A successful show weekend in Hungary is behind us: Maverick (Multi-Champ. Caipirinha's NEED 4SPEED) has been shown at the double CACIB show in Nemezetközi-Velence on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday he was Exc. 1, CAC, CACIB (Winners Dog), BOB, Sunday he was Exc. 1, CAC, Res. CACIB (Reserve Winners Dog). With the great result on Saturday Maverickfulfills the conditions for the FCI International Beauty Champion. Maverick is our first own bred Internationl Champion. A heartfelt thank you once again to our friend Dorka who handled Maverick really great, and of course thanks to the judges who gave the great results. Terézia has sent some photos from the Saturday show and from Dorka we received two nice pictures of Sunday (thank you!) which can now be seen in the Photo Gallery of Maverick.
When we look back we can really be very proud of the success of that young male: February 2012 BIS Puppy in Budapest, October 2012 Champion of Bulgaria, July 2013 Champion of Hungary, September 2013 Champion of Romania and Transilvania Winner, 2013 Best Chinese Crested Austria and second best show dog of the Toy Breed Club Austria, from October 2013 until April 2015 not shown, June 2015 International Champion. To the Championships of Hungary and Romania he was owner-handled, the other results Dorka gained with him. Now it is meant to think in which other countries we will show the boy.
It was great again to meet lots of friends in Hungary and spend two great days with them. A special thank you goes to our friend Judit where Maverick and I stayed since Friday and where I was spoiled with totally excellent food, Maverick with cuddles. We are looking forward to our next visit in Hungary.

Finally it is warm and the sun is shining. It was about time to set up the paddling pool for the dogs. However, it was only the two Briards Jag Junior (JAG LE CANNIBAL JUNIOR de la Chaume du Bois Dieu) and Jebelle (JEBELLE de la Chaume du Bois Dieu) who were fully delighted. As they had so much fun limitless photos have been taken from their water games.
Therefore, the new Photo Gallery Water games Jag & Jebelle has been set up. Have fun when watching.
And there have also been taken new photos from some of the Chinese Crested, and their photo galleries have been updated: Photo Gallery of Keanu (Multi-Champ. Whisperingln' THE DEVILS ADVOCATE), Photo Gallery of Maverick (Multi-Champ. Caipirinha's NEED 4SPEED), Photo Gallery of Memy (Multi-Champ. INCREDIBLE ME von Shinbashi), Photo Gallery of Secret (Explicit's SINS AND SECRETS FOR CAIPIRINHA'S) and one photo in the Photo Gallery of Emily (Explicit's SHUT UP I'M STILL TALKING).

The next birthday is celebrated: Our own bred Multi-Champion dog Maverick (Multi-Champ. Caipirinha's NEED 4SPEED) is 4 years young. The most heartfelt congratulations to our great boy.
Of course also Happy Birthday to his siblings of the N litter: Needy (Caipirinha's NEEDLESS 2SAY), Tanner (Champ. Caipirinha's NUTBUSH CITY LIMIT) and Toulouse (Caipirinha's NOTHING 2LOSE). Unfortunately we don't know anything about Toulouse, where he is and how he is doing, as we have sadly and by necessity lost him out of sight after his first owner placed him. We hope imploringly that he is having a great life and is healthy and cheerfully.

Today we have finally been at a show again, namely with both the Briards Jag Junior (JAG LE CANNIBAL JUNIOR de la Chaume du Bois Dieu) and Jebelle (JEBELLE de la Chaume du Bois Dieu). We drove to Mosonmagyaróvár/Hungary to a CAC Show - a trip of only one and a half hours. Unfortunately, the weather was not co-operating when we passed the Hungarian border, and therefore, the ground in the whole show area was a mush and water. With effort the dirt could be removed from the dog legs before the show started but the legs did not dry unfortunately because it only stopped to rain when the show had begun (we must shop - even if with reluctance - probably "shoes" for the both). And I walked around with wet feet from the time as everything was put up near the ring, because my shoes were not laid out for so much moisture. There was also not really place to go walking the dogs and it was tremendously complicated by the bad ground situation.
The show ring was very small, and ring side there were some aggressive dogs who complicated the appearance of our both inexperienced dogs a bit. It was probably not the best idea to show both dogs when being alone at a show. Certainly we won't do something like this in the near future as long as both the dogs don't have more experience. Luckily a nice couple was willing to have the second dog near the ring entrance so that I could change them fast.
Still both succeeded with great results: Jag Junior went Junior Winner and Best Junior (it was only his third show after a break of 7 months), Jebelle left the ring as Best Puppy (for her it was the very first show).
It is not quite correct to leave the show before the end, but both the dogs were long enough in the crates and in bad weather and thus we did not wait for the final competitions to go the final ring with Jebelle. Both should get experience and then things will be different. All in all, however, still very nice success with both the dogs. We are going to train them now, Jebelle will have a longer break until Jag Junior has got more experience, and then we'll see if there is an opportunity to travel again with both.

On May 15, our P litter celebrated the first birthday. Happy Birthday to Prada, Pagani and Porsche. And May 21, was the 10th birthday of our first Chinese Crested - Voodoo (Champ. Family Song's VOODOO). Also to him our heartfelt congratulations and wishes for continuing healthiness as well as the wish for many more years with him.
On May 16, it was 6 years ago that our Whoopy (EXCUSE-MOI WHOOPY de la Maison du Garde-Barrière) went to the other side of the Rainbow Bridge , May 18, would have been her and the birthday of our E litter (Briards de la Maison du Garde-Barrière). We have lit a candle for all the 6 of that litter, and our thoughts are also with their owners who all miss their darlings.
May 14, 2015:
As the weather was good, but also at the occasion of the half year birthday of Jebelle (JEBELLE de la Chaume du Bois Dieu) lots of pictures have been taken from her and Jag Junior (JAG LE CANNIBAL JUNIOR de la Chaume du Bois Dieu). These photos can be found in the photo galleries Jebelle (childhood) and Jag Junior (youth). Also some photos of both of them playing turned out well, and with those potos the new photo gallery Jag & Jebelle has been set up.
Have fun looking at them.

Again days of memories: on April 13, it was two years ago that Sambo (SAMBO de la Chaume du Bois Dieu) went over the Rainbow Bridge, and it was April 14, 2010, when we had to let go Oh-Lala (Multi-Sel. OH-LALA des Monts d'en Crauzille). On April 22, was the birthday of Arwa Z. (ARWA Zevar CS, SchH 1), and on April 23, it was two years ago that Gizmo's son Amaretto went to the other side of the Rainbow Bridge . For all of them candles have been lit in remembrance.
April 8, 2015:
Yesterday the weather was again nice and pics of Jag Junior (JAG LE CANNIBAL JUNIOR de la Chaume du Bois Dieu) at his play time were taken. They are now in his Photo Gallery (Jag Junior - Youth).
Today we celebrate the birthday of our G litter, the kids of Oh-Lala (Multi-Sel. OH-LALA des Monts d'en Crauzille) and Jolly Jumper Gris des Monts d'en Crauzille. All the very best to Aysha (G'Aysha Blonde de la Maison du Garde-Barrière). For all the other ones we have lit a candle as they have already crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Andit would also be the birthday of Sambo (SAMBO de la Chaume du Bois Dieu), who unfortunately could only have the life we would have had deserved only for about one year. Our thoughts are also with him and a candle is burning for him.
April 6, 2015:
The weather was fine today and therefore, new photos of Jebelle (JEBELLE de la Chaume du Bois Dieu) were taken which are now in her Photo Gallery (Jebelle - Childhood).
