Thanks to Candice Purcell for driving all the way there and back and for your handling assistance. And congrats on your BOB and RBOB with Aston, the Saluki.
Although a long tiring weekend, it was a great one.

Our accommodation at Anna Africa, was superb, with lots of unusual creatures (Eland, Reindeer, Buffalo, Springbok, and the odd Alpacca, and plenty Ostrich) around, which kept the Ibizans on their toes, and which kept Wiz awake most of the first night.
Thanks Danyelle Fourie for finding it!

The brothers had a wonderful time playing around together, and drinking from the birdbath together.
Very pleased with the boys' results.

Next stop: October 2025 in Johannesburg!

Things have been quiet with limited shows and watching the pups growing up. They have just turned a year old.

Remi, who has been to the most shows (living in GP where there are shows monthly) has already obtained his JM. He has also passed CGC Bronze, and has his Novice Trick Dog title. Well done Danyelle and Remi!!

Wiz has been to 2 show weekends (only 1 show for his first time out), and has won a Puppy Group, 4 cc's, 3 BOB's and is half way to his JM (if and when we can get to the shows to qualify).

Both Wiz and Remi have started man trailing and are doing great at it. Remi has started flyball and loves it - still too young to compete, but we reckon he's going to be a star! Both are playing with a bit of agility - Remi more successfully than Wiz at this stage.

Bijou has qualified for International Champion, but we are waiting on the FCI ratification (last CACIB to be confirmed) before we can officially announce that!

All in all, it's been a successful year.

Very happy to report that two of the pups attended their first Open Show today. NTKC held at Goldfields.
They took turns in winning Best Baby Puppy in Group. Remi then went on to convert his into a 3rd BBPIS.
Very promising start for both of them.
Thanks to their owners for getting them out there!
Remi is too tired to pose with his rosette ;-)
Judges: Djaki Kern and Hiroshan Moodley.

They're not just gorgeous to look at...

So proud of this pup's owner, Danyelle, for trying different things with Remi, to see what he likes doing.
I'm seriously impressed that at not even 4 months of age, Remi is showing great promise at being a Mantrailing dog!
This was his very first attempt at it, and he was very keen.

A new meaning to the phrase "It's not inside, it's on top"!

A bit later in the day (second photo), and he's back there again!

It's wonderful when they've had a good run in the main garden. And then retire peacefully ;-)

Guess what! It's raining again, so pups are all over the house.
Housework must go on. So they've met the washing machine!

Gorgeous Bijou...
GR CH, CH Bijou de la Sierra of Meraki (IMP SPAIN).
She obtained a 4th Best in Show at Natal Sporting Hounds Association championship show today under judge Mr Louis Kruger (SA).
Sadly we cannot attend the rest of the shows over the weekend for lack of a puppy sitter.

Added photos taken at the show, I think by Candice Purcell, the NSHA Chairlady.

And this little one found another sibling she didn't know she had ;-)

Gave the pups time to explore the house for a bit. Mom wants little to do with those teeth!
