In connection with the world show I had the great pleasure to see some of the "grand kids":
From Russia I had been looking very much forward to see Multichampion Zalazar Yahoo's son, Ruch Alekta Prima Viking.
and from Finland Dkch Tam O'Shanter's In The Nick Of Time's daughter from Finland, Fich Zalazar Hard to Get aka Thyra.
It came as a big surprise to me to realize she is already 7 years old as in my eyes she looks much younger. I owe a THANK YOU to Susíe, who let me show Thyra Sunday.
This time the trip went to Norway, where there was a International show in Kristiansand. Judge was Birgita Kremser, Slovenia. At the show ground Dorte Jensen, Kennel Sweet Beauty, and I did meet some familiar faces and got to know some new people. There was a very good atmosphere alongside the show ring during the whole show.
I had brought Sweet Beauty Keswich Codlin along. He won his class and was placed as 4th. best male.
Sensei's Charlie's Angles was entered in open class, where there was 11 bitches entered. Beside winning open class Diva was first best bitch and then BEST OF BREED. By winning both the CC and the Cacib her titles are now; Danish Champion, Clubchampion, Letvian Champion, Norwegian Champion og International Champion :-)
Sweet Beauty Keswich Codlin is winning "intermedia class". Dkch Lvch Sensei's Charlie's Angles is winning champion class and also her last club CC, which makes her club champion.

21.03.2010 - DTK, judge Jack Watson, UK:

Dorte Jensen, Kennel Sweet Beauty, and I wanted to go to Crufts and show Dkch Lvch Sensei's Charlie's Angles aka Diva and her son, Sweet Beauty Keswich Codlin aka Codlin. The judge was Sue Dolan, UK.
Codlin was entered in "Yearling dog", where 12 dogs was entered. Codlin was still in the ring after the judge's first "goodbye", but wasn't placed. Codlin was enjoying the ring that much the speed got a little too fast, but I still think he showed nicely.
Diva was only allowed into "Open bitch", where 15 bitches was entered. Diva is winning the class and she is very "on her toes" all the time. As you can see in the picture the very pretty bitch, Honeyhall Hide N Seek, from Ian Show was no. 2 in the class.
Now we are competing for BCC and RBCC ! The class winning bitches are lined up with Diva as first and they are all send around the ring after which a bitch down the line is placed as 2nd. behind Diva, which made us think we got the BCC and the bitch behind was winning the RBCC, but this wasn't the case.
Instead the judge is looking very long time at the bitch behind Diva and down the line. After what to me felt like forever the judge goes down the line and award the BCC down the line and then again a very long time is passing before Diva is awarded the RBCC.
Beeing placed in the spot where the DCC was given and not getting the BCC was at the moment disappointing, but after a while and some thinking it over again, we agree that even though we of course "wanted" the BCC we had to be proud of being awarded the RBCC at Crufts.
The judge wrote about Diva:
"1st. Jensen’s DK/LV CH Sensei’s Charlie’s Angles, very pretty wheaten of correct size for the breed standard. She demanded attention. Lovely head with a correct mouth, neck and shoulders, dead level topline, good tailset. An excellent mover with true front movement and plenty of drive from the rear. Never stopped showing. Reserve Bitch C.C."
The year 2010 began with a very good weekend as Sweet Beauty Keswich Codlin first at DKK International under judge Rainer Vuorinen from Finland and then at DTK under judge Rita Kadike-Skadina from Latvia wins the junior class.
Sweet Beauty Keswich Codlin's mother, Dkch Lvch Sensei's Charlie's Angles, ends this weekend by winning BEST OF BREED.
