Sadly, due to a number of reasons we were unable to make the last show of the year, BUBA at Stafford on Sat 4th Dec, apologies to Chris Quantrill. With our three entries absent, there were still six dogs present. The final results were Mrs Mintos, Anacan Invincible Best Dog and Best of Breed, Reserve…
Welcome to Winter, we are in no doubt that the seasons are certainly now embracing more wintery times. The change of the clocks is now very obvious, darkness has settled upon us by 1615. Storm Arwen gave most of us a battering, leaving huge piles of leaves now needing collecting but until that’s done the…
Greetings, Autumn is definitely with us now, with a drop in temperature and piles of golden leaves for the dogs to dash through on our walks. With most shows now having caught up a little, for us there is a slight lull in news. The Nordic Open Show at Ryton on Dunsmore is our next…
Hello dear readers, here we are back on track and as promised previously I have results and information from America on The Morris and Essex Dog Show. Geraldine R Dodge was the youngest daughter of William Avery Rockerfeller Jnr and when she married Marcellus Dodge, they we considered the wealthiest newlywed couple in the country….
Good morning to all. Apologies for the gap and this short missive. This week is just a short update as to the upcoming shows with Canaan Dog Classes. Not always the best place to meet the breed but its always nice to chat about our dogs (pun intended) if you fancy a ‘meet and greet’….
Hello to all Canaan followers. When exhibiting a rare breed with, perhaps, not the best reputation in the showing fraternity, positive feed back is always welcomed. It was truly wonderful to speak to Sue Dykes again at the Scottish Kennel Club. She has judged the breed twice in recent years and has first-hand experience of…
For the first time we ventured north, north and further north in the Autumnal weather. The Scottish Kennel Club were holding their postponed May Championship Show back-to-back with their usual October Show. Canaan Dogs are only scheduled classes for the May show. Our judge was A3 list (non specialist) Mr Keith Nathan. All four entries…
Hello dear readers. This weekend saw another show that still scheduled Canaan Dog classes – the National Dog Show at Stafford County Show Ground. As at Paignton it was split between inside halls and outside rings with tents although no benching. We made two journeys, firstly for Gundog Day with my sister’s Portuguese Pointer –…
Welcome – we have sadly had to miss another show as we were unable to attend Darlington Champ Show this last weekend. We also missed catching up with Julie Kelly and her Raven (Anacan Raven) and are delighted that she has attended a show again. Results are as follows (all owned by Mrs E Minto…
We have our slight gap in show results for Canaan Dogs and have no news from others about any events they have attended. We have Discover Dogs on the horizon, something I have loved to attend in the past. With our dogs on the stand and also to just visit and see what’s new in…
Well, those early bank holiday deadlines did for me again and I missed last week. I can now officially still blame covid on my brain fog, along with being asleep by tea time most days. I think the thing that has hit the headlines most in my showing world this week, was the declaration from…
Many years ago, in the early days of exhibiting Canaan Dogs, there was no import register as there is now, so the first people saw of breed was in the Any Variety Not Separately Classified classes at open and championship shows. Being in the Utility Group we are often along side smaller and fluffier and…
