The Bellator Girls had a GREAT Sunday in Vermont to finish off the Vermont Scenic Circuit!
Unfortunately Dog Show Daddy couldn’t make it last minute due to the RV requiring service, so he had to stay home with the other doggies.
First up, Ms Ginger - Bellator’s Afternoon Tea (Ch Eldorado N Jublie Xcellent Adventure X
Ch Bellator's Pinot Noir) went WB for her third 3 point major which finished her AKC Championship!!
Next, Ms Rozzy - GChB Bellator’s Close Encounter JC CA BCAT (GCh Eldorado N Akuaba Spy In Disguise At Relic X Ch Dark Moon’s Sojourner) was awarded BOB & BOBOH - this OH win earned her NOHS Silver level of achievement!!
HUGE thank you to judge Ms Helene Nietsch for finding the Bellator Girls in the beautiful line up of basenjis!!
Shortly after the basenji ringtime….but thankfully no conflict, Ms Rio and Ms Grýla had their turn in the ring!
Ms Grýla - Bellator’s Regal Yule Sorceress (Hope’s Sterling Silver Azeem X Regal’s Coven With Bellator CM2 BCAT) was awarded BOB for her 15th CM (Certificate of Merit) point and therefore earning her CM at just 6 months and 2 weeks of age!
Ms Rio - Regal’s Enchanter at Bellator CM (Sibridge’s Caney River @ Regal X Regal’s Sweet Voice For Freyja) was handled by our friend Rosie, who is always up for a challenge and always tries to make sure the dogs have fun…which is important when all Rio wants to do it chase Grýla or get back to momma lol. Thank you Rosie for always being such a good sport and always having such a positive attitude with the doggies!
Thank you to judge Ms Patricia Proctor for your patience and humor in the ring with these two Klee Kai babies!
Rio, who previously earned her CM last weekend, is the 4th Alaskan Klee Kai to receive their CM since the AKK moved to Miscellaneous Classification on 25 June 2025. Grýla is the 6th Klee Kai to earn their CM and quite likely the youngest Klee Kai CM earner!
After the Klee Kai had their time in the ring, we had some downtime waiting for groups to enjoy watching the show and sampling the delicious Maple Creamies (maple soft serve ice cream). All the dogs approved of the ice cream!!
Back in the Hound Group ring with Roswell, she FLEW around the ring and earned a Hound Group 2 placement in a top quality packed hound group under judge Ms Helene Nietsch! For OH Groups the sun and humidity came back out in full force and our little black and white girl said NOPE, it’s hot! lol. She was way less animated for OH group, but still put on a decent performance. We are sooo proud of Roswell and all she’s accomplished, she’s truly OUTTA THIS WORLD!
So, although we missed Dog Show Daddy tremendously, the Bellator Girls still had a great time in Vermont!
Next up is the Hudson River Valley Hound Association double shows on July 20th!! After that, this Bellator crew will be taking a couple week break before jumping back in!
We still have Ms Henny - Bellator’s Dark Holiday (Ch Sundiata Tezeta's Bon Vivant X Ch Dark Moon's Sojourner) waiting in the wings to finish her championship! She has both majors already, just needs points!
Plus with have Torunn’s Little Outlaws we hope to get into the ring soon!
