04/10/08 - "Maui" Jonja Finders Keepers (Imp NZ) added another Baby in Group to his collection today with Best Baby in Group at the Dog of the Year Support Committee Show under judge Ms K. Tosi (QLD)... he is truely on a roll taking his tally to 2 BABY IN SHOW and 5 BABY IN GROUP wins. "Maui" is starting to go through his "leggy teenage stage" but that doesn't seem to be stopping him... the judges just love him!! Maui is pictured above with his Grand-dad Oreo "Aust/NZ Ch. Kimyata Puddle O Mud!!
26/09/08 - This year I made the trip down to the Melbourne Royal Show... I try to do a big event every year to get an idea of what other Japanese Spitz are being shown around Australia, as well as meet all new people. Again our trip to Melbourne was a successful one with "Oreo" Aust / NZ Ch. Kimyata Puddle O Mud" winning RESERVE CHALLENGE DOG against some stiff competition … The breed entry was 26 so a nice turnout for the breed! Oreo hasn't been
shown much in recent times and as always shows his little heart out
for me – I was very proud!
I also took my young girl "Cyan" Kimyata Magic Dirt down for the trip... she showed beautifull but having just turned 12 months she was out of her league against the much maturer girls in her class but still placed in her large class which I was very happy with!! Cyan is pictured above - Happy to be home!
I stayed with Pam Taylor of Gelndaruel Japanese Spitz and it was great to see the generations down of Japanese SPitz from my lines, as well as see my girl "Gin" Kimyata Tailor Made who is just a stuning young bitch...
21/09/08 - Maui adds another Best Baby in Group to his collection at the Maree Kennel Club at Durack Showground. The day was a real stinker (HOT) with storms developing in the afternoon which meant it was
HOT and STICKY all day!!!
Maui continued his winning way again today... First he was entered in
the Baby Sweepstakes under Mrs Dickensen-Franks (NSW) (was supposed
to be Mr I. Hinde(VIC)) with a huge baby entry of 40+ Babies with the
judging stretching out for 1 hour... Maui was shortlisted into the
Top 8 babies but refused to stand any longer in the sun and was
trying to get into my shadow <lol> so he missed the top 3 cut...
still a great achievement I think.
Maui went on to take his 4th Baby in Group in a row again yesterday,
the judge Mr MR LeCussan (NSW) was very taken with Maui and didn't
even watch any other babies in Group. Maui went no further in show
this time, Mr LeCussan also did general specials and commented to me
while on the table that Maui had won Baby in Group easily, and that
he was "in the mix" for Baby in Show. Always nice to be some
feedback.
Cyan who has been on a bit of a role lately, behaved very naughty
yesterday and basically gave away her chances, she decided that she
would crab instead of walking properly <grr>, she pulled herself
together for Puppy in Group and got a second glance from the judge
but he already knew who he wanted (which he did with every class and
I think is nice to see).
13/09/07 - Another GREAT weekend for Kimyata…Today was the Allora Kennel Club show under Judge Miss J. Ainscow
(Sunmist Samoyeds), 5 Japanese Spitz present. Challenge Bitch and
Best of Breed went to my young girl "Cyan" Kimyata Magic Dirt (pictured above) with
Dog Challenge & RU Best of Breed going to her brother "Tosh" Kimyata
Australian Idol. Baby of Breed was "Maui" Jonja Finders Keepers (Imp
NZ) (pictured top winning his prize) … Cyan went on to take Puppy in Group and Maui went on to take
BABY IN SHOW!!! As you can imagine I am very proud of his results…
this is his second IN SHOW, again with comments from both judges
stating he is a true showman. General Specials judge was Mrs. K.
Eldred (NSW) which is a familiar name amongst JS results. However
Cyan was a bit unlucky having to follow out Maui as her chances were
lessened (with RUBIS also going to a Non Sporting dog) but she did
behave beautifully and showed her heart out…
07/09/08 - Exciting results for my dogs this weekend... Our new boy Maui "Jonja Finders Keepers (Imp NZ)" (pictured above) was awarded Best Baby in Group and BEST BABY IN SHOW at the Pine Rivers Kennel Club Open Show (400 Entry) and he also took the Baby in Group award at the Championship show under Mr Findlow (NSW)... he was also the only Baby to make it back into the In Show line up both shows. So I was very excited with his results. He really shows his little heart out and won more fans again ringside yesterday, with the champ judge commenting on
his showmanship. :)
On the Saturday at Beaudesert Show Society it was my young girl Cyan "Kimyata Magic Dirt" turn to shine winning a 9pt Challenge Bitch against some nice competition. She was awarded the Reserve Bitch CC on the Sunday again also; she is only 11 months old and is really starting to tread on the older girls heels.
Another brag... Congratulations to Tanya & Takashi "Kimyata Chihu Takashi" in North Qld for another great weekend of results with a 1st Place in Baby Sweepstakes and 2 more Reserve Baby in Groups to add to the collection. :) Takashi is doing exceptionally well with his new owner, and we are both very excited to watch his development.
31/08/08 - Our first show out since after the Royal and what great results we had!! This was "Maui's" first show and we were super happy with his results... "Maui" was awarded 2nd BABY PUPPY SWEEPSTAKES under judge Ms G. Goller (Qld) over 20 other babies (and some steep compeition), he really created a BUZZ around the ring with heaps of people approaching my Mum and myself to gush about how wonderful Maui was!! Very proud!!! Not to be outdone, "Cyan" took to the stage and was awarded Reserve Bitch Challenge (very close to taking the Bitch Challenge award - give her another 2 months) and then went on to take RUNNER UP BEST OF BREED under Mrs T. McDonald ... both these awards were acheived over mature and titled competition so I was very proud... Obviously Cyan was a judge favourite (having awarded her highly before) but sadly Cyan wouldn't stand still for her Class in Group with something really smelling on the ground in front of her and was beaten by the Dalmation - BUGGER!!! That would have been the icing on the cake but a great day was had by all!!!
23/08/08 - Congratulations to Tanya Philips and Kimyata Chihu Takashi on being award BEST BABY IN GROUP on your first show together - under judge Mr. T. McDonald!!!! Takashi has set off on a show career in Far North Qld and we wish Tanya and him all the best... The make a super show team and I think there will be alot more exciting results to come.
17/08/08 - HE HAS ARRIVED!!! It is with great excitement that we announce the arrival of our FIRST IMPORT Jonja Finders Keepers who arrived late Sunday night from a snowing New Zealand. “Maui” is just the most gorgeous little fellow… My first impressions of him was a demanding bark to be let out of the crate and then just a bundle of fearless energy that came tumbling out… he also gives the most gorgeous little snuggles!!
”Maui” as he is known to his friends is our handsome Oreo’s grandson… It was our hope to get a puppy from Oreo when he was in New Zealand in 2006 but this never eventuated… now we have a gorgeous Grandson out of Oreo’s daughter Fudge “NZ Ch. Mondail Cookies and Cream”. Oreo’s daughter Fudge has had an exceptional show career to date taking her first Best of Breed from Baby Class and Multiple Best in Group and Class in Show awards… we hope her son will follow in suit!!
Big Thank-you goes to Jane Faulkner for allowing me to have little “Maui” and sending me such a promising little fellow… I am looking forward to showing him soon!
16/08/08 -The Brisbane Royal has now been and gone for another year… I was very happy with my results again this year with Cyan “Kimyata Magic Dirt” taking one of the Top Awards on the day Champion Puppy of Breed under Japanese judge Mr H. Kamisato. There was a decent entry in the Breed this year with a lot of people coming out of the woodwork for the event. Cyan qualified to attend the General Specials day and compete for Champion Puppy in Group… a great thrill as the Grandstand was packed full of spectators. I was very proud to be 1 of only 2 Japanese Spitz that exhibited on the General Specials day, and I really think Cyan did the breed proud… she held herself together brilliantly and showed beautifully for a 10 month old bitch! I on the other hand was a nervous wreck, worsened by the fact that Cyan was a JUDGE FAVOURITE!! The judge was VERY taken with her… a great credit as the judge was again from Japan - Mr Katsumi Nakano.
The following day was the Gundog and Heavy Breeds Club of QLD show where Oreo took Runner-Up Best Exhibit in Group last year… always a large event following the Ekka General Specials. Not as a successful day for us this year, Cyan still managed to win her Class in Breed and got a very nice looks for Puppy in Group, she behaved beautifully and just stood superbly … but the judging was very facey which is always disappointing – with the who’s who taking out the big prizes!!! Always next time…
27/07/08 - This weekend we attended the Ladies Kennel Association of Qld double header show at Durack… I only had my two young girls “Cyan” & “Cherri” entered with some nice results from the weekend. “Cyan” was awarded a Reserve CC over the weekend as well as being VERY close to taking the Bitch CC on the Sunday against a nice entry of bitches, the judge just STARED at Cyan and really took her time deciding on the Bitch CC… it was very close and I think give her a few more months (she is only 9 months old) and she will be one to beat!!
20/07/08 -WoooHooo!!! Congratulations to Pam Taylor and her young girl “Gin” Kimyata Tailer Made on obtaining Australian Champion status. “Gin” has done exceptionally well in the ring to date, taking Multiple Best of Breed awards over older and titled competition since her first show in Minor…. and at just over 13 months of age her title is an excellent achievement!! Congratulations…. I look forward to seeing my young girl again in September when we attend the Melbourne Royal Show in Victoria.
17/05/08 -Cyan is again awarded Best Bitch Challenge and this time BEST OF BREED at the Brookfield Show. We also had some wonderful photographs taken of Cyan and her brother Bundy which will be updated shortly.
This is our last show until June, with a well deserved rest from the ring.
12/05/08 - It is with sadness that I inform everyone that today our beautiful "Kyra" passed away suddenly from an aggressive and imperceptible form of cancer. She was only 5 years old!
Kyra had only recently returned home to retire with us after being successfully shown by Pam Taylor in Victoria. Kyra had the most stunning temperament and was always there for a cuddle… she fit in easily as part of the family and will be GREATLY missed by all! Kyra left us one parting gift… a litter of gorgeous babies (only 5 weeks old). Rest in piece our special girl!
03/05/08 - What a day for the Japanese Spitz breed and what a day for Kimyata! This weekend was the Asian Breeds Club Show of QLD under judge Ms L. Norman (VIC) and my kennel received some WONDERFUL results.
There was a large number of Japanese Spitz entered (10) with most exhibitors in Queensland present... Best of Breed & Best Bitch Challenge was awarded to Cammie "Ch. Kimyata Spirited Away" owned and handled by Liz Houldsworth, Cammie also went on to take BEST INTERMEDIATE IN SHOW (pictured above). But that was just the start of what was a very successful day, our young girl Cyan "Kimyata Magic Dirt" also took out BEST MINOR IN SHOW and was awarded 1st Place in the Puppy Sweepstakes under Mrs. T. McDonald. I think Ms L. Norman was very taken with her as I had barely stopped and staked Cyan when the judge was already walking up to award her!
Kimyata also was very prominent in the breed results with Oreo "Aust/NZ Ch. Kimyata Puddle O Mud" taking Reserve Dog Challenge and Cammie's son winning Best Dog Challenge and Runner-Up Best of Breed.
The judge later commented that it was excellent to see Japanese Spitz coming down in size and being more correct. She was very happy with what she saw. An excellent day was had by all...
Please enjoy the footage of the show below, it is not the best quality but you get the idea... I am the one in the skirt with blonde hair. :)
05/04/08 - Today we attended the Nanango show with some nice results... I only showed the one japanese Spitz as our gorgoeus girl "Cyan" had an unset stomach and was feeling abit down. The star of the day was "Tosh" who after having a run of being beaten by his sister for Baby of Breed attended his first show in Puppy Class and was awarded Resever Dog Challenge and BEST PUPPY IN GROUP under judge Mr Mr. T.M. Horchner (Vic.)! I was very proud with how he showed and he never stopped smiling. :)
30/03/08 - What a start!! This weeekend we had the Sunshine Coast Kennel Club show under New Zealand Judge Mrs Y. Smith with some lovely results..."Cyan" Kimyata Magic Dirt, who has just gone up into Minor Puppy Class, was awarded Bitch Challenge, Runner Up Best of Breed and MINOR PUPPY IN GROUP only out beaten for Best of Breed by her handsome daddy "Oreo" Aust/NZ Ch. Kimyata Puddle O Mud. Judge was Mrs Y. Smith (NZ)
"Cyan" showed wonderfully for the "In Show" line-up (apart from the occasion hope skip and jump - typical spitz) watching my every move, and standing like a statue... I couldn't have been prouder. The general specials judge was Mrs S. Barrett (NZ) and she gave "Cyan" a VERY good look but was piped at the post by the Staffie. There is always next time...
08/03/08 - "Cyan" does it again proving she has what it takes winning BEST BABY IN GROUP at Pittsworth Show Society under judge Ms K. Tosi (Qld). "Cyan" really gets out there and strutts her stuff beautifully, she just has the "IT" factor. I am very excited to see what the future holds for her and her gorgeous brothers!!!
27/02/08 - My fur kids and I have taken a few weekends off showing recently in order to move into our new place... We have acquired a beautiful property on large acreage with a dam and plenty and room for the Japanese Spitz to play and stretch their legs. I will try to get some piccies of the spitz enjoying their new found space in the coming weeks... but for now their is plenty to unpack!
We have only done a handful of shows so far in 2008 and I have been concentrating on my younger babies... The results recently have been consistent with "Cyan" beating her brothers in her last 2 outings!!!
We have some exciting shows coming up in the future... please keep checking back to see our results!!
12/01/08 - "Tosh" again takes out another Baby of Breed at that Darling Downs Kennel Club show [CH] under Judge Miss D Cuthbert (SA)... while not to be outdone "Cyan" proves she
has what it takes winning BABY IN GROUP at the
Open show against a nice entry of bubs under judge Mr A Brown. Cyan truly strutted her stuff in the General Specials ring and it was lovely to hear people outside the ring saying "the spitz" to win... the judge also commented how happy she was. I couldn't be prouder of how well she went!!
I am very proud of Oreo’s achievement throughout 2007… after returning from a year long trip to New Zealand in 2006 where he was UNBEATEN for Best of Breed; Oreo’s winning run didn’t stop there… Oreo took out 21 Best of Breeds and 29 Dog CC (Championship Shows Only) in 2007 with a further 12 RU Best of Breeds alot of these being from Reserve CC … and this is from a mere 40 odd shows we attended through 2007 making only 8 shows where Oreo wasn’t in the winner circle!!! No bad hey!!
Some of his impressive results include Best of Breeds and RU Best of Breed at some of Australia’s & Queensland’s biggest shows:
• Best of Breed - Adelaide Autumn International [Day 1] Mr C. Stefanescu (Romania)
• RU Best of Breed - Adelaide Autumn International [Day 2] Mr S. Hanaue (Japan)
• Best of Breed - Adelaide Autumn International [Day 3] Mr D. Markus (Canada)
• Best of Breed - Royal Canine Autumn Classic [Day 2 AM] Mr A. Johnson (WA)
• RU Best of Breed - Royal Canine Autumn Classic [Day 2 PM] Mrs J. Kirin (ACT)
• Best of Breed and Australian Bred in Group - IKC "Winter Carnival" Mr D. Harrison (Sth Africa)
• Best of Breed - Western Suburbs Kennel Club "Winter Carnival" Mr Tan Oo Hock (Malaysia)
• Dog CC & RU Best of Breed - Victorian Spitz Breeds Club Mrs W. Slatyer (NSW))
• Best of Breed - Beaudesert Kennel Club Mr S Shen (Singapore)
With his most impressive show win for 2007 being RUNNER-UP BEST IN GROUP & AUSTRALIAN BRED IN GROUP at the Gundog & Heavy Breeds Club of Qld under Mrs C. Byrnes-Suchy (NSW) held at Durack with a group entry of over 100.
2008 will be the year where Oreo takes the back seat while his first Australian litter takes to the ring… He has 3 beautiful babies who hopefully will be following in his Dad’s foot steps.
Although still young and lacking the finish of older bitches (plus a litter in the later part of 2007), Astryd has still managed to take a number of Bitch CC’s, Reserve CC and Runner-Up Best of Breeds over both mature and titles dogs and bitches – taking her closer to her Australian Championship title. Not to mention the multiple championship show Class in Group wins she has under her belt and she has not long entered the Junior Class… Hopefully 2008 will be her year!!
I cannot wait to see what 2008 hold for us!!!
....
01/01/08 - The babies had their first show last night at the Dog of the Year Support Committee show held at Durack... I could not have been prouder with how they went. It appears event he raing couldn't put a damper on the puppies attitudes with Baby of Breed going to "Tosh" who also beat out both his brother and sister for the prize. The bubs really got out there and strutted their stuff like old pros... I do hope they continue in this fashion!!
The show was also the first show for Stefan and his baby "Bundy" Kimyata Midnight Oil... they both did very well for their first outing and made a great team! Watch out for them practising in the ring together more in 2008!!
