FINE RESULTATER I ROSKILDE

At the DKK nordic and international show in Roskilde Buzz and Momo entered all three days.

Momo won open class bitches with CCQ on Friday under judge Annukka Paloheimo Segersven.
The two following days she got excellent and became 3. winner Sunday.

Buzz (LabDimension First Beam of Light) won his class Friday and Saturday and became best puppy both days, so we had the joy of showing in the main ring again. Saturday Nina Skelbred from Norway was judging.

På DKK’s nordiske og internationale udstilling i Roskilde, stillede Momo og Buzz alle tre dage.

Momo vandt åben klasse med CK om fredagen for Annukka Paloheimo Segersven.

NICE RESULTS IN VEJEN
FINE RESULTATER I VEJEN

At the DKK nordic and international show in Vejen on the 19. and 20. August Momo and her two puppies entered. Momo for the first time since giving birth, and the two youngsters for the first time in puppyclass.
Momo gained a 4th winner by judge Kim Bay and a 2. winner by judge Roi Oliveira.
Buzz (LabDimension First Beam of Light) won his class both days and even won against the bitch-puppy. Sunday the winning bitch-puppy was his sister Casey (LabDimension First Moment of Joy). Very special feeling to have bred both the BOB and the BOS puppy.

På DKK’s nordiske og internationale udstilling i Vejen den 19. og 20. august deltog Momo for første gang siden fødslen og Buzz (LabDimension First Beam of Light) for første gang i hvalpeklassen sammen med sin søster, Casey (LabDimension First Moment of Joy), som kun deltog søndag.
Lørdag var dommeren Kim Bay. Momo var glad for at være med igen, og hun fik en 4. plads i åbenklasse. Buzz var i konkurrence med sig selv, men fik en fin kritik og gjorde det godt – og han slog også den bedste tævehvalp – og blev dermed BIR-hvalp!
Søndag var dommeren portugisiske Roi Oliveira og han placerede Momo som nummer 2 i sin klasse. Buzz slog sin konkurrent og blev nr. 1 igen – og slog igen bedste tævehvalp, som idag var fine søster Casey. Stort tillykke til Louise og Martin med Casey.
Der er noget særligt over at stå med både BIR- og BIM-hvalp.

UWT Beginners Class passed
On a beautiful October day in Horserød Hegn Momo and I attended an unofficial working test. Some of the posts she managed very well with 19 and 18 points and at some we needed portion of luck. Bottomline: we passed!

Thanks to all the judges, the helpers, the sponsors and all the participants for a great and pleasant day in the woods.

1. PRIZE Blood tracking trial – 400 m/ 3 hrs
At the Danish Retriever Club Midsealand region’s 50 years anniversary event, Momo and I attented the official blood tracking trial. The first level of trials in this discipline is a 400 m trail that has ‘rested’ for three hours. This is Momo’s first trial on this type of work – and she did a great job. So now we will keep on working – and the next level is a trail that has layed for more than 20 hours. Thanks to the judge, Niels Christoffersen, and the trailmakers for an exiting trail – and to the club for a great weekend!

2. BEST BITCH – SWEDISH CAC!
The swedish Spaniel and Retriever Club (SSRK) hosted a national show in Gränna 19. June 2022.
Momo entered open class with 17 entries, so once again it was a large class. (51 entires in all: 13 dogs, 30 bitches, 8 puppies). Judge was Filip Johnsson and he apparently liked Momo, as she won her class with excellent and CCQ. Finally she became second best bitch and as the winning bitch is a swedish champion, the certificate was given to us. What a day!

27.04.2022 – 1. prize on ‘Debutant prøve’
– unofficial
Debut on the new trial ‘Debutant prøve’ in Holløse in Nordsjælland. The trial is on dummies and is –as the name suggests – on a beginners level. Nevertheless only 8 of 25 entries gained 1. prize. And Momo did well this day… Good girl!

20.03.2022 – Unofficial Working Test – UWT
In Krogenberg Hegn DRK arranged a UWT with five posts. Of the 32 participants in beginners class only seven passed. Of the seven, only one was a field trial labrador, which became 3. winner. So six of the seven were all classic type labradors.
Memphis’ daughter Astrid/Nala became 4. winner with a nice score including
2 x 20 point – 11 months old. Momo and I just passed and surprisingly became 7. winner.

12.02.2022 – Unofficial trial – ‘C-prøve’
Today was an unofficial test on dummies (and no water) and first part of the trial Momo did perfectly – four markings of which one of them was thrown as a distraction to begin with and some heelwork. Second part was a ‘free search’ and here there is still room for improvement. We got a 2. prize (very good). I am pleased, as issues we have been working on apparently has been solved.

12.12. 2021 – ‘Brugsprøve’ / Obidence test
Daughter of Memphis and Fluffy, Astrid aka Nala, passed the basic obidience test. She is 8 months old and did everything perfect!

Two intense days with four shows! More than 120 entries at each show – and with 24-27 entries in open class bitches you know in advance that it will be a difficult competition.

Still Creekwater Cherish the Moment – Momo – did really well and achieved two CCQ’s this weekend. The first as 3. winner in class judged by Phillipe Lammens – and the second as 5. winner in class by judge Torunn Sørbye.

The two other shows she gained excellent – and made the first cut by judge Anna Geschwindt Hartvig. The fourth judge Matija Ficko liked a different type – and here Momo’s sister Fenna (Creekwater Celebration Time) made the first cut with a nice critique.

Thank you Britta Lantz for the photos.
