve Puppy King on the 17th of November, last weekend in Osaka he was Puppy Group 2, we let the Yorkie win, Max needs to learn how to slow down and walk on all fours. He's got so much heart and energy that he forgets that he's supposed to move. :-) I'll post pictures of Goldie when I have them ready.
