Holbrook Show Society 2016, 5 Nov

/in , , /by

As I wasn't able to enter the show a little more 'local' to me (in Victoria) today so I had planned the journey up to Southern NSW. To show Lyra of course and also my friends mini smooth dachshund. I've shown him a number of times and have done quite well - he is a nice boy. The show was the Holbrook Show Society 2016 . The judge was Mr Derek Hyde (ACT) he awarded Lyra Best of Breed followed by Best Exhibit in Group, Best Junior in Group and later through to Best Junior in Show. This takes Lyra to the 10 best in groups as one requirement for the title of Supreme Champion. Lyra must now complete the other requirement if 1,000 points.  Really excited with Lyra she continues to do so well under all manner of judges.

Dogs Victoria New Years Eve Show 2015

/in , , /by

The second of two Dogs Victoria Amenities Shows. The Dogs Victoria New Years Eve Show 2015 commenced early evening. It was a truly beautiful warm evening and one that turned out to be very memorable for Tambuzi. Again the evening was spent socialising around the rings catching up with many friends to celebrate our dogs achievements for the past 12 months. Hound specialist Mr Tony Kyman (Vic) was our judge this evening. Dusk is when my dogs wake up to watch the Kangaroo 'migration' through the property. Lyra was on 'almost' her best behaviour and showed very well. She was awarded Best of Breed and went into the Best in Group ring amongst a number of quality dogs. It was a wonderful and most exciting honour for Lyra to be awarded Best Exhibit in Group (BIG-1) and all at the tender age of 7 months and 2 days old. Later as firework displays were going off in the distance Lyra was awarded Best Minor Puppy in Show by general specials judge Mrs Barbara Doyle (Vic). This was a fantastic conclusion to what was an amazing night and a tremendous year for Tambuzi. Well done to Best in Show winner the Old English Sheepdog MBIS Am Ch & Aust Sup Ch Barkshire's Captain America (Imp USA) and Runner Up Best in Show Winner the English Springer Spaniel MBIS BISS Winner Aust Sup Ch Sandicam The Look Of Love and all the other class in show winners.

Maryborough and District 2015 – 12 December

/in , , /by

Such a lovely day with friends at Maryborough and District 2015 Championship Show. Great company and great food. The hound group judge was Mr Graeme Missen (Vic) who also officiated for general specials. Mr Missen offered extremely positive comments about Tambuzi The Secret Society (Lyra) whilst she was on the table and during judging. Lyra, just over 6 months, old showed well for her class but didn't gait nearly as well as she can for the bitch challenge. She was awarded reserve bitch challenge over two seasoned champions which is very encouraging. Later Lyra went on to be awarded Best Minor Puppy in Group against some quality exhibits. Finally being awarded Best Minor Puppy in Show! Needless to say this topped of what was a fantastic day.

Hound specialist Mrs Gwen Ford (Vic) officiated as the hound judge at the Belgrave and District Kennel Club Show 2015. The weather was a little bit cool but Tambuzi The Secret Society (Lyra) did very well in the baby puppy run off handled by Tony Wills she beat her brother Tambuzi The Master of Ascallon (Gus) who performed beautifully at this his first show. Lyra was awarded best baby puppy of breed and then went up against an absolutely stunning line-up (many breeds represented) of babies for best Baby Puppy in Group. So honored that Lyra was awarded Best Baby Puppy In Group against such strong competition. I was happy with that. But Lyra went one better and under General Specials judge Bev Watt (Vic) Lyra was awarded Best Baby Puppy In Show - so wrapped with that!
