A look back at 2010

Today is the last day of a year which has again been quite eventful for us, so we think it deserves a brief résumé, like the last one:

Douglas ...

... made all our dreams come true when he won a Group 1 at the international all-breed show in Klagenfurt/Austria in June!

 In 2010, Douglas was only shown three times; he won

 2 x BOB and 1 x BIG,

the title

 Austrian Champion

and has sired two beautiful litters.

Douglas’ daugther Kacy aka Purple Hill’s Arwen ...

... was also extremely successful! She won

5 x CAC in four countries (D/A/CH/LUX),

3 x CACIB in three countries (A/CH/LUX), 1 x res. CACIB, 2 x BOB

and the titles

International Champion

German Champion (VDH & CfBrH)

 Champion of Luxembourg!

Douglas’ daughter Lotte aka Celtsdale Sapphire Star (left) won a CAC and

Douglas’ son Jasper aka Celtsdale Search for a Star (right) ...

Douglas’ daughter Enya aka Celtsdale Shimmering Star

won a CAC,

Douglas’ daughter Lotte aka Celtsdale Sapphire Star

won a CAC and

Douglas’ daughter Frieda aka Celtsdale Friendship ‘n’ Love

Douglas’ kids in Holland,

 Pearly aka Snugglebear Loves Adorable Pearly,

Tark aka Snugglebear Special Friend and

Suus aka Snugglebear Beautiful Star ...

... won the following titles in 2010:

Pearly:

European Junior Winner (VDH)

Dutch Junior Champion

2 x CAC, 1 x res. BIS

Tark:

Dutch Junior Champion

1 x CAC

Suus:

1 x CAC-J!

We are very happy about the great success of Douglas’ children in the show rings in 2010 and would like to give a big thank you to all the people who either showed Douglas-kids themselves or had them handled by someone else!

Please remember that we are always grateful to hear about any success and/or receive any photo of one of our Douglas’ kids, so, wherever you are, please share them with us!

We wish you all the best of luck in 2011!

Last but not least, the highlight among this year’s events, our new family member Frances, got her own page today!

**********

December 10, 2010

 Frances has arrived!

This lovely girl was not in our plans at all, but after we had seen Douglas’ and Sunny’s puppies for the first time at three weeks old, we knew we just had to have her. So we jettisoned all our earlier plans without any regret, and in moved Frances aka Our Own Surprise Leela Sweet Honey.

Our thanks go to Monika and Uwe Halter for their generosity to let us have our favourite girl.

Of course, Frances will also have her own page in a few days!

Douglas wins the reserve CACIB at the international show in Fribourg/Switzerland. It will be upgraded into a CACIB, which means that Douglas now fulfils the requirements for the title

”International Champion” !

The dog who won Champion Class went on to win the group and Best in Show, so in this case, being second didn’t hurt all that much ;-)

Admittedly, it was a hard decision to make, but after Douglas already fulfilled the requirements for the International Ch. title, we did not again participate in the competition for the reserve CACIB on the next day, and another Beardie managed to finish his international title by winning this ticket.
