We've found this lovely picture of Boomer (Multi BISS Merry Go Round Ten) on Facebook, the father of our B-Litter. On this picture he was already 12 years old and competed at his last show. It's still a special feeling to have children of him and Koh I Noor (Multi Ch. Handsome Friends Adamas Koh I Noor). 

November 3rd

Last week we had a trip to visit some friends.

At first we visit Nelleke and Ab, the breeders of our first love Dazzle (Multi Ch. Handsome Harley Dalmoor Manor († '16). They don't have dalmatians anymore but we were welcomed by dachshunds Gijs and Abel. We had a great time together.
Then we drove to Noah (Handsome Friends Bold to the Bone) and his moms Myrthe and Willeke. Noah is such a sweet and gentle dog. A friend for life!
At the end of the day we've visited Liesbeth and Marijn and their spotties Coco (Handsome Friends All You Need) and Enzo (Handsome Friends Bo's Black Legend - co-owned by us). The dogs were so happy to see us and wanted to kiss and cuddle all the time. So sweet. 
We're very satisfied and happy how our B-litter developed. They are all lovely dogs with a really good construction. We're very proud of our special B litter.
We want to thank everybody for their hospitality.

Masai (Multi.Ch. First Forest Forever Friends) was the oldest in her class with 11 years and 7 months and was placed 3rd with Excellent.

We are very proud of all of them! It was very hot but we had a nice place under the tree so it was not to hot in the tent. Only in the ring is was hot for the dogs, especcially for Masai but after they finished we spoiled them with goat milk. It was a really great day with all our dogs complete and the company of Joy his owners. Sadly we haven't got that much pictures.

June 11th

Yesterday we went with Joy to the International Dogshow in Tilburg. The judge was Mr. Deschuymere (BE).

Joy was 1VG in Open Class males. It was disappointing to read in his judge report he had a lower qualification because he didn't want to be touched. But this wasn't thrue; the judge touched him without any problems?! Joy had a very nice day and made lots of new friends so we're very proud of him.

June 6th

Perfect weather for some icecream in the garden.

In the final for the veterans she did amazing and won 2nd Best Veteran of the Day!! The judge told us Koh I Noor catched his eye immediatly; "A lovely bitch with a really good size and amazing movement". Wow, what a great comment. 

Of course Koh I Noor and Joy did some shopping to celebrate the amazing results and chosen and nice cuddle blanket. A day to remember.

March 11th

Today we've tried a new sport with Koh I Noor. At first she didn't wanted to pull the step but walked perfectly at the back wheel, just as she belongs to do when we take her with our pony in front of the carriage. So we changed; Leonieke with the experienced dog in front and the instructor with Koh I Noor behind her. And it worked, she did amazing. Good girls!! 

March 5th

We had a wonderfull show weekend at the MartiniDogShow in Groningen. The first day Mr. Hiddes (NL) judged the Dalmatians. In his opinion the spotting of our (and many other) dogs is to heavy so the qualifications where a bit dissapointing. They ended up with these results;

All Stars (Handsome Friends Bo Darya-Ye Noor) was 3VG in open class males. He had a very nice judge report. All Stars did really great and enjoyed his time in the ring very much. So we're very proud and satisfied with his performance.

Koh I Noor (Multi.Ch. Handsome Friends Adamas Koh I Noor) was 2VG in veteran class bitches. She also had a great judge report and loved being in the showring again.

After the judging our dogs took part at a amazing dog diner in the ring of honour. They really loved it!

The second day the judge for the Dalmatians was Mr. Tainin (IL). 

Joy (Handsome Friends Brazilian Battle) was 2Exc in open class males. The number one became Best Male so after that Joy beat the junior,  intermediare and champion males and was choosen as 2nd Best Male with RCAC/ RCACIB! The judge loved his "marvelous gait".

Koh I Noor (Multi.Ch. Handsome Friends Adamas Koh I Noor) was 1Exc. in veteran class bitches with VCAC. Later Koh I Noor also won 2nd Best Bitch with RCAC and Best Veteran of Breed! 

They both did perfect and had amazing judge reports. After the judging our dogs took part at a workshop body awareness in the main ring. They had a great time!
