Orsett show 6th Sept

We took Tiva and squims out for the day, to get them used to, the husstle and bustle of a county show, and entered them into the Dog show , Tiva got a very highly commended in Prettiest bitch and came 1st in the junior 12 to 18 months class.

We also had a go at the agility, Squims was a bit unsure with the height of things, but Tiva loved every minute of it, they both came away with a clear round certificate... We had a go at fly ball too with Tiva, and she was great at it, something i may look at doing with her in the future.....

Skipton show,24th August 2008

Newton grange Bank

After alot of shall we cancel or shall we hold it, the weather held off long enough for us to get onto the field, be it , it poured down once we were on, we were not defeated and went ahead with the show.

Not the Best of Days for the Honiahaka Dogs and Squims Hated the main judge and also the Dog of the year judge, and wouldnt let either of them look at him let alone touch him !!!!!. So he done rubbish at this show.

Results as follows:

Mahlek Kaskae @ Honiahaka ( aka Kas) 3rd Neutered Male, 5th Most Handsome, 1st Best Smile dog/owner ( well done Georgie)

Fun Day  27th July 2008

The Weather was wonderful ( Maybe a bit too hot), and the venue was fantastic, we had a great turnout, meeting up with old friends and meeting new ones, the dogs of course all enjoyed themselves, and being able to be let off safely was a added bonus. The Doggy Disco was Fun on the saturday night, with lots of dancing ( and drinking) , a great night im sure was had by all.

 

Honiahaka Kennels Done well in the show ring again.

With Bear getting a 4th in yearling with Andy then winning Best White NI in show.

Saskia Got a 2nd in Adult Bitch, but was a bit of a minx when it came to her run up ( must work on that!!)

And Squims ( Quimiq) won the Yearling Class then went on to win Best in show, Qualifiing for NIS Dog of the year, with our little cruzie getting reserve best in show and Best puppy in show Qualifing for NIS Pup of the year.

 

I didnt enter the novelty classes, as i was asked to judged these. I will say it was one of the hardest things ive done for a long time, as they were all lovely dogs and all should of come 1st.

 June 3rd- sunday

The Northern Inuit Society's Essex show 

"Wow What a weekend"

Camping started with a few friends turning up friday, with the rest on saturday,

 a vast improvement on last years camping.

We had BBQ on saturday night along with 3 birthdays (1 being georgies 13th), a fantastic time was had by all.

Sunday followed with the dog show, unlucky for us we were not able to enter Anya and Saskia, Saskia due to her having her puppies and Anya had a accident and was lame, so poor georgie had to take bouncing kaskae into some classes instead,and he can be a handfull at the moment (its an age thing) ,

 But she done fabulous with him,getting 2nd in Junior Handler and winning Best 6 legs.

 I was also very pleased coming 2nd in best yearling with him too.

Moley had her first go at showing, Coming 4th in Minor Puppy, 3rd in Cutest Puppy and 2nd in best brace with yetty.

Yetty was a little star with Georgie, Coming 3rd in Minor Puppy,  3rd in most appealing eyes, 1st in cutest puppy, 3rd in dog judge would like to take home, and winning Fancy dress.

She then went on to Win Best Novelty in show  not bad for a 12 week old pup. Well done Georgie and Yetty.

The Northern Inuit society show

Sunday 20th August 2006

 We entered Mahlek Olakhota Saskia, in the special yearling bitch class, and to our amazement she won this class, she also went on to win  prettiest bitch in the novelty class,

We then had the championship class, where all the winners from all the main classes could be judged for best in show,(not a chance we thought), Well to our total amazement we won BEST IN SHOW  and then went on to win DOG OF THE YEAR 2006, what a fantastic day for our little girl.

Georgie, Entered Mahlek Olakhota Anya, into some classes this day too, She came 3rd in best 6 legs, and then to all of our delight went on to win Junior handler, we are so proud of her as Anya is not normaly an easy dog to handle (well done georgie).

Mahlek Kaskae Came along for the ride, but as he was too young to enter the main classes, he was allowed to do the puppy parade, as was such a good boy.
