Breed Notes 15th April 2022 Margaret Deuchar

NORWEGIAN BUHUNDS

Following the AGM, the annual club trophies won by members are always handed out. Many thanks go to our Trophy Steward Jacqui Cobb, who keeps track of all the Trophies and makes sure that they come back at the right time, so they can be handed out to the next recipient. No mean feat when you bear in mind that there are two open shows, two Ch shows and the annual awards to keep track of. Jacqui also provides laminated cards with the name of the trophy and the winning dog, which can be kept when the trophy is returned. The awards are worked out from points gained in shows, usually from 1st January to 31st December of the previous year, of course last year the show season did not really get under way till July. How the points are worked out can be found on the club website.

The day after the AGM and fun afternoon Mary Dosson and Lisa Strong had another busy day, Mary wrote and told me -: ‘Lisa and I attended the Chippenham and District Canine Society Show held at West Wilts Equestrian Centre, there were no Buhund classes, so we entered the AVNSC classes. Lisa was looking after one of her puppies Draccus Azurite (Odin)who was attending his first ever show, he was in a strong class of 5 and showed very well not being at all worried by the show scene. My Teddy (Kligenthal Bran Mak Morn) won the 4 strong limit class. Lisa then took Eris (Leggatts Dancing Queen at Draccus) into the open class of 10 she showed really well and came second. The judge was Lynn Dumbrell (Bethlyntee). All the Buhunds then did a stakes class and whilst no money was won, we all had a great time.’ Thanks Mary a very busy weekend.

Stay safe everyone.
