OUR NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION

Palm Springs Kennel Club Show Grounds

We’ve taken down the Christmas decorations and put the visiting family on flights back to their homes and we are now ready to get back to our world, the world of AKC conformation shows.  However, like an athlete that has just completed a marathon, we shall take it easy at first.

This coming week we have just 15 all breed shows in six locations.  However we start the year with what could be the biggest single show we will see all year, the Saturday Palm Springs Kennel Club show in Indio CA.  With nearly 3400 dogs entered in the regular classes, a dog getting a Group Four there could collect more points than some of the BIS winners elsewhere in the US this weekend.  In addition to the two giant all breed shows, there are seven limited breed shows on Thursday and Friday.

Many in the dog world spend much of January in Florida where there are more dog shows than BINGO tournaments this month, with 13 shows from the 7th through the 22nd.  It all starts this week with four shows in Ormond Beach, just north of Daytona Beach,  on Friday with two hosted by the Greater Daytona Dog Fanciers Association followed by two courtesy of the Jacksonville Dog Fanciers' Association.  

Rounding out the week are three shows in Tallmadge OH with the Columbiana County Kennel Club & the Rubber City Kennel Club, two in Pendleton SC with the Clemson Kennel Club, two in St Paul MN with the Land O' Lakes Kennel club, and two in Glen Rose TX, 80 miles SW of Dallas, with the Nolan River Kennel Club.  So make this your New Year’s resolution, attend more AKC dog shows this year!

2010 NUMBER ONE DOG ALL BREEDS

GCH CH J’Cobe Kemosabe Vigilante Justice

We always like to ring in the New Year with a bang and we couldn’t have asked for a more thrilling end to the year that the down to the wire rankings race.  For most of the year the Smooth Fox Terrier, GCH CH J’Cobe Kemosabe Vigilante Justice, led the field, though he was constantly challenged by the Number Two Dog, the Pekingese, GCH CH PalaceGarden Malachy, and the Number Three Dog, the Irish Setter, GCH CH Shadagee Caught Red Handed.  By November, the Smooth & Peke had pulled ahead of the field.

Weekend after weekend the Peke, Malachy, would come within one win of overtaking the Smooth, Dodger, only to have Dodger answer with another BIS.  However, on November 20th Malachy would grab the top prize at the big Lima Kennel Club show in Columbus OH and take the Number One ranking.  It was beginning to look like the determined little Peke would remain there for the duration of the year.  However, there is nothing like Terrier Tenacity and Dodger and owner/handler Amy Booth would doggedly pursue Malachy until they finally regained the top spot on December 18th  with a huge win at the Richland County Kennel Club show in Cleveland OH.  He would double down the next day taking the BIS at the Western Reserve Kennel Club show.  It all came down to the last week of the year and the Final Four shows in San Mateo CA.  Malachy fired the opening salvo on the 28th with a BIS at the Oakland Kennel Club show.  However the Peke’s valiant final rally would fail and Dodger would finish at the head of the line for 2010.

Dodger first caught our eye in January of 2009 when he went three for four in Florida against the 2009 Crufts winner, the Sealyham Terrier, CH Efbe’s Hidalgo At Goodspice.  We immediately made him a DOG2WATCH.  He has since gone on to become the winningest Smooth Fox Terrier in history, winning 105 all breed BIS including 74 this year alone.  Dodger was bred by William Dalling & Stacy Turner, is owned by Sandra & Howard Hoffen & Phil & Amy Booth.  Our congratulations to them all on a splendid campaign and career.  We also offer out sincere thanks to Team Dodger for providing us with one of the most exciting years in recent history.

FINAL SHOW OF THE YEAR

GCH CH Avalon Frontier Sleepnlady Webber

The 2010 race to Number One Dog All Breeds came down to the wire at the San Mateo Kennel Club Show.  Rick Gschwender gathered the final final seven  in San Mateo CA.   They included the Norwegian Elkhound, GCH CH Vin-Melca’s Voyager, the Smooth Fox Terrier, GCH CH Slyfox Sneaks A Peek, the Pekingese, GCH CH PalaceGarden Malachy, and the Bouvier des Flandres, GCH CH Avalon Frontier Sleepnlady Webber.  We will bring you the full lineup shortly.

Best went to the Bouvier, Webber, one of our original DOGS2WATCH.  Webber and handler Larry Fenner have collected eight BIS this year.    We have heard that Larry  Fenner will be leaving the professional handling ranks to take another job.  It's a big loss to the show ring.  Hopefully we will still see Larry frequently.  We find it fitting that he should cap his handling career with a BIS over the toughest competition AKC has to offer.

The win decides the National Title of Number One Dog All Breeds of 2010.  Congratulations to the little engine who could, the winningest Smooth Fox Terrier in history, GCH CH J’Cobe Kemosabe Vigilante Justice!

The Kennel Club of Salinas is the third of our Final Four shows of the year as we hurtle toward a decision on who will be 2010’s Top Dog.  Today’s BIS was called by Carl Gomes who had his pick of the Sussex Spaniel, GCH CH Seamist On A Windward Tack RN, yesterday’s BIS, the Whippet, GCH CH Starline’s Chanel, the Portuguese Water Dog, GCH CH Aviators Luck Be A Lady, the Smooth Fox Terrier, GCH CH Slyfox Sneaks A Peek, the Pekingese, GCH CH PalaceGarden Malachy, the Bulldog, GCH CH Bodhi's Light, Life, And Love, and the Bouvier des Flandres, GCH CH Avalon Frontier Sleepnlady Webber.

He chose the Whippet, Chanel.  Cha Cha and handler Lori Wilson have repeatedly shown they can can hang with the big boys, showing in every venue in the US and winning several of the marquee events in the US.  Chanel now makes tomorrow’s San Mateo Kennel Club show a must see for us all.

Our count down to the New Year continued today in San Mateo CA with the Santa Cruz Kennel Club’s show.  It was judge Robert Frost’s turn to gather the seven best of the day.  They were the German Shorthaired Pointer, GCH CH Robin Crest Great Expectations, the Whippet, GCH CH Starline’s Chanel, the Portuguese Water Dog, GCH CH Aviator’s Luck Be A Lady, the Kerry Blue Terrier, GCH CH Trozian Onyx At Torum, yesterday’s BIS, the Pekingese, GCH CH PalaceGarden Malachy, the Bulldog, GCH CH Globe And Anchor Sgt Iron Mike, and the German Shepherd Dog, CH Kaleef's Lasting Impression.

His BIS was the Whippet, Chanel.  Chanel and handler Lori Wilson have had a habit of winning big shows since they hit the scene at Palm Springs last January.   Chanel and Lori have locked down the Number One Hound title for the year and are currently the Number Seven Dog All Breeds.  Who will be the Number One Dog All Breeds?  That is still up for grabs wuth only two shows to go.  Check with us tomorrow to see who sits where.

SAN MATEO DAY ONE

GCH CH PalaceGarden Malachy

Many of the nation’s airports have been closed due to a holiday week blizzard.  One that is operating is the San Francisco International Airport (SFO), which is actually south of the fabled City by the Bay.  Just a few minutes south of SFO is the town of San Mateo, site of the only AKC dog shows remaining this year.  The four day set often draws dogs from all over the US.  This year the quartet of shows will determine who is the Number One Dog All Breeds for 2010.

The Oakland Kennel Club opened the Final Four and had Jeffrey Pepper in their final ring with the German Shorthaired  Pointer, GCH CH Robin Crest Great Expectations, the Norwegian Elkhound, GCH CH Vin-Melca’s Voyager, the Mastiff, CH Lexington Divine’s Put Me In, Coach, the Smooth Fox Terrier, GCH CH J’Cobe Vigilante Justice, the Pekingese, GCH CH PalaceGarden Malachy, the Bulldog, GCH CH Globe And Anchor Sgt Iron Mike, and the Bouvier des Flandres, GCH CH Avalon Frontier Sleepnlady Webber,

Round One went to the nation’s Number Two Dog all Breeds, the Peke, Malachy.  We don’t have exact numbers yet, but we do know that the win was not enough to take over the Number One position.  However, this is the first of four.  There are three days of excitement yet to go.

NEW YEAR'S EVE IN SAN MATEO

As you may know by now there are no shows this coming weekend, but we do have four pivotal shows scheduled for the last week of the year.  San Mateo CA just south of San Francisco will be the site for the Oakland Kennel Club, the Santa Cruz Kennel Club,  the Kennel Club Of Salinas, & San Mateo Kennel Club’s equivalent of the Iowa Caucuses, four shows that have come to represent the last chance to grab an advantage in the national rankings.  The fun begins on Tuesday, the 28th and continues through New Year’s Eve.

Here’s our chart to let you know where everyone stands going into the Holidays.  You will note that the excitement isn’t just about who’s going to be Number One.  The bottom six dogs are all racing for a higher finish.   We will be here to pop the bubbly and tell you who finishes the year as Number One Dog All Breeds.

ALLENTOWN PA

GCH CH Fireside’s Spontaneous Combustion

Our Monday morning mop up feels like the morning after the end of the play offs.  This past four days have seen some of the most anticipated match ups all year.  While we have focused much of our attention on Cleveland and it’s four shows there were lots of drama elsewhere.

In Allentown PA the Lehigh Valley Kennel Club and the Delaware Water Gap Kennel Club gathered over 3000 dogs for two days of fierce competition.  On Saturday the LVKC asked Dr Michael Manning to choose a BIS from the Wirehaired Pointing Griffon, GCH CH Fireside’s Spontaneous Combustion, the Scottish Deerhound, GCH cH Foxcliffe Hickory Wind, the Bernese Mountain Dog, GCH CH Adesa The Heat Is On, the Cairn Terrier, GCH CH Maverston Double Dutch, the Maltese, GCH CH Ta-Jon’s  Just Bee-ing Silly, the Schipperke, CH DeLamer Point Break, and the Rough Collie, CH Milas Latin Lover.

He chose the WPG, Buster.  Buster and handler Michelle Scott have been  working their way up the rankings lately and are now the Number 14 Dog All Breeds with eleven BIS.

GCH CH PalaceGarden Malchy

As we reported here yesterday, the Pekingese, GCH CH PalaceGarden Malchy, spent Sunday in Allentown picking up the Best In Show at the DWGKC’s event.  Challenging Malachy in Jacqueline Stacy’s final were the Weimaraner, CH Northwoods Send Money Honey, the above named Deerhound, the Bernese Mountain Dog, CH Liebenhund’s Who’s Your Daddy, the American Staffordshire Terrier, CH Castle Rock’s Sbigstaff Mad About You, the Standard Poodle, Apacchi Jungle Fever, and the aforementioned Collie.  While we can’t be sure of the exact number of points that Malchy now trails the Number One Dog, we calculate that he will need to pickup around 1400 points to catch the leader.  We suspect there is a plane ticket to San Francisco in Malachy’s Christmas Stocking.

CENTRAL FLORIDA KC SATURDAY

GCH CH PalaceGarden Malachy

Those of you who have followed this blog since the beginning know that it got started as a result of the exciting competition for the National title in 2008.  That year it came down to the last week of the year between the beautiful Giant Schnauzer, CH Galilee's Pure Of Spirit, and the magnificent Pointer, CH Cookieland Seasyde Hollyberry.  The lead changed hands a couple of times during the latter part of the year, but it was the Giant Schnauzer, Spirit, who prevailed by the slim margin of 755 points, a 0.64 percent difference.  However, the Pointer had 25 more BIS than the Giant.  So which was the best show dog of 2008?  We can’t tell you.  We do know that show after show they thrilled and excited us and made us happy to be part of this sport.

We reported earlier that on Saturday the Pekingese, GCH CH PalaceGarden Malchy was Peter Baynes’ BIS at the day one show of the Central Florida Kennel Club.  Joining Malchy and owner/handler  David Fitzpatrick were the German Wirehaired Pointer, GCH CH Star K’s Mile Hi Valentine, the Greyhound, GCH CH GrandCru Clos Erasmus, the Boxer, GCH CH Winfall Brookwood Styled Dream, the Skye Terrier, CH Cragsmoor Buddy Goodman, the Bulldog, GCH CH Bully Hills James Dean, and the Australian Shepherd, GCH CH Equinox, Ad Astra.

We have heard that Malachy and owner/handler David Fitzpatrick have taken another BIS today in Allentown PA at the Delaware Water Gap Kennel Club show.  The win will bring them within 1300 points of the Number One title.   Who will end up Number One?  We will be the first to tell you.

WESTERN RESERVE KENNEL CLUB

GCH CH J’Cobe Kemosabe Vigilante Justice

Roger Gifford closed the four day weekend in Cleveland OH today, calling the BIS for the Western Reserve Kennel  Club.  His options were the Irish Setter, GCH CH Shadagee Caught Red Handed, the Whippet, GCH CH Starline’s Chanel, the Rottweiler, GCH CH Cammcastle’s Friar Tuck, the Smooth Fox Terrier, GCH CH J’Cobe Kemosabe Vigilante Justice, the Pekingese, GCH CH Pequest One Moment In Time, the Standard Poodle, GCH CH Dawin Spitfire, and the Bouvier des Flandres, GCH CH Quiche’s Glamour Girl.

JACKSON MISISSIPPI

GCH CH Torquay Midnight Confession

We haven’t heard much from Jackson MS where the  Mississippi State Kennel Club and the  Brandon Kennel Club Of Mississippi set up Thursday for a four day Southern good time.  However, we awake this morning to the news that the 15” Beagle, GCH CH Torquay Midnight Confession, was Leslie Rogers’ BIS at the BKCM’s day one show.

RANKINGS LEAP FROG

GCH CH J’Cobe Kemosabe Vigilante Justice

Our Top Two Dogs continue to raise the stakes in this year’s rankings race.  Today in Cleveland OH, the Smooth Fox Terrier, GCH CH J’Cobe Kemosabe Vigilante Justice, took back the Number One Dog All Breeds title, winning BIS at the Richland County Kennel Club show. 

Dodger and owner handler Amy Booth were challenged in Beth Speich’s final by the Irish Setter, GCH CH Shadagee Caught Red Handed, the Whippet, GCH CH Starline’s Chanel, the Alaskan Malamute, GCH CH Catanya’s Latin Lover, yesterday’s BIS, the Toy Poodle, GCH CH Smash Jp Moon Walk, the Standard Poodle, GCH CH Dawin Spitfire and the Old English Sheepdog, GCH CH Lambluv’s Gambolon Bl;ue Thunder.

We also hear that the Pekingese, GCH CH PalaceGarden Malachy,  was Peter Baynes’ Best In Show at today’s Central Florida Kennel Club show.  The win will keep the race exceeding close with the Smooth Fox, Dodger,  somewhere around 500 to 600 points ahead of the Peke, Malachy,  at this point.  We hope tp have exact point totals tomorrow.

All we can say we have been blessed this year with a great group of dogs.  Our congratulations to all the breeders, owners, and handlers who have given us such a thrill ride this season.
