Lower Mainland Show Report
The Sun didn't feel like showing at Canada's largest dog show so Sunshine got his butt kicked all four days. All I can say is that it was well deserved.
Junior's brother Flash attracted crowds every day and received rave reviews.
It was great to see all my true dog friends and I thank you for your encouraging words about how to motivate Sunshine - some of which were quite humorous.
On a brighter note Patapin Precious Lehua (Roxxi) at exactly 6 months of age won her class two days and went RW female on the third day. She is a bouncy, highly spirited puppy and when she gets it all together she is going to be stunning. Roxxi couldn't have a better home and is owned and cherished by her new mother Kathy Cameron. October 31, 2005
At just 6 months of age Patapin From Sur With Love (Junior) and Patapin Proud Showing Machine (Flash) entered their first show.  It was the large highly competitive London show and in three days Junior went WD, BOW and BOB x3 for 8 points.  Sunshine showed as a Special on the third day and well respected American Judge Dorothy Hutchinson gave Junior the breed over his Am Can Ch cousin!  Junior then went on to win the Puppy Group.  They said it couldn't be done but Junior has a short hard back and movement to die for!!
Flash went RWD x3 and Best BBE in Breed and then best BBE in Group!  They are two very beautiful black brothers. October 17, 2005

My apologies Ms Gabby, I underestimated you! June 26, 2005
Sunshine entered the ring for the first time since February. In only two days of showing he was awarded a Group 3 and BPIG by Judge Terry Carter and another group 3 and BPIG by Judge Elaine Boutwell.
Gabby is taking the "slow boat" to her championship. She is what I call my second string and is not destined for a specials career. In two days of showing, she went WB for 1 point. She is now sitting on 9 points and is obviously in no rush <G>. June 19, 2005
Gabby showed for two days on the weekend. Half her competition got disqualified so instead of finishing she came home with just one point. Gabby now has 8 points.

2004

On December 12, 2004, Mouse took the Breed over Specials under Judge Jack Ireland for 2 points!
One of the Specials defeated by Mouse was his brother Lee. At barely 7 months of age, Lee is more interested in having fun in the breed ring. Lee will be going to shows as an observer and enthusiastic supporter of Mouse until he is mature enough to re-enter the ring as a Special.
Lee will be the minpin at ringside, clapping his paws wildly as Mouse struts his stuff in the ring!
