December 29th, national all breed "Christmas show", Letohallen

Today I'm probably the PROUDEST breeder in the world!
Bazinga A Dance With Dragons "Sansa" and Bazinga A Storm of Swords "Storm" (9 months & 1 day old) were shown for the very first time in junior class at the all breed national "Christmas show" outside Oslo (total entry app. 1500 dogs). 5 Pharaohs were judged by Mr. Leif Lehmann Jørgensen (Denmark) who placed Storm as BEST MALE with his first CC and BOS! Sansa surprised us all by winning BEST BITCH, beating champions, with her first CC, and BEST OF BREED! Thanks to everyone who cheered for us ringside, and a special thanks to Cornelia Undheim for handling Storm in the BOB-competition!
What a great end to a great year!

Summary of 2012:

Izzie has had yet another great year in the show ring and on the lure coursing field. In April she won BOB and LC CC at the International LC trial in Trøgstad, Norway, where she also became the first Pharaoh Hound in Scandinavia to win Best In Field! She also won a Danish LCCC at the LC trial in Gilleleje in September.

She started out her show year by winning seven straight BOB wins in Norway, including the Norwegian Podenco Specialty where she also won BEST IN SHOW for the second year in a row! She was also awarded BOB at Oslo International KC Show the following day. These two shows had the biggest PH entries last year.

Izzie has had a wonderful year abroad as well; In April we travelled to Vaasa INT. KC Show, Finland, where Izzie won BOB with CC and CACIB, and became a Finnish and Nordic Champion under breed specialist Mr. Jarmo Vuorinen. She was also Group 4th at this show.

Izzie was also shown three times in Denmark last year, which resulted in 3 BOB wins. At Bornholm INT KC Show Izzie was BOB with CC and CACIB and became a Danish Champion under breed specialist Mrs. Annette Bystrup. She was alsp Group 4th at this show. A few weeks later we went to the Danish Sighthound Specialty in Nørresundby, where Izzie not only was BOB, but also BEST IN SHOW 3rd! Her third Danish show was at the Sighthound Specialty in Gilleleje, where Izzie was BOB and BEST IN SHOW under Mr. Miklos Levente from Hungary!

 

Izzie was Norway's #2 LC Sighthound of the Year 2012 and #1 Top Winning Pharaoh Hound in conformation (breed system!) and #2 KC System (she was only entered at three KC Shows which resulted in 3 BOB wins).
