Looking on Fosse Data and Higham Press there are a few shows towards the end of the year that are open for entry but for Canaan Dogs only three champ shows are listed so far. A question on a social media platform asked “What about qualifying for Crufts 2021? With most Champ Shows being cancelled…
The Kennel Club has recommended that all shows are now cancelled or possibly postponed until the end of June, including all training and other events. This has had a huge impact on the Canine world as well as the general population. Personally plans for showing abroad have been curtailed and refunds are underway. The work…
So I have stood myself in the naughty corner as I missed the notes deadline last week for the Crufts results. We showed in Hall 1 which seemed for crowed than in past years. Zena Thorn Andrews had 7 entries and all were present. Best of Breed, Best Bitch and Best Veteran went to Ellen…
Last weekend was a busy one here so apologies for the gap. We attended a handing seminar hosted by Mid Herts Gun Dog Society. Guest speaker Mr David Alcorn presented a very informative day. I think no matter how long we have been showing our dogs, sometimes a day like this is of great value….
With the joys of the internet we can have a quick review of shows and judges so far for this year that are having Canaan Dog Classes. I will start with Championship Shows. Next this year is Crufts at the NEC, Birmingham on Thursday 5th March. Judge Mrs Zena Thorn-Andrews has 7 Canaan Dogs entered….
Westminster – The show of the year for the USA and it’s been accompanied again by snow. There were four Canaans entered and one absentee. I expressed my surprise at such a low entry and the increased likely hood of snow was mentioned and the fact that it is a difficult show to attend, were…
The Utility Breeds Association of Wales held its open shown on Saturday 1st of Feb 2020 at the leisure centre in Tredegar. The Judge Mr Terence D D Balfour-Burgess had an entry of 5 canaans with one absentee. He found his Best of Breed in our Sulu, Micha de Solemel at Nizzana (Imp Fra) and…
I have been informed that the Darlington and District Canine Society have included Canaan Classes for the first time. They will be on the 1st Feb to be held at the Louisa Centre, Front Street, Stanley, Durham. Sadly this also clashes with Utility Breeds Association of Wales show that has supported the breed with Canaan…
Well Manchester came and went – Canaan Dogs were judged on Thursday 16th which just so happened to be the day that the Drs decided our Lawrence could be discharged home. After 6 months in hospital it was an amazing day for us all and sincerest apologies to Judge Mr Ernie Patterson for absence but…
I can start these notes with a well done to Mrs Minto and her home bred puppy Anacan Invincible. Although Boston & District Canine Society do not schedule Canaan Classes we do usually enter and so had Mrs Minto. This year due to our son’s illness we were not able to attend but under Judge…
My sister (Anne Barclay) has been a little unwell and I volunteered to walk her Portuguese Pointer as he is only 19months and likes his walks. A very different outlook to the Canaan Dogs, although he does sometimes think he is an honorary Canaan as it is also a breed that has not been overly…
