  3. Clancy's Win at Launceston Royal…

Clancy's Win at Launceston Royal…

Off Topic
  • sabaS

    Clancy is our 5 year old Australian Cattle Dog, who was probably having his second last show, at this years Royal Launceston Show.

    He was very badly handled by a judge during a very formative period of development, and has disliked being handled by strangers since then. Prior to this he was a very happy, outgoing, people loving dog. Anyway he has his moments, and has been withdrawn occasionally, when judges havent been able to go over him. In the last 4-6 months he just isnt coping, and has had a terrible run of crappy judges, along with him just having enough. I actually didnt even want to enter him for this show at all, but Mr Saba did, so I entered him ;)

    Well, he was good with the judge this show, he crouched a little, but thats all. He won his class, then went onto Res Ch dog, and Runner-Up Best of Breed… We were very happy with him. He was also the best Statebred dog of breed too, (meaning he was born in the state of Tasmania...). We were able to show him in the Best Statebred in Group, and he ............................WON... We are very proud of him, winning this award, against some pretty credentialed dogs in our Working Dog Group, (I think its your Herding Group...). He was then eligible to go in for Best Statebred In Show, and while the judge gave him a good look, he didnt win...

    We are proud of our boy, he managed to pull it all together at just the right time :D

    Only one more show for him, then thats it, depending on how he is feeling though... He is entered, but ??? whether he gets shown. We really think he has had enough. He has made us proud with some pretty impressive wins over the last couple of years, so now its our turn to do the right thing by him :).

    Thanks for letting me brag about our handsome man...

    Thanks moetmum,

    Wouldnt have minded having a glass of Moet after his win !!!

    We are pleased with him. He is a lovely, self stacking, showy boy, once the judge is finished going over him. He has this little quirk, when he thinks hes going to win, he will turn to the judge and start baking at them :o:o I tell you what, I think it has worked on occasions, cos the judge does turn to look at him… We never taught him, its just him. How he knows, I dont know. Why he does it, we dont know... My hubby shows him so well, and once this barking starts, I think its the only time he doest get told off, or told to 'shut-up', hubby lets him do it !!! Its not every show either... Funny little man... We will miss him at the shows though...

    They are adorable :) Watson always gets identified as some sort of terrier. He has been a rat terrier and a toy fox terrier…

    @Basenjimamma: …Oh, I want one of those generators too..they are just so darn expensive..We need them down here too, if we have a storm, our neighborhood of 25 or so homes are one of the last on the list to get our power back..it sucks.. We do have a generator that is large enough to either run the fridge and a few lamps, OR our waterpump..so you have to pick your battles when the electricity goes.. Yeah, see my problem is I want the whole house automatically on when the power goes out - gone are the days when I find it an adventure! As it is, I've compromised and were only doing the first floor (including all kitchen, laundry, office, bedrooms, bath, basement - furnace, well/water) and the only thing on the 2nd floor will be the bathroom. During the ice storm last winter we lost power for 4 days. During the ice storm of 98 (?) we lost power for 17days - CNN was filming right in front of our house. :eek:

    We were in Ohio when I wrote it. Ohio was admitted to the Union on March 1, 1803, but Congress apparently forgot to vote on the resolution. It was finally rectified on August 7, 1953, which technically makes Ohio the 47th state. However, it is counted as the 17th because it wasn't Ohioans who created the problem. Who says our Federal government isn't efficient? Zanesville, OH is the location of the Y Bridge, which starts and ends on the same side of the river. But that's where we were. The wolverine is the official state animal and nickname of the state. Fur trappers from Canada brought pelts across the state and folks further south assumed (there's that word again) the pelts were trapped in Michigan. The Detroit Red Wings assembled the Russian Five, who propelled the Hockey team to the Stanley Cup in 1997. Within a few days of the win, one of the team members was permanently benched in an auto accident, but the remaining four were instrumental in the 1998 and 2002 Stanley Cup wins for the Red Wings. We will be in Grand Rapids, MI tomorrow morning. Ms. Basenjimamma: The temperature here right now is 51F. :)
