ONE WEEKEND...TWO BROTHERS...TWO CHAMPIONSHIPS!

MATTAPONI KENNEL CLUB
Manassas,  Va

Sunday, May 23, 2010

What a wonderful weekend for us and Colleen, our boys got back to back Championships!
Tommy's babies Argon and Rupert, thought Manassas, Virginia would be a very nice place to get that final point for their championship; Rupert finished yesterday, and not to be outdone by his brother, Argon finished today, and topped Rupert by taking BOS!  Gemmi took the breed again, and finished FOURTH in GROUP!  Stella took RWB...what a wonderful bunch of dobies!

Now for the coincidences... Few people that have been within voice range of Edwin,  have escaped unscathed before receiving an earful of Civil War history.  All of us who had pained under the innumerable battles and generals from the north and south , while looking frantically for escape routes hoping to excuse ourselves, naturally could not but notice some of the coincidences.
Rupert's Majors were in Harrisburg, first at the "Blue and Gray Cluster", and the following day at the "Mason Dixon Kennel Club"... and where does he finish?  In Manassas Va!!!

HABEMUS CHAMPION! CH.TRIADEL'S THORIUM!

MATTAPONI KENNEL CLUB.
Manassas, VA

Saturday, May 22, 2010

We are ecstatic to announce that Rupert, finally caught that point that had eluded him the last four shows, (Ludwig Corner, Lebanon, and the Cherry Blossom Cluster).  Against a larger AmBred class, he and Argon (in Open), both took their class and proceeded to the WD Competition.  Colleen was very generous, and instead of taking her own dog back in in the ring, she took Rupert and had Argon handled by someone else.  Rupert took WD, and BOW  (I don't know how many points, all we need is one).   Gemmi took BOB, and placed sixth in the Group.  Tomorrow is another show-day, but Rupert will be relaxing, so we are going to cross all our fingers and toes and hope that Argon finishes... Go Argon!!!!  Good thoughts and best wishes also go to Quincy who is entered next week in Ohio, he needs his majors, and if he wins, he'll win BIG since there are about fifty, I say 50 dogs entered!  Go Quincy!!!

THE RED ROSE CLASSIC...OTHERWISE KNOWN AS "DEJA' VU"

LANCASTER KENNEL CLUB
Lebanon, Pa.

Sunday, May 16, 2010


Judge Mr tom Hale, who had given WD to Rupert in Tallmage, OH,  checking Rupert out.



Once more, like last Friday at the Chester Valley KC, Rupert goes against Sharjets Salute To Carry Back with Carissa DeMilta.





The blonde lady with the blue jacket, who shows Great Danes, will take Rupert back in the ring for RWD competition, but I think that the judge had already decided on the puppy.  I saw the way he had been looking at him during the WD competition and knew he liked him a lot.







One last look from the judge, and it's a repeat of Friday, with Rupert going second.



It's Argon's turn now, and he does very well...





Everybody back in for WD, and again "deja vu"...



... Sharjets Salute To Carry Back takes WD, so  once more Rupert goes back in the ring, but this time RWD goes to the red puppy!



BOB competition, Gemmi is in the ring...


...all the winner of both sexes are competing...



... Colleen had "words" with Gemmi, so she knows better than misbehave...



Everybody waiting for the judge's verdict...and it's Gemmi Again!

American Bred Class,  Sharjets Salute To Carry Back handled by Carissa De Milta, and Triadel's Thorium, (Rupert) with Colleen.  



Judge Mrs Patricia A. Mowbray-Morgan, checking the boys.





Colleen doing her best, as usual, to make Rupert shine...



yeap!  All teeth present, and accounted for...



...showing his movement forward...



...and backward...



...one more look, and it's Sharjets Salute To Carry Back First, and Rupert Second.



Now it's Argon's turn in the Open Class,



the judge checks him out, and he's showing her "his stuff"



nice stance, good muscle tone...and he takes First.



Now is time to choose Winner Dog,



all the representatives from the different classes are in the ring vying for Winner.



All do their very best, and Sharjets Salute To Carry Back, takes WD.



Since Rupert had lost to Sharjets Salute To Carry Back, he goes back in the ring for RWD...and he gets it.



This is the competition for BOB, Colleen is showing Gemmi, and the other specials are Mi-Ti's Three Cheers with Carissa and Ch Dillon's Midnight Rambler RN.



One more look...



...Gemmi looks her usual very best...



...and she takes the Breed,  Ch Dillon's Midnight Rambler RN BOW, and Mi-Ti's Three Cheers, BOS.
