DECEMBER 2006
Year end Statistics: Overall Ibizan Hounds Lure
Coursing in Canada
#1 Sailor
#2 Sunrise
#3 Lestat
#4Ellie If Ellie had not come in season and have to "take some time off" she could have taken the third position. That'll be the last time that'll happen as I spayed Ellie in November. Your kids look great. Now you can retired from your reproductive career and do what you love - run.
The TOP 10 overall dogs are all whippets or greyhounds. What I find really interesting is if you look further at the overall statistics is that you will find SAILOR is the highest ranked non-whippet, non-greyhound and is #11 OVERALL.
Also drove to Georgia for the New Year's Gala. Sailor took BOB all 3 days Sunrise was 2nd to her brother and Ellie had a very respectable first and 2 2nds in FCh. While in Georgia I took in an ASFA judging seminar. I feel very prepared having gone through the Canadian system. I am provisional for most of my breeds.
Year end ASFA: Not Bad for limited competition
Sailor # 9
Sunrise #14
Ellie # 20
OCTOBER 2006
Thanksgiving weekend: Sailor back-to -back BOB and back-to-back BIFs. Sailor's Hot!
Again not to be outdone Sunrise has an amazing run and gets BIF the 2nd day of the Region 6 Invitational. Her mother Ellie did the same thing in 2002 in Racine, WI.
SEPTMBER 2006
I started apprentice judging mostly due to a push from Heather Dansereau.
Labour day weekend in Princeton: Sailor's first BIF
Lots of field trial with Sailor and Sunrise trading off for BOB. Nice trip to Ottawa for a field trial in Carp. Stayed at my brother's new house - very close to the site. How handy and can I already make reservations for next year Robert?
AUGUST 2006
Time for another road trip. Off to Winnipeg for the Ibizan Hound Club of Canada first Prairie Regional Specialty. There would be no actual National Specialty this year. The breed was won by Faith one of Roberta Hozempa's puppies. Sailor won the breed at the Manitoba Gazehound Association Specialty and the next day Sunrise won the breed at the field trial and her first BEST IN FIELD.
Back home to New Liskeard for our own Temiskaming Kennel Club show. What a month Sunrise is awarded not 1 but 2 Gr 2. Thank You! Sailor, not to be outdone scores a Gr 1 and for the first time every I have to show for BEST IN SHOW. That was stressful. Professional Handler, Professional Handler, Professional Handler, Well-Known Long Time Breeder and little "ole" me.
Also another first - OLCA had their first field trial at the farm Sailor won BOB the first day then Sunrise the next day but neither could catch Ginny the whippet for BIF either day.
JULY 2006
Sailor's turn for a BIG win! Kawartha Kennel Club Gr 4 under Mrs Paula Hartinger.
Sailor and Sunrise competed in their first field trial at the Afghan Hound Club of Canada in Codrington. It was also Iron Dog weekend and although Ellie is still the fastest for straights and ovals Sailor was the Ibizan Iron Dog winner. Ellie did get a trophy, as she was the OVERALL turtle, yes for all breeds. It's a nice prize anyway Miss Ellie - Thank You.

What a hard decision!! Which boy do I keep? In the end it was Sailor, who was originally Lightening or Lightening Bug named for the bolt of lightening that graced the back of his neck or the fact that he was the smallest boy, my little bug. He always got fed first and last too. I couldn't call him Bug, how would that sound at the II at 5 or 6 am when the call him for roll call. Ibizan Bug to roll call or Ibizan Bug to the line. Not very noble, so I always wanted a Sailor. And that's how he became Sailor - IcyCold Firstmate.
Wilbur- IcyCold First to Fly Wright, my prettiest face boy, goes with Josh to his new home near Wellandport, Ontario.
Sailor and Sunrise will now start their show careers at the Elgin County Kennel Club show in London, Ontario.

Otis - IcyCold First Love, aka Romeo, as he had a heart pattern on his head goes to his new home in Collingwood, Ontario with Veronica and her Weimeraner, Hunter.
Still at home are 2 boys and my pick girl. Now which girl did I keep? She was the first born, the biggest puppy, she was also known as Mickey Mouse girl for the silhouette of Mickey Mouse on the top of her head and back of her neck. I had the name IcyCold First Light of Day - Sunrise, picked out for a long time.
The Georgina Kennel Club held a Sanction Match. Both boys were entered and Sunrise. Sunrise has great stage presence and knows when to put up her ears at the judge. The boys - well, they had a great time but are a little "unfocused" yet. Sunrise even won Gr
