Success at the International Dog Show in Ontario!

News Flash!

Jacki and her gorgeous white Standard Poodle “Stanzi” won Stanzi’s International Championship at the International All Breed Canine Association dog show.
Stanzi was evaluated by THREE different judges who all gave her a “VI” rating, that’s the highest honor offered.
Tracy, one of Riverside grooming’s valued customer who has three gorgeous dogs she gets groomed regularly was at the show too. Thank you Tracy for snapping this great shot of Stanzi strutting her stuff if the ring for the judge. Stanzi’s checking out the crowd to make sure everyone catches her moves.
It was a beautiful day and there were so many wonderful and unusual dog breeds to admire. Great family fun in a park setting.
Good job Stanzi!

Valri’ and Mimi are Top at UKC

Posted on by

Admiration Charmed I’m Sure (Valri’) obtained her UKC Grand Championship status and is now holding steady at #2 UKC Standard Poodle in the world. Her sister, Admiration Come Fly with Me (Mimi) just took Breed (Best Standard Poodle) in a recent UKC dog show over 11 other females.

The United Kennel Club (UKC) classifies the Standard Poodle in their Gun Dog group. Showing a Poodle at UKC shows differs from showing a Poodle in AKC shows in that Poodles don’t have to have the “fancy hair cut”, known as a Continental, and one cannot be a professional Handler. UKC recognizes many unusual breeds that are not recognized by the AKC. Shows are lots of fun and is a good family activity to get involved in.

Congratulations Valri’ and Mimi!

Grand Champ Cert Small

Valri’s First Championship

Posted on by

We’re so thrilled! Lovely Valri got her first title as Show Champion with the United Kennel Club. Here’s the wonderful email her mommy had sent to us along with her certificate. Mimi’s next…

“Hi.  The first of the girls’ official UKC Championship certificates arrived
in the mail today.  It is attached.  Mimi’s won’t be far behind.  She
finished her Championship with 300 points (!) at the shows in Manassas, VA.
As I think I told you, Valri’ already has 4 of the 5 requisite Champion wins
towards her Grand Championship.  She’s actually won Champion of Champions 6 shows in a row, but 2 of them were 1 Champion short for points.  We’re doing a cluster of UKC shows in April and/or May.  That should seal the deal for Valri’s Grand C’ship and Mimi is bound to leap forward as a Champion, too.

“We have 2 AKC shows this week-Thursday 3/19 and Friday 3/20 in Edison, NJ at the Raritan Center.  Historically, the entries haven’t been very high at
these shows but this year they are both majors.  There are 15 open bitches
and 2 Special bitches entered each day.  In NJ, it only takes 11 bitches for
a 3 point major.  Both of these girls are in heat.  It is the 3rd time for
each of them-they are overachievers.  At least it will be out of the way in
time for PCA.

“Hope things are good at Admiration Ranch!
Love, Lucy”
