Bouviers with new friends
Rhapsody, Rita and Savoy enjoyed themselves at the B’dos. Kennel Club’s All Breeds Championship Dog show which was held on November 29th with UK judge Jeff Luscott.
The show was sponsored by Hanschell, Inniss Ltd. who are the local agents for Pedigree. I visited the Pedigree booth and Wayne, Selwyn and Richard were introduced to the Bouviers and posed for the pix.
The booth also had a vet, Carol Hull-Jackson from The Pet Health Centre, Porters, St. James and a veterinary assistant from Total Loving Care Veterinary Services, Brittons Hill Main Road, St. Michael who were both interesting to talk with. I purchased some canine dental tooth paste and a brush from the booth.
Yes, Bouviers consider that your Xmas present 🙂 instead of bones 🙂
Richard told me that Pedigree will soon be introducing 2 new products for dogs, these are:
PEDIGREE SMALL BREED® Nutrition Mini Crunchy Bites is specially formulated for small breeds of dogs. The Small Breed Nutrition recipe tastes great with more healthy whole grains and vegetable flavors. This recipe features smaller, easier to crunch kibble and has the great, meaty taste little dogs love in a big way. It has a minimum of 21percent protein guaranteed with Chicken as the main source of animal protein.
PEDIGREE HEALTHY MATURITY® is specially formulated for dogs, six years and older. As your canine ages, its dietary requirements changes and Healthy maturity supports the requirements of these dogs, being easier to chew and offering Omega 3 fatty acids to support joint health and sharp and accurate minds. Not only does this recipe include calcium to promote the health of his bones and teeth, it features easier-to-chew kibble for sensitive teeth and gums.
These products as well as the entire Pedigree line of Dog Chows are available from the Hanschell Inniss Sales Centre in Fontabelle and at leading Retail stores island wide.
Rita and a new friend
The usual friendly photographer Joanne Spencer was not at the show nor any of my friends who would take group and other pix.
Some pix. and results will be posted later in the week but it is always challenging when you have to be back in the ring for group judging to be organised to capture images with a camera.
When the critique is out, it will be posted on this blog.
Jeff Luscott withheld Challenge Certificates from several breeds and Reserve Challenge Certificates were also withheld.
I think it is important that UK judges although they may regard Barbados as a holiday destination, remember they are still on a judging assignment and it is important that the breed standards of judging be maintained.
In issuing a Challenge Certificate the judge is basically saying that the dog he judged on that day is of quality to be considered as “champion”. In the event that he has two dogs of the same sex of the same breed that he considers of champion quality, he issues a Reserve Challenge Certificate.
In the event that the first top dog if it is Best of Breed does not return to the ring for the group judging, the dog with the Reserve Challenge Certificate if it is the Reserve Best of Breed will return to the ring and the judge will know that he still has a good quality dog to judge in the group.
Cheap champions would compromise the value of the title Champion in front of a dog’s name.
