IDS Fredericia 10-11 February 2024

This weekend we attended the International Dog Show in Fredericia. Krondal’s T-Rex “Hondo” was entered in champion class and did a very good job, winning Best Male and Best of Breed. He thereby achieved the last CACIB needed and can now add the title INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION to his list of show resultat. ;o) To make the result even better, the judge in Fredericia who awarded Hondo his last CACIB was the breed specialist Madame Sylvaine Tompousky, who is present vice-president (former president) for the French Dogue de Bordeaux Club, and it’s always a special feeling to win under a breed specialist judge. Our daughter Selma competed in juniorhandling both days in Fredericia. She also did very well this weekend, being shortlisted as the final 6 in the mini-group one day, and being among the final 4 in the mini-group the second day, thereby going to the finals. So certainly something…

MY DOG show Gothenburg, Sweden

Peter and Selma went to the MY DOG show yesterday in Gothenburg, Sweden with Krondal’s T-Rex “Hondo” and Senseo Supernova. Hondo was entered in champion class and won Best Male and BOB with a Swedish CAC and the CACIB. Hondo is thereby new Swedish Champion. ;o) Also, he now has CACIBs from 3 different countries, and he just needs one more CACIB after February 10th to become International Champion. (he won his first CACIB on Februrary 10th 2023, and there must be 12 months between the first and the last CACIB). So we are hoping this title is within reach. ;o) Selma took Nova in juniorhandling in Gothenburg and did a very good job, ending up 2nd in her class (Mini, 10-13 years). It is so great to see the connection between Selma and Nova and we are looking forward to their continued work (and hopefully success) in the juniorhandling…

End of show year 2023

A few weeks ago we attended the last big show of the year, the Danish Kennel Club Winter Wonder Show in Herning. Our big boy Krondal’s T-Rex “Hondo” was entered in champion class and did us very proud by winning Best Male and BOB out of 25 entries. He thereby achieved the title Danish Winner 2023. As a result of Hondo’s show achievements this year, he is Danish Kennel Club Breed Winner 2023, being the DdB with the most points in Danish Kennel Club shows in 2023. Our daughter Selma competed in juniorhandling at the Danish Kennel Club Winter Wonder Show, and although she did a good job, she wasn’t picked for the finals this time. Once again, she showed the wonderful american akita Senseo Supernova and we are so thankful to Kennel Senseo for this opportunity for Selma – they are such a great team! Selma is qualified for…

Int. shows in Roskilde and Rostock, September 2023

Another couple of show weekends are over, this time in Roskilde and Rostock. First, we had a 3-day show weekend in Roskilde on 22-23-24 September. We had entered Krondal’s T-Rex “Hondo” in champion class on Saturday – he was only entered this one day because of the title Copenhagen Winner, that was awarded on Saturday. And he did very well and ended up Best Male and Best Of Breed with the title Copenhagen Winner 2023. ;o) Selma was entered in juniorhandling all three days in Roskilde with the American Akita “Senseo Supernova”, that she is still working so well with. Again a big field of juniorhandlers with 15-16 handlers in both Mini and Maxi, so more than 30 juniorhandlers were competing all three days. Selma was not picked out for the finals on Friday, but she was picked among the 4 Minis to go in the finals both Saturday and…

DKK Vejen show 19-20 August 2023

Peter and Selma went to the Danish Kennel Club show in Vejen on the 19th and 20th of August – Peter to show Hondo and Selma to participate in juniorhandling. Hondo turned 2 years in July, so he was entered in Open Class and we were hoping that he could achieve the last CAC to become Danish champion. It went very well, Hondo won Best Of Breed (BOB) both days, and can now add the title Danish champion to his list of achievements. Selma was entered in Juniorhandling Mini (10-13 years) both days with the American Akita “Senseo Supernova”. It was a big field – 16 juniorhandlers on Saturday and 12 juniorhandlers on Sunday. But nonetheless, Selma was picked out among the 4 contestants to go through to the finals both days – very well done! ;o) In the finals, the 4 juniorhandlers from the Mini group (10-13 years) compete…

Whiskey club champion and Ramona leaving

Good news from the PBGV show team. ;o) Our daughter Selma showed Whiskey at the Basset Club show a few weeks back, and she achieved the 4th Club Certificate – thereby making Whiskey new Danish Club Champion. Selma has been showing Whiskey since his very first show (when she was 10 years old) and we are obviously so proud of her achievements with Whiskey in the show ring – she has become a very skilled handler now at the age of only 12. ;o) Our little PBGV puppy Ramona turned 8 weeks old on Friday and has now moved to her new family. As always, the house seems quiet and empty when puppies are leaving, but we are more or less back to normal and the remaining dogs are enjoying the extra (normal level of) attention they are now getting again. ;o)

Ramona playdate

Our little PBGV puppy Ramona is 6 weeks old tomorrow. Due to the fact that she doesn’t have any siblings, we have been looking for a litter of puppies, that she could visit and play with. We were so fortunate that Kennel Tofthus (Mette Toft) invited Ramona to visit her litter of cairn terriers – 4 boys, 10 days older than Ramona. We have visited them 3 times now, once a week from Ramona was almost 4 weeks old. The last visit was yesterday, and allthough the terrier boys are 10 days older and on their own home turf, Ramona had her tail up and was curious and interested in the other puppies – so lovely to see. <3 Videos below are from the visit yesterday. Also further below a video of Ramona and our DdB female Valka. <3
