Nordic and Amsterdam Winner Shows - November 28th

A bit late, but we had a nice Curvy weekend at the end of November!

Nordic Winner Show 2010, Norway
We had 3 IGs and 1 saluki entered. Easy was also entered, but since she'd been mated about 3 weeks earlier, I didn't want to risk anything.

No winner titles for us, but all 3 IGs were placed in Best Male/Best Bitch competition. Here's the full results:

BM-1, CAC, CACIB, NordW-10, BOS - Eugenios Amenhotep
BM-2, R-CACIB - Ch Alfheim's All Things Considered

BB-1, CAC, CACIB, NordW-10, BOB - Ch Py's Lyrica - New NO Ch!
BB-2, R-CACIB - Ch Biscotti Mademoiselle
BB-3 - Ch Dervisch Haze of Smoke
BB-4 - Ch Aviendha

Chivas - NO Ch Arab Bahari's Baytor Abdullah - got excellent and a great critic, but no placement in championclass for Saija Juutilainen, Finland. There were more than 50 salukis entered, so we're happy to get an excellent.

Amsterdam Winner Show 2010:

This was Esso's last show in the Netherlands, so he needed to do well to gain his last CAC towards his Dutch Championship. Judge was breed specialist Terry Nethercott, UK. He'd judged Esso as a youngster, and gave him excellent but no more. My hopes were not the highest, and I knew some of the most-winning IGs in the Netherlands were coming, but one has to try, right?

Esso won championclass and beat the winner of Junior class for Best Male! That gave him CACIB, the title Amsterdam Winner 2010, and a double CAC to complete his Dutch championship!!! Then Margrét wins Best Bitch with er junior Caeles It's Showtime (Ira daughter), for JCAC, double CAC and two titles: Amsterdam Junior Winner 2010 and Amsterdam Winner 2010! Margrét got help from her friend Asta to show Esso to BOB over Penny - thanks both of you! Nothing in group, but we got to show "them" a different type of IG than what usually wins in the area :)

Esso is now officially called:
Int Nord NO SE DK NL Ch NW-08-09 AmsterdamW-10 Biscotti Esclusivo

New champion!

At the Norwegian Dalmation Club Show (national show), Vita went BB-2 with CAC! She turned 2 years on October 2nd, and only needed a "small" CAC to complete her Norwegian championship!

She's my first home-bred champion, from my first (and so far only) litter, and I'm extremely happy and proud! She's also Esso's 3rd champion offspring (from 3 different litters), so this is indeed a big day for us at kennel Curvy.

Full results:
BOB: N Ch Eugenios Posh Spice
BB-2, CAC, Champion: Aviendha
BB-3: Zaira Feritte Bugsy
BB-4: Nord Ch Talata Yvett

Vita - Aviendha - 1AK 1AKK CK CERT BT-2 - NO Ch!
Nice eyes, good angulation in back legs. Nice head, uses ears well. Good expression. Nice black pigment. Nice bite, nice coat. Moved & showed well.

Easy - NO Ch NV-10 Dervisch Fiorella des Ombreuses - 1CHK 4CHKK CK
Good body, nice head. Good angulation in back legs, nice dark eye. Moved & showed well.

Chivas - NO Ch Arab Bahari's Baytor Abdullah - 1CHK 4CHKK BH-3
Nice dog. Nice head, good expression. Good topline, well muscled back legs. Moved & showed well. Nice neck, good ears.

NKK Int Hamar, October 9th 2010

Off we went to Hamar - thought we had enough time, but because of several detours due to roadwork, we barely made it in time for Chivas to enter the ring! No time to warm up, so not the best performance of his life. He ended up 4th in champion class without CK. But I dreaded a 2.prize, so I guess I'm ok with the placement.

Chivas - NO Ch Arab Bahari's Baytor Abdullah - 1CHK 4CHKK
Masculine male, good head & expression, good body and bones. Could have a firmer front, lowered (?) in topline. Enough angulations behind. Could have more power and spring in his movement. A bit short tail.

In IGs, I was hoping for the last CAC for Vita - she turned 2 years old on October 2nd, so this was her first chance on her championship. Also, I'm always hoping for a CACIB for Easy, and it would have been nice with another CACIB for Ira as well. But that was not going to happen today. BOB was Nord Ch Talata Yvet, BOS and new NO Ch was FI Ch Dervisch Papavero, coming all the way from Finland.

Ira - Am Nord Ch Alfheim's All Things Considered - 1CHK 3CHKK
Masculine head, well placed & well carried ears. Could have more underjaw. Nicely angulated in front, harmonic top/underline. Could have more angulated knees. Almost too much white on chest. Parallell up and down. Could have longer stride and more drive from the side.

Easy - NO Ch NV-10 Dervisch Fiorella des Ombreuses - 1CHK 2CHKK CK BB-3
Excellent type, feminine and well balanced head. Elegant neck, excellent coat. Harmonic top/underline, parallell up and down. Could have slightly longer stride in front (sideview).

Vita - Aviendha - 1AK 2AKK CK BB-4
Excellent breedtype, feminine head, could be slightly more filled out under eyes, could have stronger underjaw. Well angulated front and back, harmonic top/underline. Parallell down/behind, slightly narrow in front, balanced from the side.

So, better luck next time!

N Ch Cheerinova Alladin

Esso's son Cheerinova Alladin became Norwegian Champion today at Sortland, 3+2 IGs entered. He went BOB, BIG and BIS-4! Huge congratulations to Cecilie and Pål, talk about earning his championship with style!!!

Norwegian Sighthound Club Show

Another show today, this time the Norwegian Sighthound Club's Autumnshow. I only had Chivas entered, and he got excellent and CK (champion quality) but was unplaced in Champion Class due to a happy tail. Well, I'd take a happy dog with a happy tail any day over a dog that doesn't want to be in the ring!!!

He got an excellent critic from British judge Diana Allan:
Smooth cream, beautiful and elegant lines. Strong, well muscled neck into correct shoulder assembly. Correct lenght of brisket. Correct bend of stifle. Moved very well, side and front action.

I'll post photos later :)

I also helped show an IG puppy - my friend Mylene has 2 males who's both 8 months old. I helped her with Alvin, her black male, and he was awarded Best Male Puppy. She took him herself in breed, and won BOB. He was later BIS-4 puppy!!!

My sister had Keira (N Ch Biscotti Mademoiselle) and Sasha (N Ch Sasha) entered. I helped her show Sasha in Veteran, and she got Excellent. Keira was Best Bitch and BOS!!! This is her first show as a champion - nice work!

Norwegian Saluki Speciality

Chivas was entered at the Norwegian Saluki Speciality today. This was his first time out as a champion, and I couldn't be there myself to show him, as I had to work... Anyway, Evy did a great job and he got excellent with CK, but were unplaced in Champion class. He also got picked out to compete for Best Movement! Later, he participated in the competition for Best Smooth (won by Caravan Zariefa) and Best Movement (won by Heidi and Evy's Iba).

Our new houseguest

When I visited Margrét earlier this month, we did a little switch - Esso stayed behind with her and I brought her American import Ira with me back to Norway. His official name is Ch Alfheim's All Things Considered (Ch Kimson's Countryboy of Alfheim x Ch Anthony's Poetic Edda O Alfheim). The goal with this switch is for Margrét to show Esso in Be-Ne-Lux, hopefully winning some CAC and perhaps even finish his Dutch Championship (he has 1 CAC there from last summer). And I'll show Ira here in Norway, the goal to finish his Norwegian and Nordic Championships + whatever CACIBs we can get our hands and paws on!

Plans for the summer

Tomorrow's my last day at work before the holidays. I'll be driving down to Margrét in Belgium together with Elisa (knl Berylline), who I've never met before, so I do hope we get along :)

After a couple of days in Belgium, we'll all 3 head down to south-western France for the 50 year Anniversary of the French IG Club! There'll be about 200 IGs meeting at one place, and over 25 are entered for Lure Coursing. Of course, we're bringing a camera or two ;)

I'll be showing Esso, Easy and Vita in France. Chivas are staying in Norway with Evy while we're on the road, running in the fields with the other salukis :)

Dervisch Midas Touch
(Ch Ylladian Eugenios Gavino x Ch Dervisch Fiorella des Ombreuses)

A belated posting of these photos of Vestar at the age of 4,5 months. He was born on December 1st 2009, and is now 7 months old.

He looks like he'll be well within the standard, and I'd like to thank Deb Pupo for taking such good care of "Mr Norway"!

Happy belated Birthdays to the Boys!

Chivas, Arab Bahari's Baytor Abdullah, was 4 years old on May 29th - and Esso, Biscotti Esclusivo, was 4 years old on June 4th. Happy Birthdays to the best boys in the world!

Esso's International Championship

In April, I got this in the mail - Esso's diploma and confirmation of his International Beauty Championship - C.I.B.!!!!! He's my first real showdog, and he's gone all the way to Int Ch - or Int Nord Ch ;) The diploma is now framed and is hanging on the wall in our diningroom.

Norwegian Greyhound Club Show - May 23rd 2010

We'd entered Esso, Easy, Vita and Sasha for this show - Sasha has only been shown once before as a veteran (at the IG Speciality 2009), and since we've entered her for WDS, we thought she'd need a couple of times in the ring to warm up!

The results were:
BM-1, BOS - N S Ch N S LCCh Dervisch Very Valentino - congrats Ludmilla!
BM-2 - N Ch NV-07 Dogcastle's Let Me Entertain You
BM-3, CAC - Eugenios Amenhotep

BB-1, BOB - N Ch Eugenios Posh Spice - congrats Tone!
BB-2, CAC - Soltar's Créme de la Eugenios
BB-3 - Aviendha

Sasha was the one to make us proud today - not only did she go BOB Veteran, but she went all the way to BIS-3 Veteran! This looks promising :)

Time to start blogging again!

I got a new job just a few days after last time I blogged, and I've just been too busy after that. But now the time was right to start blogging again. There's so much to tell, I'll just have to do it bit by bit for the next couple of weeks.


First of all, my sister and I has moved together into a house with garden in Ytre Enebakk, 30 minutes drive from Oslo. There's still a lot to do before we get totally settled - it's only been a week since we finally got our sofa! But we like it here, and it's very nice for the dogs. Since I work in Oslo from 12-20 every day, the dogs get an hour in the woods in the morning before I leave for work.

Kennel Curvy

Finally, my kennelname is confirmed with the Norwegian Kennel Club! My sister and I will now be the owners of Curvy Italian Greyhounds :)

Puppies 6,5 weeks old

New stacked photos of the puppies, 6,5 weeks old. I really like how they look!

They are both very social and outgoing puppies, but other than that, they are two opposite personalities. The girl is a spitfire, everything is full speed, and her tail is constantly wagging. The boy is the calm one, more of a thinker, and he likes to "finish one project" before he starts a new one ;) I'm extremely happy about their temperament.
