Hawaian Champion

Details: Monday, 07 September 2009

Hello Mette!

Just a quick note from Hawaii to let you know that Yellowbrickroad Wring of Fire, "Cash" (Ch Zalazar Walk the Line x Ch Zalazar Koh-I-Noor) had a fabulous 3-day show weekend this 5,6 and 7 Sept. He finished his championship with three major wins, and won group placements all three days: group 4 (judge Barbara Dempsey Alderman), group 1 for a 5-pt major (judge Keith George Brown of New Zealand) and group 2 (judge Patricia Trotter). He is very showy and happy to be in the ring and was a crowd favorite - lots of cheering for him! He did get a wee bit tired in best in show as he is young and was the 6th group in so did not have time to rest before BIS. You can see a couple of pictures from the weekend on my website (www.nakoacairns.com) under the NEWS tab. (I incorrectly labeled the show pictures as August). We didn't get the actual group 1 photo, the one shown is a reject, and the group 2 has not come yet.

So your furry "grand-son" is doing great over here! Suzee was very happy to hear of these nice wins by Cash.

Aloha Nui,
Lisa Dangelmaier and Paul Pikini

DTK's Guldnål til Michael

Details: Monday, 17 August 2009

På Dansk Terrier Klub's Chantelou udstilling søndag d.16. August 2009 fik Michael tildelt DTK's højste æresbevisning; nemlig en Guldnål bl.a. for hans arbejde som hovedkasserer i klubben igennem mange år.

Kære Michael

Du har i mange år været medlem af Dansk Terrier Klub og har siden 2001 siddet i DTK’s bestyrelse - alle årene som klubbens kasserer - et kæmpe stort stykke arbejde som vi alle sammen har været yderst tilfredse med.
Det var derfor også med vemod at jeg modtog din meddelelse om at du ikke ønskede at genopstille til bestyrelsen i år på grund af et stort arbejdspres på din arbejdsplads.
Du fortsætter dog lidt endnu som Webmaster på vores hjemme- side og du er nu også Teknisk Redaktør af vores blad Terrier Nyt. Dette kræver ikke helt så megen tid som kassererposten - siger du!
Du har siddet i kreds 7’s bestyrelse i nogle år som kasserer og har også påtaget dig nogle adhoc-opgaver ind imellem.
Du har sammen med Mette i mange år opdrættet Cairn Terrier med kennelmærket ZALAZAR.
Vi har i alle årene haft et rigtig godt samarbejde først da du var kas- serer og nu som redaktør.
Vi håber at du vil bære denne hædersbevisning med stolthed når du er ude i et eller andet ”hundeærinde” i Danmark eller i udlandet.

HJERTELIG TILLYKKE
På bestyrelsens vegne,
Vibeke Sørensen

Junior Warrant

Details: Thursday, 05 February 2009

Brenndarcy Button It JW
(Zalazar Un Zipped! At Starveren - Brenndarcy Bewitched)
Owned & Bred by Branda Shannon & Danny Storr

Once a dog reaches the age of six months the time has come to start looking towards his future show career. For most dogs, aiming for challenge certificates and champion status is still a dim and distant dream - if a dog wins a challenge certificate before the age of twelve months it cannot be used towards the title of champion - so why not try and achieve his Junior Warrant?

What is a Junior Warrant?
A junior warrant is a title that all dogs between the age of six and eighteen months can compete for. Thought of as a junior championship it will show that your dog has the quality to hopefully go on to be a future champion in his breed.

How the Points are Earned
Until you know the system it may be a little hard to follow but basically your dog will have to first win his class whether it is at a championship show or an open show after this the rules can change:

If a class is won at a championship show where challenge certificates (CC’s) are on offer in his breed then he will gain three points for winning a class.
One point is earned for a win at a championship show without CC’s on offer for his breed or at an open show.
If your dog wins best of breed at an open show he can claim one point if he wasn’t able to claim a point for his class win due to low numbers in the class.
There has to be three dogs present in the breed before a dog can claim his points for winning a class.
