Yesterday was the NCDH Clubshow. Martine stayed at home with All Stars who's sick. A little weird because Leonieke never showed Dazzle before and it's already 7,5 years ago she showed Masai. But the dogs did amazing! We're really proud they all got an "excellent" because the judge wasn't generous with it.

She also took CACIB and finished her International Championship! The jugde was Mrs. Manola Pogessi (It) and there were 49 dalmatians inscribed.
April 7th
We went for a weekend to the International show in Goes with All Stars (Handsome Friends Bo Darya-Ye Noor). The first day Mr. Sanders (NL) gave him VG and the second day Mrs. M. O'Gorman (IE) gave him only a G. The reason of these qualifications was he was unsettled in the ring. All Stars had trauma at the age of 10 weeks in the ring of honour at a local show to practice. At ringcraft he's doing really well again so hopefully he will get his confidence back soon in the showring. Both days he got a really nice judge report. For the rest he behaved so well at the show, in the hotel, at the beach and the restaurant. He made a lot of new friends and shared his hotelroom with Italian greyhounds Nova and Duca.
April 30th
All Stars invited his brother Noah (Handsome Friends Bold to the Bone) for a trip to the swimming pool for dogs. Noah looked very cool in his mom's rescue vest. The boys had a lot of fun and did really well. After that Noah and his mommy's visit us for cup of coffee. It was such a great day!

Since a few weeks Joy (Handsome Friends Brazilian Battle) joins us at ringcraft sometimes. He's still very cheerful and jumpy but makes a lot of progress every lesson.
He and his owners also come along with us a few times a month at our daily walk. The brothers can't stop playing and running together. Also Koh I Noor loves to hang around with her boys. Dazzle and Masai likes the attention a lot and the cookies they bring every time. It's such a lovely sight the "whole" family all together and pleasure for everyone!
We've made a nice walk in Hooghalen. Click here for the photos.
May 30th
Our dogs were invited to a swim (rescue) workshop organised by Dogsplash, the swimming pool for dogs. Sadly the weather was too cold for our old boy Dazzle and the girls don't like cold water. So we took our brave boy All Stars. While waiting for his turn he played with some other dogs. In the water he didn't understand immediately the meaning of the exercise so they had to lift him up in the water. After that he did so great and even swam to the boat and retrieved a lifebuoy and wetsuit! We're so proud of him, good boy! Click her for the photos.

We went with Joy and All Stars to the DIN-fonds New years walk on the beach in Kijkduin. There were 80 Dalmatians. It was a long drive, but the boys behaved very well together in the car. They ran and played a lot on the beach with all the other Dalmatians but especially with each other. After our walk we drank coffee in a very small and cozy restaurant with lots of other dogs. The brothers did so well, we're very proud of them. Thanks to the owners of Joy for the carpooling!
