Fort Bend Kennel Club – A New Borzoi Champion for Gryffyn’s Aeyrie!
January 19
At the Saturday show in Rosenberg, Ray took Winners Dog for 2 points and finished his AKC conformation championship. Boo then won her Bred-by Exhibitor class and went on to Winners Bitch / Best of Winners for 2 points. With this win, she entered what we so fondly call the “singles club” – needing a single point to finish. The judge was Elizabeth Muthard.
So happy that Victor went down while I was home in bed nursing... Lone Star Classic – December 2012
On Saturday, Boo (Gryffyn’s Aeyrie Boudicca) won the Bred-by Exhibitor bitch class and went on the Winners Bitch and Best of Winners for a 4-point major. A young and gangly Beast (Gryffyn’s Aeyrie Party Animal – Boo’s half-nephew) was Reserve Winners Dog (and the judge had some nice comments about him, despite it looking like I was showing a white/cream tornado). He showed fairly well considering his lack of... UKC Shows (Hutto) and Siren’s Big Debut
Well this had to be the most exciting UKC weekend ever for us!
First, let me introduce one of the players. Some of you who attended the 2009 SilkenFest in MO may remember a little extreme white with tan sable spotted bitch that Victor was showing who absolutely refused to come off the cement area where the judge had examined her, and on to the grass so she could be put through her paces in the lovely grassed ring. The judge had finally excused... Lump Adds a Title
Nothing like a straight-racing meet closely following the conclusion of a speedy bitch’s heat cycle when their speed tends to be affected by the post-hormonal slump.
Even so, Lump, aka Lumpus, formally known as FC Gryffyn’s Aeyrie Here With You, SC FCh, has added a new title to the alphabet soup attached to her name. She finished the requirements for her Gazehound Racing Champion title, eking them out in a tie with another...
Pasha is Grand
Today I opted to spend the morning taking Pasha, Shadow and Jules to the morning UKC show in Denton instead of to the LGRA racing “around the corner” in McKinney – Victor took care of that duty.
Pasha had been taking time off for an extended period following a ligament injury sustained in June. At first believed to be a possibly career-ending cruciate injury, after further testing and consultation with a vet not so eager to...
Rocky Mountain Borzoi Club Specialty Show – Fall 2012
Once again it was time for my annual excursion to the Fall specialty hosted by the Rocky Mountain Borzoi Club in Longmont, Colorado. It’s always great to meet up and visit with the folks in the area, as well as getting to see all the lovely local borzoi there. My traveling companion was Leslie and her lovely girl Danika – their first trip to RMBC.
After an uneventful (for us) Sweepstakes competition, we had a touch of success in the...
Lone Star Classic Summer Cluster
Boo winning Best Opp/Best of Winners for her first major under judge James G. Reynolds
Our Borzoi “diva” Boo (Gryffyn’s Aeyrie Boudicca) has not shown much at all-breed dog shows, the majority of her experience being attending two national specialty shows. She was entered for two days at the Lone Star Classic show cluster (three days of all-breed dogs shows, and one day of specialty shows, which at this time do not include...
Absent
Obviously this blog had gone stagnant. Various other projects, life changes, and a constant state of busy-ness cause this news-blog to fall into a back corner where it proceeded to gather dust bunnies. It’s time to attempt to get it up to speed once again! In the span of time since my participation fell away, we’ve finished several champions in the ring and field and had a nice share of notable wins.
I will attempt to add in some...
